MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 10.)
SUGAR—T„-day the business transacted in all de-
scriptions of West India Sugar was limited, and the
rates accepted were rather under those previously quoted
for brown and inferior sorts, but good and fine yellow
are still fetching full prices on account of the
short supply at market. A public sale of 96 hhds
4 tres of Barbadoes went off quietly at a decline in
prices of 6d for low and middling, but good and fine
sustained the former currency ; tine yellow fetched 64s
to 66s 6d, good 61s to 61s 6d, good middling 59s to
60s 6d, middling 55s 6d to 58s 6d, and low heavy 53s to
54s per cwt. The total quantity of Sugar disposed of
amounted to only 350 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-clay Refined goods were taken spa-
ringly by the trade ; brown lumps at 71s, and standard
lumps 72s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is 29s 6d
to 30s per cwt ; there are extensive purchasers rather
under these rates for forward delivery, but no sellers are
to be met with.

MAURITIUS.-The market has presented a firm ap-
pearance for this description of Sugar, and nearly the
whole of 3,436 bags at public sale were taken in at easy
rates, good mid yellow at 58s to 583 6d, mid 56s to 575,
low 52s to 545, good and fine brown 50s to 51s 6d,
mid 48s to 495, low 455, and common to mid grey 52s
to 55s per cwt. The stock is on the increase, and the
consumption is beginning to be interfered with by the
low mid and mid grey and yellow qualities of Bengal
Sugar.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon at public sale 1,778 bags
of Bengal Sugar were offered, 916 of which consisted of
damp brown, a very small part only of which found pur-
chasers at 42s to 435, and inferior 41s 6d ; the remainder
consisted of yellow, and was all sold, but upon rather
lower terms, viz., fine at 61s 6d, good 58s to 60s,
middling 55s 6d to 56s 6d, damp and washed 50s
to 61e. Of Manilla 1,323 bags at public sale were
taken in above the value, ordinary grey at 19s, middling
20s to 21s, damp and washed 18s 6d to 19s 6d, damp
white 26s per cwt.
FOREIGN.-This afternoon the market was better
supplied with Foreign Sugar-at public sale 549 chests
176 brls of Rio, and 1,695 boxes of Havannah were
offered, the former of sound quality was taken in at the
previous value-fine brown at 19s to 19s 6d, good
18s to 183 6d, middling 17s to 17s 6d, low
16e 6d ; the damaged, amounting to 220 pkgs, were
sold at rather lower rates, and went at 16s to 18s
for ordinary to fine quality. Of the Havannah 607 boxes
consisted of white, and were taken in at the full value,
flee at 30s, good 295, middling 27s to 28s, and low 27s ;
three lots of damaged were however sold at 26s to 28s 6d,
the yellow of sound quality was taken in at the full
worth, fine at 22s 6d, good 21s to 21s 6d, low to mid
19s 6d to 20s 6d, a few lots damaged were disposed of at
18s 6d to 21s per cwt, being cheaper.
MOLASSES.-There has been a good demand for West
India, and previous rates are supported, the total quan-
tity disposed of his amounted to 350 puns since this day
week; Trinidad fine at 22s Gd to 24s 6d; St. Kitt's and
St. Vincent's 21s to 21s 6d per cwt. Holders show firm-
ness, and the stock is on the decrease. In East India
the transactions are upon a more extended scale, at 14s
to 17s per cwt.
Cocoa.-Foreign is wanted, but there is still little in
the market, and 30s to 33s per cwt is the value. Prices
are firm for West India, and there are several purchasers,
but the supply is not sufficient for the wants of the
trade; none has been offered at auction, the stock is
rather less than it was last year at this period. This
afternoon at public sale 78 bags of Cocoa shells from
Dunkirk were sold at 15s to les per cwt.
COFFEE.-This afternoon at public sale 130 casks 257
brls and 787 bags of Rio Coffee were offered ; the sound
was all taken in at moderate rates, low middling colory
British Plantation kind at 48s to 525, fine fine ord 42s to
455, good and fine ord 27s to 295, ord 26s ; the sea da-
maged, of which the bulk consisted, was however all
disposed of, but at comparatively low prices, 1-t
class went at 25s 6d to 31s 6d, 2d class
24s to 28s 6d, 3d class 21s to 24s 6d, Sugar
drainage damaged 13s to 31s, sea damaged and repacked
20s to 295, sweepings 18s 6d to 21s 6d. Ceylon moved
off slowly by private contract, and at public sale 149
bags were sold at a decline on former rates of is per
cwt, good ord went at 51s, and one lot of very good ord
535, sea damaged pea berry 70s. Of Mocha 32 bales
were taken in at 65s for low mid mixed greenish, being
above the value. 36 bags of Singapore Java were
bought in at 45s for fine ord, being above the worth.
TEA.-We have still to report a firm market for Tea
of all descriptions, and again none has been offered at
auction. Congou has been in very good demand here
since Tuesday last, and full rates have been paid, espe-
cially for the common and best descriptions ; ordinary
sound has been fetching lOid to 11d, good ordinary
Hid to Is, but mid and mid blackish leaf is is id

vour is 8d to 2s ed per lb. Pouchong at sid to is per lb.

sorts are fetching stiff rates, brightish lest is 4d to

is fetching is 9d to 2s 6d for ordinary and good ordi-
nary, and 2s 8d to 3s 6d for middling. and good. Gun-
powder at 2s Gd to 3s 6d, and superior 3s 8d to 4s 6d.

