MARKET INTELLIGENCE,

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 28.)
Suomt.—To-day the market for West India Sugar
presented a flat appearance, the demand was limited for
the scale and pan; good and fine yellow, of which there
is still a scarcity, fetched the former value, but for all other
sorts the rates taken were rather under those previously
quoted. The total purchases are 300 hhds, and including
a public sale of 114 hhds of Barbadoes, which went off at
former prices for good to fine, but middling and low
must again be quoted 6d per cwt cheaper ; low sold at
52s to 53s 6d, middling 54s to 57s 6d, good middling
58s 6d to 59s 6d, good 60s to 61s 6d, and fine 66$ per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day there was no variation in the value
of Refined goods, but the home trade purchased with
much caution. Bonded Crushed Sugar is selling for
forward delivery at 30s to 30s 6d per cwt ; it is not so
much wanted as it was.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon at public sale two par-
cels amounting to 1,845 bags, were brought forward, and
sold at a decline on former rates of is per cwt ; middling
yellow went at 52s to 545, low 50s to 51s 6d, low brown
42s to 42s 6d. middling 43s 6d to 45s 6d per cwt.
CINNAMON.—The extensive public sales, which com-
menced yesterday, were brought to a conclusion at a
late hour this afternoon ; the demand was very li-
mited throughout, although there was an evident desire
on the part of merchants to realise ; the biddings were
unusually languid, and of the total quantity of-
fered, amounting to 3,524 bales 305 cases, not above a
third part were actually disposed of, at prices showing a
decline on those of the last quarterly sales of 4d to 7d
for firsts, 4d to 5d for seconds, and 3d to 4d for thirds.
Ceylon, first sort sound went at 3s Id to 4s Bd, broken
2s 10d to 3s, second sort sound 2s 2d to 3s Bd, broken
2s 4d to 2s 10d, third sort sound 2s to 35 4d, and broken
2s to 2s 6d per lb.
TEA.—Merchants aro firm, and with black and green
Tea the market is not over supplied. Congou has
brought fully former rates, and a brisker demand has
been experier cod ; common sound has been selling at
lld to Hid, and good common Hid to is per lb;
there is a scarcity of Tea worth front is 4d to
Is 9d per lb. For Pouchong there has been a
tively demand, and the rates paid show an advance
of Id to 2d per lb. Fine scented Orange Pekoe brought
an advance on former rates of Id to 2d per lb. In
Twankay a fair business has been a.
i.nsaeted, yellow
leaf is 3d to is aid per lb. Hyson is held with firm-
ness, but there is a pause in the demand; common is no
to be purchased under 2s 6d per lb. The supply is small o
all descriptions. Previous rates are fully supported for
Gunpowder and Imperial. Young Hyson is wanted at
former terms, but for Flowery Pekoe prices rule mode-
rate, and the same remark is applicable to Hyson skin.
To-day there was a good business transacted in nearly
every kind of black and green Tea ; the tendency of
prices is upwards. Sales of common Congou were made
at lld to 1 lid, good common Ilid to Is, and Twankay
ordinery is 3d to is 3id per lb.

quest, aid 781 bags at public sale wept id per lb under
former rates, viz., at 34d to 30, and inferior 2id to 3d
per lb.

36 per cent over, good 3s 10d to
