MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 1.)
Suown.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were
less inclined to realise, and the demand being good they
obtained prices rather above those of yesterday for the
lower kinds, and former rates for the better qualities, so
that prices closed the same as on Friday last ; 500 were
sold to-day, making the total sales for the week 2,200
hbds and tree.
REFINED.—A further reduction in prices having been
submitted to for Refined goods, the Home trade have
been induced to purchase largely ; brown lumps have
been selling a 71s to 71s 6d, standard lumps 72s to 72s
6d, tittlers eommon to middling 71s 6d to 745, good 75s
to 775, fine 78s to 83s, Timbre.' loaves 72s to 82s, double
ditto 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 70s to 71s per cwt.Bastartis
at 381 to 425, middling 43s to 465, good 47s to 50s, and
fine 51s to 55s per cwt. For pieces there are still several
purchasers, but prices are not so high, fine selling at 68s
to 70s, good middling and good 66s to 673 6d, middling
62s to 655, and low 57s to 61s per cwt. Treacle is firm in
price and good request - boiled from West India Mo-
lasses at 19s to 193 6d. Patent 21s to 225, and Golden
Syrup 23s to 27s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—The supply at market this week has
been principally of brown, low yellow, and grey sorts,
which are not much wanted, and a decline in
prices of is to 2s per cwt has Milo place; mid-
dling good and fine yellow kinds, "however, have
sustained the former currency, and are in demand, but
few parcels are to be had privately. At auction, 1,631 bags
were disposed of, common brown at 40s to 425, middling
44s to 455, good 47s to 48s, fine 50s 6d, middling grey
521; a few lots of yellow went at 52s for low, 53s 6d
for middling, and 60s for good ; 2 casks of very low
brown were sold at 35s 6d per cwt ; there has been ono
arrival, and the stock is 7,502 bags more than it was last
year at this period.
BAST INDIA.—

Bengal Spgar,
or amounting bags, were brought
to public sale, 1,500

white in the sale.
FOREIGN.—In Brazil there has been only a limited
business transacted by private treaty, but importers sup-
ply the market sparing* : brown is held for the previ-
bus currency, but for white rather lower rates have been

accepted ; 22s having been taken for a floating
cargo of 730 chests of Bahia for Refining here
under bond, the buyer paying the landing charges.
Only 31 chests Pernambuco, all damaged, have been
offered at auction, which sold at 16s to 17s for low soft
yellow, and 15s to 15s 6d per cwt. for brown. Holders
of yellow Havannah have shown firmness, and refused
to sell but at full rates. White 26s to 275, middling and
good 28s to 30s, and fine 31s to 32s per cwt. Porto
Rico is held for the former currency.
MOLASSES.-West India are held with firmness, and
the market is not largely supplied : a parcel of good
Antigua has been sold at 24s per cwt. East India
cannot be purchased upon lower terms, but there is at
present not much demand : one cask of Madras in bond
at public sale was taken in at 7s 6d, and 17 hhds of Ben-
gal
Treacle at 21s per cwt, duty paid.
RICE.-For Java less demand has prevailed this week,
and former rates are barely supported. Middling white
rather broken at lOs to lOs 6d, good middling ditto
lOs 6d to 1 Is, and good bold 12s 6d ; sea damaged how-
ever all sold at es 6d to 9s 6d, ditto and repacked 5s to

and 13s fid to 18s per cwt for Patna. ..
COFFEE.-The market has been better supplied with
the superior sorts of Jamaica Coffee this week, and
which have met with ready purchasers for home con-
sumption, at fair but not at high rates. This afternoon
a brisker demand existed for Ceylon Coffee; and 979 bags
at public sale were all sold at former rates, real good ord
pale went at 525, fine ordinary ditto 53s to 545,
sea damaged 495, damaged in the country 51s 6d, Triage

For public sale on Tuesday 1,000 bags of Ceylon, nearly
all plantation ; 550 bales of Mocha ; and for Wednesday
70 casks of Jamaica Coffee are declared.

and none has been submitted to public competition. For
common sorts of Congou there has been a brisk demand
from speculators. Common has been selling at
10d to 100, good common 10Id to 10-i-d, but

425, old Patras 40s to 455, new Patras 48s to 50s; at the
latter prices sales have been made to-day : for old Mus-
catels there has been a good demand.
COCHINEAL.-Importers are still anxious sellers owing
to the continued large arrivals, and a further decline in
prices of Id per lb has taken place ; buyers have operated
with caution and of 157 bags Honduras at public sale
only two-thirds sold at 4s 2d to 4s 6d per lb for low to
good bold silvers.
SALTPETRE.-This afternoon the market was better
supplied with rough, and buyers wero less inclined to
do business: at public sale 224 bags of Madras, and 1,002
bags of Calcutta were offered, a part only found purchasers
at a decline on former rates of 6d for the better, and 6d to is
per cwt for low and mid qualities. Madras 64- per cent

21s; Calcutta, common sound grey 17 per cent refrac-
tion 235, good but inferior colour 6 per cent 265, fine
white 8i per cent 25s 6d to 265, and unrefracted 22s ;
Madras 64 per cent fine grey was taken in at 25s per cwt.
INDIGO.-To-day there was less business doing in East
India Indigo in consequence of the accounts being
highly favourable for the crop ; the general estimates
are 140,000 to 150,000 ; some parties estimate it as high
as 160,000 maunds; half the crop had been secured in ex-
cellent condition.
OILS.-There has been a large demand for Linseed
Oil this week,at 23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt on the spot,
and for forward delivery many purchases have been
made at similar rates ; the market is still well supplied
with Oil. Rape is not much wanted, and there are sellers
at 35s 6d to 36s for pale, and 34s 6d to 35s for brown.
For Cocoa Nut Oil 27s to 29s 6d per cwt is the value.
Palm 26s to 275. In Olive Oil there has been a good
business transacted-Gallipoli at 441 to 44/ 10s, Spanish
411 to 43/, and Barbary, &c. 401 to 401 lOs per tun.
For common sorts of Fish Oils there are very few export
orders, and the demand has been limited from the home
trade : holders have experienced difficulty in ob-
taining 351 to 3515 s for pale Seal, 33/ for Cod, and 27l
to 32110 s per tun for low to fine Southern. The stock
of Seal Oil is not above half of what it was last year at
this period. In Southern there is little difference ;
arrivals of Cod are near at hand. With Sperm 881 to
90/ per tun is the value of fine British.
TALLOW-Importers of Russian have been more
inclined to realise this week, in consequence of there
having been large arrivals, and accepted prices 3d to 6d
per cwt under those previously quoted. On the spot,
however, there has been a good business trans-
acted, at 40s 3d to 40s 6d for old, and at 40s 9d
to 41s per cwt for new Petersburgh yellow candle;
at these moderate rates some of the trade are inclined
to get well into stock. This afternoon at public sale
i 193 packages New South Wales Tallow were sold at
39s to 39s 6d, and 321 packages South American at
38s to 39s 6d per cwt.

left destitute by the late calamity now amount to 3,5381.
85. ad.:-_a large sum in appearance, but very small when
distributed among the various claimants, if it be applied
only to alleviate the forthcoming season, withont refe-
rence to ultimate provision.—/Newcastle Advertiser.
Contrary to the general apprehension in the early
part of the season, potatous have turned out a very abun-
dant crop in the county Tipperary.