Leaf and Flowery Pekoe the transactions are upon a
more extended scale upon former terms. Hyson Skin
at is to Is 6d per lb. To-day prices underwent no varia-
tion for Tea, but there was less business doing on account
of public sales to the extent of 22,000 pkgs being sud-
denly declared for Thursday.
SPICES.-This afternoon two parcels of Nutmegs,
amounting to 50 packages, were offered at public sale
and went at a decline on former rates of 2d to 3d. Sin-
gapore brown went at 3s 3d to 3s 9d, good and fine 3s
10d to 4s 3d, limed 2s ed to 2s 9d ; Penang brown
3s 5d to 3s 6d, mouldy went at 3s 4d, worm-eaten
Is to is sd. Of Mace 14 packages were only partly
sold at 2s 6d to 2s 9d for middling, and better quality at
3s to 3s 2d, being much cheaper. Of Cloves 4 eases
Benchoolen were sold at 2s Id. Pimento met with little
attention, and 80 bags at auction were taken at 4id to
4d for good middling quality, being above the value.
Pepper was little inquired for-268 begs of Sumatra at
auction were sold at 2-4-d to 2id for common light stalky
and dusty, being barely_former rates.
Rust, BRANDY, AND tiOLLANDS.-Prices have declined
Id to Id per gallon for Leeward Island Rum, bat a good
business has been transacted, 450 puns having been dis-
posed of at 2s 30 to 2s 4d per gallon, proof strength
Jamaica, at rather lower rates-3s 8d to 4s 2d is the
value of 28 to 35 per cent. overproof, and 4s 3d to
6s per gallon for fine and superior qualities; Calcutta
not so firm, 2s 2id to 2s 3d having been accepted
for some parcels. Demerara upon easier terms,
2s Id having been accepted for 32 per cent overproof,
and 3s 2d to 3s 5d for superior qualities. Brandy of
common quality is still little wanted, and prices are
going down, but for the best sorts there has been a lively
demand. Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838,
hhds 5s 2d, puns ss; do, 1839, hhds 4s lid, puns 4s 9d;
do, 1840, hhds 4s l Id, puns 4s 9d; do, 1841, hhds 4s

nett cash. To-day Rum met with little attention; proof
Leewards are 2s 3id, Calcutta 2s 2d, and to arrive
Is lid to 2s. Jamaica is dull of sale and prices are
drooping; 3s 7d to 4a 4d is the value of ord to good
quality.
FRUIT.-For Currants prices rule firm, and numerous
parcels have been disposed of ; Patras new at 49s to 50s,
old 45s to 465, Zante and Cephalonia old 445, and new
47s per cwt. In Raisins of all descriptions numerous
purchases have been made ; Valentias at 50s, Denis 40s,
Lexie, 38s, Smyrna black 41s, red 45s to 475, Eleme
48s to 50s, Sultana 60s, Muscatels 55s to 100 s. Turkey
pulled Figs are 45s to 75s per cwt. This afternoon at
public sale 8,470 drums of Turkey Figs were sold at
50s to 758. per cwt.
RICE.-Previous improved rates are fully supported
for Bengal, and it is much wanted, but business has been
restricted by private contract in consequence of the
scanty supply at market; low white has been fetching lOs
6d to lls, mid Ils 3d to Its 9d, and good to fine 12s to
12s 6d per cwt. To-day Bengal Rice met with ready
purchasers, and prices are still on the advance, mid white
fetching Its 6d to 12s per cwt.
SALTPETRE.-To-day rough was inquired for, but
stiffer rates being required operated against business, and
400 bags of Calcutta at public sale were taken in at 25s
for common damp grey 12i to 111 per cent. refraction,
being Is per cwt above the value.
CocuiNEAL.-There has been a considerable increase
in the demand since we last wrote, and an advance in
prices of Id has occurred.
OILS.-The demand has increased for all descriptions
of common Fish Oils, and a good business has been
transacted at 341 to 341 103 for pale Seal. 301 to 331 for
yellow and straw, 291 to 291 lOs for brown, and at 291 to
341 for cons to fine Southern. Cod at 311311 101 per tun.
Sperm has been taken sparingly, and holders experience
difficulty in obtaining 871 to 901 per tun for British.
Linseed Oil at the low rates of 22s 6d to 23a 9d per ewt
on the spot, and for forward delivery many contracts
have been entered into. For Rape 34s 6d to 3.5 s ac-
cepted for pale, and 33s 6d to 34s per cwt for brown ;
