MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 13.)
Scroaa.-The rates previously established- far brown,
common yellow, and grey descriptions of West India
Muscovado Sugar of which the supply principally con-
sists, have been fully supported this week ; middling
yellow, good middling to good yellow, and strong grey
sorts however have brought an advance on last
Friday's prices of 6d, and in some instances
of is per cwt; but for fine yellow kinds, although they
are in very short supply, yet merchants have not beer
able to obtain quotations above those of last week, still pre-
vious rates are fully sustained. This afternoon there was a
good demand for all sorts of West India Sugar, holders were
firm and obtained fully former rates for all descriptions.
At public sale 288 hhds 55 tierces and 126 barrels St.
Lucia were offered and partly at former terms, good
yellow fetched 57s to 58s, middling 55s to 56s 6d, low
545, and drainage damaged 55s 6d to 56s 6d per cwt.
The total purchases for the week are 2,200 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.-The home trade have been extensive pur-
chasers of Refined Goods this week, paying an advance
on former rates of 6d to is per cwt, and they have again
nearly cleared the market, indeed of goods at and under
75s per cwt the market is scantily supplied, the following
are the latest rates paid :-Brown lumps 73s to 73s 6d,
standard lumps 74s 6d to 755, Tittlers 735 6d to 78s, fine
do 79s to 83s, Hambro loaves 74s to 83s, double ditto 84s
to 90s, and wet lumps 71s to 73s per cwt : the market
has still a very firm appearance. For Bastards prices
generally are not higher, but large parcels have been
sold, low at 42s to 455, middling at 46s to 48s, good 49s
to 535, and fine 54s to 57s per cwt. Pieces have been
readily disposed of, fine at 69s to 71s, good 66s to
68s 6d, middling 62s to 655, and low 58s to 61s per cwt.
Treacle has met with a good demand at stiffer rates ;
boiled from West India Molasses has been fetching
18s 6d to 19s 6d, Patent 205 to 225, and Golden
Syrup 235 to 26s per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar
prices are not so firm, and for 100 tons on the spot 27s
to 27s 3d per cwt have been accepted for first quality ;
there has been less Isusiness transacted for delivery, and
the Refiners are generally more inclined to sell ; of
loaves, however, many parcels have been disposed of
upon the following terms, viz :-Turkey double refined
2a to 41b loaves 34s to 375, Hambro' I6lbs 32s 6d, 9 to
101 b 30s to 30s 6d, 13 to 141 b 295 6d, Tittlers

brown 19s. In Treacle sales made at Ils 6d to 12s. Of
Dutch Crushed Sugar some parcels sold at 24s 9d to 26s
per cwt. To-day large purchases were made in Refined
goods by the home trade, and prices are still on the ad-
vance-sales made at 75s for standard, and 73s 6d per
cwt for good brown lumps. The decline in the value of
Bonded Crushed Sugar has occasioned a better demand,
and at 27s to 27s 3d per cwt large purchases have been
made for forward delivery.
MAURITIUS.-The market has presented a firm ap-
pearance for this description of Sugar, importers have
refrained from offering any at auction, but by private
treaty several parcels have been disposed of at former
rates for brown, and at higher prices for yellow kinds,
nearly all the parcels on offer found free purchasers.
The principal part in the bonded warehouses is held by
the dealers, the stock is still declining, and is rather less
than it was last at this period ; th© deliveries continue
upon a large scale. This afternoon there was no public
sale, but the parcels sold privately were at very full
rates. •The quantity left in importers hands is only
10,000 bags.
EAST INDIA.-An increased desire has been shown to
purchase white and yellow qualities of Bengal Sugar,
and privately many parcels have been disposed of at
prices showing an advance on those of this day week
of is per cwt. This afternoon at public sale
821 bags of Bengal, and 499 bags of Madras were
offered, the former sold at high rates, and fetched
62s to 70s for fine strong yellow Dobah, 66s to 68s 6d
for good 64s to 68s per cwt for damp and washed, 58s to
59s for low yellowish white, 56s to 58s per cwt for damp
and washed, 63s for good sound white, and 60s to 62s
for damp and washed: the latter was all taken in, low
brown at 465, and very low heavy dark at 42s per cwt,
being above the value.
Fonmors.-For yellow Havannah many inquiries
have prevailed, and late rates offered, but merchants re-
quiring an advance in prices, has operated against busi•
ness, and 2,011 boxes at public sale were all taken in,
fine at 22s to 22s 6d, good 21s to 21s 6d, middling 20s
to 26s 6d, low 195 to 19s 6d, being above the value.

ing 29s to 325, and low to middling 26s to 28s per cwt.

creased demand ; Bahia, 200 chests of white at 22s 6d,

out certificate, went at 20s for hhds, and 19s per cwt for
barrels. Porto Rico 193 to 20s per cwt.
MOLASSES.-Prices cannot be quoted lower for West
India, importers not being inclined to press safes, but
the demand has been trifling; small parcels have been
disposed of at 22s for St. Vincent's, and at 24s per cwt
for good Antigua. East India dull of sale, and prices
rule low. This afternoon at public sale 130 casks Madras
Molasses were taken in at 16s per cwt.
Cocoa.-West India is wanted, but higher rates being
required, has opereted against business, and few parcels
have been disposed of by private contract ; at auction
101 bags of Trinidad were taken in-ordinary at 425,
and middling 44s to 45s 6d per cwt. The stock in im-
porters hatids is reduced to a low ebb. Foreign is held
with firmness, but at present there are not many pur-
chasers.

FarlT..—Today accounts were received from Zante
up to the 29th of August, stating that the Currant crop
had been .all housed, the quality was fine, and the quan-
tity large. The trade have purchased with much caution
this week, and lower rates accepted for all sorts.
Comas.--Importers of West India are less inclined to
realise, and have supplied the market sparingly during
the week. Jamaica of mid quality has been more sought
after, and sales made by private treaty at 83e to 90s per
cwt, being rather above the rates paid at the auctions
held last week. This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was
sought after, but not much was to be had, and prices
are still on the advance ; sales by private contract were
made at 57s to 58s for good ord, and 58s 6d to 59s for
very good ord : at public sale 120 bags of Plantation
were taken in at 70s for fine ord pale being much above
the value ; 16 casks 2 brls West India were bought in
at 78s 6d for low mid Jamaica, 63s for fine ord;

frained from submitting any to public competition; there
has been no arrival this week, whereas the deliveries
from the bonded warehouses have been large. For
green Tea prices are higher than they were last season
at this period, but are rather lower for black. The
lower qualities of Congou are not so much in request,
but holders are firm, the supply small, and previous
rates are sustained, common fetching laid to I Id nett

been done: during the week.
