MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 19.)
SUGAR.-To-day there was a good demand for West
India Sugar from grocers and refiners, and very full
rates paid for every sort, but holders could not obtain
any general advance. The show is small for the period'
of the year, and stocks at the outports are yet
light. At public sale 125 hhds of Barbadoes Sugar
fetched very full rates-that is to say, fine yellow at 545,
good 52s to 535, middling 50s 6d to 51s 6(I, and low 48s
495. 191 hhds of Trinidad were since taken in at 50s
for mid greyish, being above the value; full market rates
were offered. Since the sale the Trinidad Sugar has been
sold rather under the buying-in price. The total quan-
tity of Sugar sold to-day amounted to 600 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.-To-day the home trade were less inclined
to purchase Refined goods, and prices not so firm, brown
grocery lumps selling at 66s 6d to 675, and standard
lumps at 68s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is firm
at 43s per cwt for first sort ; but there is yet little to
be had.
MAURITIUS.-All descriptions have met with eager
purchasers, and the market has been nearly clearest at
further advanced rates. 6,401 bags at auction.

old white Bahia at 32s per cwt, being rather above former
rates. A floating cargo of brown Pernambuco has been
sold, but the plisse did not transpire.
RICE.-To-day a.:11 descriptions of Rice were purchased
with caution, and prices are not so firm; 14s to 18s per

rates, but the trade for the most part are supplied fur the
present.

Coffee were in excellent request privately ; l,OOO bags
of low good ordinary St. Domingo were sold at 335, and

satisfactory for Wool.

private treaty, and former rates ere barely supported ;

ther improved rates, 41s 6d to 41s 9d having been cur-
rently paid for the last three months of the year, and
42s per cwt for separate months. All other descriptions
of Tallow have been in excellent request, and prices
higher, although the market has again been abundantly
supplied.

transacted, middling and the better descriptions have
fetched full prices, but low sorts are quoted rather
cheaper. Seal has been in excellent request, and a further
improvement inthe value has occurred. For Cod Oil the
market has a dull appearance, and prices are on the decline.
For Sperm a good demand has been experienced, and
prices rule firm. There is a good consumption of all
common Fish Oils going on, and prices are much under
those of last season at this period. With Linseed.
Oil the market is well supplied, and the de-
mand being limited, prices continue to go down.

Oil has been in extensive request, and prices are firmer.

Woo"mien, Aug. 19.—Lord Claude Hamilton and
Viscount Canning, with an Eastern Pasha and a younger
member of a distinguished Eastern family, specially hired the
Sylph steam-vessel to-day, to convey them to Woolwich, and
the party landed at Charlton-pier, and proceeded in a car•
riage to the residence of Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield,
G.C.B. and G.C.H., in the Royal Arsenal, where they
arrived about twelve o'clock. His Lordship, accompanied by
Lieutenant-Colonel Blachley, Royal Horse Artillery ; Lieut...
Colonel Brown, Lieutenant-Colonel Colquhoun, Royal Artil-
lery, conducted the noble and distinguised visitors over that
extensive dept of naval and military stores ; and the Pasha
seemed greatly interested and surprised to witness the vast
resources of this country. It was intended that the noble and
distinguished visitors should witness the exercises of the Royal
Horse Artillery and field batteries on the common, and rocket
practice in the marshes, and the officers and men remained in
review order from halftast eleven o'clock until a late hour ;
but the unfavourable state of the weather prevented their exer-
cises on the common.
