MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 10.)

SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were for
.he most part inclined to realise, but submitting to lower rates,
and making the decline for the week 6d to Is per cwt, occa-
sioned the demand to be fair. I❑ all 500 were sold to-day,

- •
making the total sales for the week 2,250 hhds and tierces.
REFINED.—To- day 64s to 65s were the rates taken for
brown grocery, and 66s for standard lumps, but upon
these terms aMr business was done. The market is quiet
for bonded Crushed Sugar, and 38s to 39s per cwt is the
rate of first quality.
111.avit1nus.—For strong refining and bright grocery quali-
ties, a good demand has existed, and the rates are on a par
with those of this day week, but all inferior and brown sorts,
of which the supply chiefix consists, have been purchased
with caution, and a decline in prices of Is to 2s has taken

place.
FOREIGN.``--the market having been sparingly supplied
with all descriptidns of Foreign Sugar this week, any mate-
rial decline in prices has been prevented, but there is a want
of demand, and stocks are accumulating. Although white
and brown Brazil may be purchased privately at a further
reduction in prices, still very little business has been trans-
acted by Exporters or cur Refiners working under bond.
In other sorts of Foreign there has been very little business
transacted, and former rates are not obtainable.
MOLASSES.—Prices continue firm for West India, and sales
to a fair extent have been made. A strong desire has been
shown to purchase Bengal Treacle for present and forward
delivery, and prices have advanced to 19s to 20s per cwt.
EAST IsanA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with
attention, and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting
to 3,843 bags, were principally sold at full rates.
COFFEE.—This afternoon a large parcel of Plantation
Ceylon was submitted to public competition, and.nearly the
whole sold, but prices ruled irregular; on the whole, how-
ever, they were equal to those previously quoted.
TEA.—There has been a falling off in the demand for Black
and Green this week, in consequence of public sales to the
extent of 22,000 packages being announced for Tuesday
next • but in the value little variation has occurred, al
though there are further arrivals.
COCOA.—The stock of West India having accumulated
considerably_ of late, a stronger desire has been shown by
some parties to realise this week, and the limited business
transacted has been at a decline on former rates of 2s per cwt.
SPICES.—This afternoon Nutmegs were in excellent re-
quest, and 14 cases at auction were sold at rather higher
rates. Of Mace the supply is on the increase—at auction,
however, 18 cases were offered, and all sold at the full value.
White Pepper was purchased with caution, and 325 bags at
auction were all taken in at 5d for mid, and 6d fur good mid
quality. Of Malabar 1,001 bags were all sold at the full value,
and brought 5%d for heavy bright clean brown ; 183 barrels of
Jamaica Ginger fetched 31 7s to 718 s for good and fine.
With Cassia Lignea the market was abundantly supplied ;
two parcels amounting to 3,640 chests were submitted to
public competion ; buyers were desirous to purchase, and it
sold with much spirit at an advance on former rates o, 2s
to ss.
RlCE.—This afternoon Bengal Rice was sought after, and
961 bags at auction sold rather above the former value—good
mid white at 19s 6d to 20s, mid 18s 6d, sea damaged, first
class 18s to 18s 6d, second class 17s, third class 14s, fourth
and fifth class lOs 6d to lls, sugar damaged 17s per cwt.
SPIRITS.—There has been an extensive business transacted
in every description of Jamaica Rum this week by exporters
and the home trade; the sale amount to 1,000
puns, at a further advance in prices of Id to 2d per
gallon. Leeward Island has been in excellent request, and
brought stiffer rates; the quantity sold has been 200 puns,
proof at is lld to 2s. and tine brown ditto at 2s 9id. De-
merara has been sold to a fair extent and at stiffer rates,
strong quality bringing 2s 10d to 3s 2d. Calcutta has been
much sought atter, and prices continue on the rise.
INviGo.—To- day, at the quarterly sales, exporters and
the home trade were cautious in their proceedings, but im-
porters continue to show firmness. Of the total quantity
passed the sales this afternoon, amounting to 6,993 chests,
1,040 have been taken in, 3,281 withdrawn, leaving only
2,672 chests actually sold. For Bengal prices ranged from
3s to 6s Bd, Madras 2s 6d to 3s Bd, and Oudes 2s 9d to
3s 8d per lb.
COCHINEAL—This afternoon a stronger desire was shown
to purchase, and 125 bags at auction were all sold, 5s 7d to
5s 10d for Honduras silvers, being full rates.
SALTPETRE.—Rough has been in much better request, and
the parcels taken for home consumption and exportation, by
private treaty, were at better prices.
OILS.—In Seal Oil the purchases made by exporters and
the home trade have been on a more extended scale, but
holders are inclined to realise and accept 301 lOs to 30l 158 for
pale, 291 lOs to 301 for straw, 28110 s to 291 for yellow, and
27/ aOs to 28s per tun for brown. Although Cod can be pur-
chased at the low rate of 291t0 291105, still little business has
been transacted. There are very few buyers of Southern
for home consumption or exportation notwithstanding the
cheapness of the article. Sperm has been purchased with
more freedom. Linseed Oil has been in extensive request on
the spot ; further purchases have been made by exporters,
and prices continue on the rise. In Rapeseed Oil many pur-
chases have been made. Olive has been in excellent request,
and bring full rates. Spanish and Sicily 38/ lOs to 39s
per tun.
