MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of June 18.)
SUGAR.—To-day a large business was transacted in all de-
scriptions of West India Sugar, but merchants were com-
pelled to submit to a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt ;
the private purchases amounted to 700 hhds and tree. The pro-
position to reduce the duty on Colonial Sugar to 20s, and on Fo-
reign free labour to 34s on clayed, and 30s on unclayed and
5 per cent. which was carried on Friday evening in the House
of Commons, was last evening rejected by the Government,
and the duties originally proposed by them are to remain the
same. This has produced a greater desire on the part of
holders of Colonial Sugar to sell.
REFINED.—To-day the home trade purchased Refined Sugar
morerfreely, but no improvement in prices can be quoted;
brown Lumps selling at 755, and standard Lumps 76s per
cwt. The market is quiet for bonded Crushed Sugar at
25s 6d to 25s 9d per cwt.
MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon the trade evinced little incli-
nation to do business, and a small part only was disposed of,
but merchants would not give way in price—fine yellow
fetched 63s to 655, good 60s to 62s 6d, middling 58s to 59s 6d,
low 56s 6d to 57s 6d ; middling brown 52s to 535, good to fine
54s 6d to 55s 6d, middling to fine grey 57s 6d to 61s, and low

Russia, at 30s 6d per cwt.
