MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 31.)
SUGAR.—To-day the improved rates previously established
were fully supported for all sorts of British Plantation Sugar,
and a fair business was transacted, 400 hhds, &c., finding
buyers, making the total sales for the week 2,260 hhds and
tierces. Some of the brokers have scarcely any Sugar on show.
REFINRD.—To-day Refined goods were purchased freely by
the home trade, and higher rates were paid, brown grocery
lumps selling at 64s to 655, and standard lumps 65s 6d to 66a
per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale, and offered
at 36s per cwt for the best.
MAURITIUS.—An increased desire has been manifested to
purchase, and for all descriptions there has been a very good
demand for the scale and pan; the rates given are
fully equal to those previously quoted, and merchants
refrain from largely suppll ing the markets although
the stock still exhibits an increase over that of last year.
At public sale 5,343 bags were all disposed of, fine yellow at
b3s 6d, good 52s 6d, good middling 51s 6d, middling
49s 6d to 51s, low 46s to 48s, fine brown 45,, middling 425,
middling to good grey 46s to 51s, washed 43s to 51s 6d, and
syruppy 38s 6d to 47s 6d per cwt. By private contract some
parcels were disposed of at similar rates • a larger quantity
would have found purchasers had it been Offered for sale.
EAST INDlA.—lhis afternoon Bengal Sugar was in brisk
demand, and the parcels offered at public sale were all sold,
viz., 3,161 bags at full rates; very fine white brought 60s to
61s, fine 57s 6d to 58s ; good 55s 6d, middling 54s 6d to 555,
low 53s to 51s, middling yellow not grainy 51s 6d to 52s
6d ; good strong Mauritius sort 52s 6d to 53. 6d, middling
50s to 525, low 455 6d, damp of the various sorts 53s to 61s,
inferoir 4-1 s to 50s, washed 42s to 50s. Sugar drainage
damaged 50s to 525, good damp brown 41s, middling 38s, and
low washed 365.

MOLASSES. —For West India the demand has been brisk,
and stiffer rates have been paid for all descriptions. The
total purchases amount to 600 puns, Antigua fine 24i to 255,
Demerara low old 20s, Dominica 225, and St. Vincents 21s.
At auction 71 Ms and 80 tuns of Mauritius were sold at 17s
to 18s per cwt. The stock of Molasses in first hands is much
reduced. Bengal syrup is much wanted. For Honey prices
are on the rise.

FRUIT.—Of new Chesme Raisins, the first cargo arrived,
there is no disposition to purchase, the prices required being
considered too high in proportion to the value of new
Valencias, the best parcels being sold at 40s, and a Fret
proportion already arrived being much out of condition,
have been forced off at public sale from 38s to 365.
Of . new Patras Currants two cargoes have arrived,
and arc in the market at 50s, but the grocers purchase very
cautiously, expecting large arrivali. The low prices at
which the new Turkey Pulled Figs have been forced off, in
consequence of the great proportion of the recent arrivals
being of a very inferior quality, has caused a very extensive
demand. For new Sultanas there is very little demand at the
present high prices, nearly the whole of the stock on hand
being in one importer's hand; further arrivals are daily ex-.
pected. In old Fruit little doing.
FOREIGN. —This afternoon there was no public sale of
Foreign, and the private sales for the week are 40 chests of
very tine yellow Havannah at 31s, and 70 chests of middling
white Bahia at 27s per cwt.
COFFEF--This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was purchased
with increased freedom, and 1,646 bags at public sale were all
sold at an advance on former rates of 6d to Is per cwt, and
went as follows :—Middling pale 75s 6d, fine fine ordinary
60s, fine ordinary 555 6d to 575, good ordinary 53s to 575,
fine fine ordinary grey Demerara sort 674 6d, fine ordinary
57s to 61s 6d, pea berry 65s to 68s 6d, superior
765, sea damaged of the various sorts 37s to 625,
country damaged 46s Gd to 60s Gd, triage 42s to 445, low 18s,
and broken 36s to 36s 6d. Of Padang 161 bags sold at 23s
to 23s 6d for good ordinary brown, which is the full value.
For Singapore Java the demand was limited, and 578 bags at
auction were taken in at 37s for good ordinary pale rather
mixed with blacks, being above the N aloe. Of Costa Rica
the large quantity of 5,048 bags were offered at public sale;
the sound was nearly all taken in at stiff rates; and Oil
damaged 31s to 41s 6d per cwt.
Cocoa.—lmporters of British Plantation submitting to
rather lower rates, caused the trade to operate more freely,
and at public sale 474 bags of Trinidad were all sold; middling
bright red at 43s to 445, middling grey 39s to 40s, low 38s 6d
to 39., and sea-damaged 365. In Foreign there has not been
much doing.
TEA.—There has been more activity in the market this
week. Holders have shown firmness, and refrair.ed from
offering any at public sale. Prices are firmer for black,
but any improvement in the value of green is
prevented by the heavy stock. The deliveries of
Tea keep very satisfactory, and for this year up to last Sa-
turday amounted to 20,569,455 for home consumption at this
port, 4,494,162 at Liverpool, 707,330 at Bristol, and 319,046
at Hull, making the total quantity 26,119,992 lbs, against
25,342,829 lbs to the same period in 1844.
IlicE.—To-day Bengal Rice was wanted, but further ad-
vanced rates being asked checked business, and 1,400 bags at
public sale were nearly all taken in. -
SPIRITS.—There has been less demand f x Jamaica Rum
this week, but holders are firm, and have obtained fully pre-
vious rates for every description,and the quantity on show has
become small. Leeward Island is, however, much in de-
mand, and owing to the short supply fetched stiff rates.
In Demerara a fair amount'of business has been transacted
at 2s 10d to 3s 3d for strong qualities. Calcutta is wanted at
is Ild to 2s proof with certificate, but the market is still
scantily supplied. The market has a firm appearance for
Brandy, and a fair demand exists. The accounts come to hand
from France state that the quantity made this year would
be much under that of former seasons, and the quality very
indifferent. Geneva has been sold to a fair extent for ex-
portation at 2s 2d to 2s 3d, fine for home consumption being
2s 7d to 2a 10d. The market is very firm for British Corn
Spirits at lOs 6d per gallon, nett cash. Gin at 8s 10d for 22,
and at 9s 4d for 17 per cent under proof.

casks at auction were sold at ss6d for common limed, at the
high rate of duty.
CirixAmox.—lhe good and fire descriptions of Ceylon
were in excellent demand at the quarterly sales, and the
quantity brought forward being small merchants were en-
abled generally to obtain an advance on the rates of the last
auctions of ld to 3d per Ib, inferior kinds, of which the supply
was abundant, were, however, purchased with much caution,
although there were sellers at reduced rates.
INDico.—The purchases made in East Indiahave been ex-
tremely limited since the termination of the last quarterly
sales ; good and fine sorts of Bengal are held for the rates
of that period, but the lower kinds may be had upon easier
terms. _

and middling, went at 281 to 311; 75 pipes 30 hhds Cochin,
Sood and fine, 331 to 331 158. Sperm went at full rates.

of 34 to 6d per cwt 4 per ct refraction.
