MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SITOAIL.—The Sugar Market had a very languid ap-
pearance ail last week, and apparently very few sales were
effected; but on investigation it was ascertained the pur-
chases were nearly 2,400 Ws. and tierces, a large
proportion being sold privately at rather lower prices, the
particulars not transpiring till towards the close of the
week. The stock of West India Museovades is now 2,477
more than last year ; the delivery last week, 3,234 hhds.
and tcs., being 647 less than on the corre.ponding week
of 1828. At the close of the Market the estimated sales
this day were trivial, as the trade waited the event of the
public sale; it consisted of 376 hhd.., 45 tcs., 41 brls.
St. Lucia Sugars, the latter sold heavily, and at prices
rather under the Market current rates; dabs of old import
40e. a 445., dry brown 475. a 485.; the remainder 495.
a 575. In Refined Goods there has been little variation.
The demand for low descriptions has been limited, yet
such is the reduced state of the stock that several parcels
sold rather above the quoted price. In fine goods there
were few sales. Molasses steady.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—The public sale of Mauritius
last week, 4,844 bags, sold generally at a farther reduction
_a 6d. to Is. per cwt. ; the good supported nearly the for-
mer currency.

Fo IL El ON 'S
G AR. —The purchases last week were par-
cels of very fine white Havannah at 488. ; 600 chests
yellow, the price of the latter did not transpire ; parcels of
fine white Pernams at 40s. and 39a., mid. to good 345. 6d.
a 365.

WEST INDIA MOLA SSES. —The purchases reported are
inconsiderable; the prices are unvaried.
COFFEE.--The Jamaica Coffee sold freely last week,
and at full prices, with the exception of some parcels of
fine ord., which sold at a small reduction. The Domi-
nica sold at very full prices ; the Berbice and Demerara
of mid. and finer qualities, sold at high rates for home
consumption, but the inferior descriptions were dull at a
decline of 2s. ; small parcels pale good ord. Brazil sold
at 335., low ord. Sumatra 32e. By private contract
large parcels of Foreign and East India Coffee were in-
quired for, and if the holders would have accepted prices
11. a 2s. lower, there would have been extensive contracts,
but the offers were refused. The Public Sale this fore-
noon 3,621 bags Havannah, 100 casks and bags British
Plantation, the Havannah all sold ; mid. 435. 6d., fine
ord. 355. a 38e., brown and good ord. 335. a 345. ; the
Jamaica sold also at full prices. The Market is firm.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLA NDS. —The purchases of
Rum have been parcels nearly proof Is. 10d., and free
en board Is. Hid. and 2s. ; several parcels of fine strong
Jamaica contracted for 3s. 6d. a 3s. Bd. In Brandy and
Geneva there is no variation; some of the favourite
marks of the former have been sold at 31. 2d. This
afternoon there was much interest excited respecting the
contract taken with Government; the quantity taken is
100,000 galls. ; the price is Is. 91d. a I 8.9.p._
_ _

HEMP; FLAX, ♦ND TALLOW.—The Tallo-W Market hil
little varied ; the demand is steady, but not extensive.
Hemp and Flax are a shade higher.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—In Beef or Pork there is little va-
riation. The yearly contract for the Navy has been adver-
tised, it is for the usual quantity, and of course no reduction
in our Navy is contemplated. Butters are heavy on account
of the mild rainy weather. Bacon little varied. Arrivals
last week 7,513 firks. Irish, 6,758 casks Foreign Butter.
Of Bacon the arrivals are 2,182 bales.

HOPS.-The accounts from the Hop Plantations are
frightful, the plant is covered with vermin and generally
turning black. The duty from this day week 45,0001. has
fallen to 30,0001. The prices of hops are 10e. a 15s.
higher ; Sussex pockets have been sold at 71. currently,
and in some instances 71. 45., and Kent pockets 71. 7s.
FIRST DAY'S SALE OF Itinico.-718 chests have passed
the sale; 548 chests Bengal and Java, 170 chests Madras.
The sale went off without spirit, at a decline of 3d. a 9d.
on the mid. and ord. qualities of Bengal and Benares ; the
good and tine shipping sorts sold from last sale's prices to
4d. discount.--About 140 chests, mostly of the mid, sort,
were bought in by the Proprietors.—Nearly the whole of
the Madras was bought in (about 25 chests only having
been sold), at from last sale's prices to 6d. discount.
TOBACCO.—A cargo of Tobacco has been taken for ex-
port, the price has not transpired.
FRUIT.—A parcel of Valentia Raisins has been sold at
435., which is Is. higher, sad all the stock here is now
held at 445. Small parcels of Cephalonia Currants have
been sold at 775., which is ls. lower.

RICE.-At Public Sale on Friday 1,457 bags Bengal
Rice, the very fine sold 168. a 175., the ordinary 10s. a 1 Is.
SALTPETRE.-The East India Company having de-
clared only 250 tons of Saltpetre for their sale has oc-
casioned much speculation, and it was stated the English
Government would purchase largely; for the latter re-
port there appears to be little foundation ; the prices
have advanced, and some fine parcels are reported higher.
There are to-day few sellers of Saltpetre.
COTTON.-The attention of the trade is directed to the
approaching India House sale; it is expected to consist of
7,500 bags Surats, 2,500 Bengal, a few Bourbon, &c.
making nearly 10,000 bags. The Market prices are
little varied. The purchases for the week ending last
night inclusive consist of 630 Surat 31d. a 44d. ; 300
Bengal 30. a 4.1 d. ; 30 Madras 41d. ; 20 Bowed 54d. ; 20
