MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(Front the London New Price Current of Tueaday.)

SUGAR.,--,-The Sugar Market was apparently heavy
last week, but ou estimating the total sales they
were found to exceed 2,200 hlidS., it w►ts thertl'ore
Concluded that as many of these purchases were made
privately, that the holders had given way a little in
the price to facilitate sales. The comparative Stock
of Sugar has increased this week; it is 3,117 hhda.
a►►d trs. more than in 1827. The deliveries continue
extensive, 3,035 libds. and trs., being 455 hhds. and
trs. more than in the same week of 1827. At the
close of the market the estimated sales this day, in-
cluding the Barbadoes Sugar, were 400 hhds.; the
prices are the same as last week. The Refined
Market last week was rather dull, and the prices
were about Is. per cwt. lower. The Refined Mar-
ket this afternoon is still in a very languid state.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—There were no transactions in
Foreign Sugar last week.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The public sale of about
1,900 bags Mauritius Sugars last week went off with
briskness, and the whole would have sold, but the
holders appeared to expect a further advance, and
took some part in; the Sugars sold went at the full
market prices.

WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There were no sales
last week.

COFFEE.—There were no publics sales of Coffee
last week, except about 80 casks Berbice, which
sold at very high prices, being in great demand for
home consumption, fine niid. 80s. a 83s. The de-
mand for Coffee by private contract was very languid,
and it was stated that some parcels of Cheribon,
bought twe weeks previou,ly, offered at a reduction
of ls. a 28., and a parcel of good ord. St. Domingo
sold at 365. There was only one public sale this
afternoon, 77 casks 317 bags Demerara and Berbice
descriptions; good mid. 81s., mid. 745. The whole
went off at full prices, but generally the market is
very dull._

Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.--.The purchases
of Rum lately are quite inconsiderable, they are con-
fined to parcels of five and ten puncheons, chiefly
Leewards free on board; the quotations of Rum
must, in consequence, be considered nominal. The
sales of Brandy are confined to small export parcels ;
the market is dull, but the prices are supported. In
Geneva no purchases are reported.

HEmr, FLAX, AND TALLow. .—The Tallow market
has been rather heavy and declining. Hemp is
lower, in Flax no material alteration. The letters
from St. Petershurgh are dated 15th ultimo. Ex-
change 10d. 15 32. '1 allow 98, contract. Winter
commenced; five ships left; bridge removed.

COTTON.—The Cotton market remains dull. The
sales for the week, ending last night inclusive, are
trivial, with the exception of 600 bags Bengal sold
yesterday, at the average juices of the last India
House sales.

IRISH PROVISIONS..—There are few transactions
in Beef or Polk, the Market prices are unvaried.
Butters were lower last week on account of the
open weather; but there is since a great alteration.
Arrivals of Butter 8,697 firkins Irish, 3,455 casks
foreign. Arrivals of Bacon 1,790 bales.
FRUIT.--There is an improving demand for Fruit,
particularly for new Currants. The new Turkey
Figs yet offered for sale are so indifferent in quality,
that the trade only purchase small parcels for. imme-
diate use. New Sultana Raisins have sold freely at
705.; the new Carabourna at 485., Red Smyrna at
475., but parcels are now offering Is. lower. This
day 100 butts 19 carroteds New Currants, part

ditto, at 465.

HOPS.—In the Hop trade there is no material al,
'eration ; the duty being stated at 172,0271. 10s,
l Id. has produced no alteration.

INDlGO.—lndigo has been very dull, and some in-
considerable sales are reported at the late India
House sale prices. It is a remarkable circumstance
that 11,000 chests should sell freely, and afterwards
realke.a premium of 4d. a 6d. per lb., and yet that
inconsiderable holders of 200 and 300 chests should
hare the sway in reducing the rates to sale prices,
and make the Market apparently so heavy that it
might go still lower, and that this effect could be
produced by holders of so inconsiderable parcels of
Indigo. By public sale this forenoon 25 chests
Oude Indigo from the United States, and liable to
double duty, sold fully higher than anticipated
2s. 4d. a 3s. Id.

ToßAcco.—The only purchases reported last
week were parcels for Ireland. A cargo of Ken-

dearer than last sale; the large chests much as at
September sale. This morning the sale of Congous
commenced, only a small part yet sold : Congotif
common, 2s. 2id. a 2s. but middling 2s. 31d.
