MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 10.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were for
the most part inclined to realise, but submitting to lower rates,
and making the decline for the week Gd to is per cwt, occa-
sioned the demand to be fair. In all 500 were sold to-day,
making the total sales for the week 2,250 hhds and tieres.
REFINED-...T0. day G4s to 65s were the rates taken for
brown grocery, and 66s for standard lumps, but upon these
these terms a frir business was done. The market is quiet
for bc.nded Crushed Sugar, and :38s Od to 39s per cwt is the
rate of first quality.
MAURITIUS.—F, r stron refining and bright grocery quali-
ties, a good demand has existed, and the rates are on a par
with those of this day week, but all inferior and brown sorts,
of which the supply chiefly consists, have been purchased
with caution, and a decline in pi ices of is to 2s has taken
place. _ _

FOREIGN.—The market having been sparingly supplied
with all descriptions of Foreign Sugar this week, any mate-
rial decline in pricee has been prevented, but there is o want
of demand, and stocks are accumulating. Altho%gii white
and brown Brazil may be purchased privately at a furi,ner
reduction in prices, still very little business has been trans-
acted by Exporters or our Refiners working under bond.
In other sorts of Foreign there has been very little business
transacted, and former rates are not obtainable.
MOLASSES.—Prices continue firm for West India, and sales
to a fair extent have been made. A strong desire has been
shown to purchace Bengal Treacle for present and forward
ddlivery, and pikes have advanced to 19s to 20s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with
attention, and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting
to 3,843 bags, were principally sold at full rates.
COFTE.—This afternoon a large parcel of Plantation
Ceylon was submitted to public competition, and nearly the
whole sold, but prices ruled irregular; on the whole, how-
ever, they were equal to those previously qnoted.
TEA.—There has been a falling off in the demand for Black
and Green this week, in consequence of public sales to the
extent of 22,000 packages being announced for Tuesday
next ; but in the value little variation has occurred, al-
though
there are further arrivals.

•Cocon.—The stock of West Ind!a having accumulated
considerabls, of late, a stronger desire has been shown by
some parties to realise this week, and the limited business
transacted has been at a decline on former rates of 2s per cwt.
SPICES. —This afternoon Nutmegs were in excellent re-
quest, and 14 cases at auction were sold at rather higher
rates. Of Mace the supply is on the iucrease—at auction,
however, 18 cases were offered, and all sold at the full value.
White Pepper was purchased with caution, and 325 bp at
auction were all taken in at 5d for mid. and 6d fur good mid
quality. Of Malabar 1,001 bags were all sold at the full value,
and brought 5%d for heavy bright clean brown; 183 barrels of
Jamaica Ginger fetched 31 7d to 718 s for good and fine.
With Cassia Lignea the market was abundantly supplied ;
two parcels amounting to 3,640 cheats were submitLd to
public competion; buyers were desirous to purchase, and it

sold with much spirit at an advance on former rates at .14
to sf. and
RlCE.—This afternoon Bengal Rice was sought after, ood
961 bags at auction sold rather a]ove the former value— first
mid white at 19s 6d to 20s, mid 18s Cd, sca damaged! 71i
class 18s to 18s 6d, seconn class 17s, third class 148, t°llr
and fifth class lOs 6d to Ils, sugar damaged 17s per cwt.sa cted
Srmas.—There has been an extensive business tranrto
in every description of Jamaica Rum this week by W°LOOO
and the home trade; the sale amount to
puns, at a further advance in prices of Id to 2d acd
gallon. Leeward Island has been in excellent request,
brought stiffer rates; the quantity sold has been 20°

INDIGo.—To-day, at the quarterly sales, oxporterst
the home trade were cautious in their proceedings, ba
.tity
perters continue to show firmness. Of the total quabreo
passed the sales this afternoon, amounting to 6,99,3,' ly
