MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
From the London New Price Current of Sept. 24.)
SUGAR—Since Tuesday last there has been more
activity in the West India Sugar market, but importers
generally have been more inclined to realize. To-day
there was a good demand for colory and strong refining
sorts of West India Sugar, and the rates previously esta-
blished were- fully supported, but inferior qualities met
with a slow sale, and in some cases the prices accepted
were rather under those of Friday. The total purchases
are 460 hhds, including a public sale of 150 hhds Bar-
badoes, a soft parcel, which went heavily at a decline on
the rates of the last auction of 6d for the better, and Is
per cwt for low and middling sorts. Fine yellow said at
625, good middling 58s to 58s 6d, good 59s 6d to 61s,
middling 56s 6d to 57s 6J, low 55s 6d to 56s per cwt.
REFlNED.—Previous rates are well sustained for Re-
fined Sugar, and the demand has been lively from the
home trade ; the market is still sparingly supplied.
Brown Lumps for melting have been selling at 72s 6d ;
brown grocery 73s to 73s 6d ; standard Lumps
74s 6d to 75s ; Tittlers common to good 74s to
78s, fine ditto 79s to 83s ; Hambro Loaves 745 6d,
to 84s, double ditto 85s to 90s, and wet Lumps, 71s to
73s per cwt. The Grocers do not hold large stocks,
notwithstanding the immense quantity of Refined Sugar
purchased by them of late. Bastards in large parcels
have been disposed of, low to middling at 41s
to 475, good 48s to 525, and fine 53s to 57s per cwt.
To-day Refined Goods underwent no variation in the
value ; there was a good demand from the home trade,
and the market hss a firm appearance. Bonded Crushed
Sugar is much wanted, and there are not sellers under
27s 6d for first quality.
MAURITIUS.—The market has been much better sup-
plied, and prices haue declined 6d to is per cwt for grey,
brown, and common yellow qualities, of which the sup-
ply has principally consisted, but the better sorts of yel-
low brought fully former rates This afternoon there
was no public sale. By private contract bright yellow
sorts were wanted at firm rates, but inferior kinds were
not much sought after.
EAST INDIA.—IR the value of white or strong yellow
descriptions of Bengal Sugar no variation has taken
place since Tuesday last; a good business has been
transacted, but common yellow sorts have met with
a dull sale at a decline on former rates of Is per cat.
This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amount-
ing to 6,258 bags 9 chests, were brought to public sale ;
4,321 bags 9 chests of which consisted of date, of these
a small part only sold at • easier rates, and went at
51s 6d to 53s 6d for low and soft yellow, 54s 6d to
578 for mid, 50s to 55s for damp and washed, 62s 6d
to 65s for good and fine sound white, 60s for
bid, and 58s to 61s .6d for damp and washed ; other sorts
were all sold at stiff rates—very fine sound white fetched
68s to 69s 6d, fine 65s 6d to 675, good 62s to 63s 6d, low
and mid 59s to 60s, damp and washed 578 to 68s ed per
cwt. Manilla was in increased request privately, and the
sales since Friday are 5,000 bags, nearly all at 19s
per cwt.
FOREIGN.—There has been more activity in the foreign
Sugar market ; importers manifest firmness, and none of
any description has been brought to public sale. For
yellow Havannah there has been a much better
demand, and a large business has been trans-
acted at prices rather above those of last Tuesday.
This afternoon -there seta no public sale of Foreign
Sugar ; by private contract several transactions were
prevented by importers asking rather higher rates ; the
market has a firm appearance.
MOLASSES.—West India was rather cheaper, but the
purchases made have been extensive, amounting to 450
puns at 20s to 54s per cwt for low to good quality; there
have been further arrivals. East India dull sale at 14s
to 16s per Cat.
COCOA.—West India has been sought after, and full
rates offered, but there is little on offer in the private
market, and none has been brought to public sale ; prices
have a firm appearance. Foreign has been sought after,
and the parcels sold were at firm rates.
COFFEE.—Although importers of West India have
been more inclined to sell, and submitted to a reduction
on previous rates of 2s per cwt, still the trade have ope-
rated with much caution, and the quantity brought for-
ward has proved more than sufficient for their necessi-
ties. The public sales went off with heaviness, Jamaica
good middling at 955, middling 82s to 85s, low middling
75s to 80s, fine ordinary 63s to 725, fine ordinary 59s to
61s 6d, good ordinary 54s to 58s, ordinary 50s to
525, and triage 31s to 48s per cwt. East India
has not been much inquired for by shippers or the home
trade, still holders show firmness, and supply the market
sparingly. Ceylon, at auction good ordinary pale at 575,
low middling bold palish coloury Plantation kind 755,
fine ordinary bold pale coloury 66s to 675, pea berry
80s, and triage 50s per cwt, being the former worth, and
merchants are not inclined to press sales, although
there is a great increase in the stock as compared with
that of last year, and prices much higher than they were
at that period. Of Bengal 28 bags at 4d per lb were of at auction, sound was taken in at 57s for pale,
rather broken, sea damaged, however, sold at 51s 6d,
ditto and repacked 45s per cwt. Of other East India
sorts none has been brought to public sale, and the busi-
ness transacted privately has been extremely limited.
This afternoon there, was no public sale of any descrips
tion of Coffee, and the purchases made privately were
extremely limited in all sorts ; Ceylon of good ordinary
quality, however, could not generally be obtained under
57s per cwt. Mocha could only be disposed of on lower
terms. Of Foreign Coffee some parcels are offering at
easier terms.

TEA—lmporters are more inclined to realize, and
several parcels have suddenly been declared for public
competition. To-day 1,016 pkgs of Assam Tea were
offered at public sale, :aid nearly all di,posed ,f Con-
goll at 10d to 2s 9d, chiefly at is to is 7d. Souehong
fetched 2s to 3s ld, low 103 d, and Pekoe 2s 4:id to 3s
lid per lb. In the private market there was little busi-
ness done in any sort. The trade waiting for the auc-
tions of 10,000 pkgs, declared for to-morrow.
