MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the Nets London Price Current of yesterday).

SUGAR.-The demand this week has been steady an(
considerable : the low brown Sugars maintain their prices
with more firmness than for weeks past; the tine are scarce
and high, but the Sugars 495. a 525. have been bought
on rather lower terms. The estimated sales this week
3,000 hhds. and trs. Stock in London and St. Katha-
rine's Docks, West India 4,522 hhds, and trs. 186 bls.,
Brazil 962 packs, Havannah 3,357 packs, East India
1,410 bags, Mauritius 8,741 bags. In the Refined Mar-
ket there has been no material alteration; the season for
shipment to the North of Europe is closed, and the re-
quest for the Mediterranean is pretty well supplied for the
present ; fine goods for home consumption in moderate
demand. Molasses more firm. This afternoon there is
little alteration; large Lumps continue to be taken off for
packing, but are very scarce, notwithstanding which
barely last week's prices can be realized, the sales generally
being 71s. to 725. for low to good descriptions; in small
and Prussian Lumps and low single Loaves also, although
there is still business doing for crashing, there is a heavi-
ness, and last week's quotations are with difficulty ob-
tained. Sales of crashed continue to be made for the
Mediterranean, but the inquiries this week have not been
so numerous, and, although no material alteration can be
made in the quotations, purchases could be made on a
shade easier terms than last week. Molasses suJek in the
other two docks, 133 packs.
FOREIGN SUGAR.--A parcel of yellow Havannah
Sugar has been sold under particular circumstances at 245.
6d., and a small lot of low white I'ernams at 255.

extent are about 1,500 bags more of the Manilla Sugars
lately offered at public sale, 265. a 28s.

ward this week have consisted altogether of British Plan-

or private contract sales of Coffee this day.

from 2 under to 8 over at is. 841. a 2s. Brandy is held
with firmness. In Geneva there is no alteration. Rum
stock in London sad St. Katherine's Docks 1,674 puns.
llEmz, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow has become
very dull at 355., but on account of the letters front St.
Petersburgh stating the probability of 14 vessels being shut
in by the ice (probably to winter) the demand and the prices
have slightly improved. Hemp and Flax are also held for
higher prices.

_
INDIGO.—The Indigo Market Las a dull appearance,
but there are still inqul'ies and offers made for parcels, but
they are at low rates, and are rejected ; the sales lately are
quite inconsiderable. The public sale of 60 serons Spanish
Indigo this day went off at full market prices, all sold.

dull.

last night they consist of 400 Surat at 3.411. a 44d. ; 210
Pernams at 7ild. a 7,;(1. ; 150 Bengal at sid. a 4-41:l.
Faurr.—New Currants were taken off steadily in the
beginning of the week at '734., but some of the importers
appeared anxious to effect immediate and more extensive
sales, and to do which they yesterday lowered the price to
705., at which about 200 butts were sold. New red
Smyrna Raisins, since last Friday, have been advanced 25.,
the price being now 435. ; only a small quantity has,
however, as yet been taken off; there have been two or
three arrivals this week. New Valentia Raisins have been
held firmly for 475., but the grocers do not appear dis-
posed to purchase at that price, until they have cleared off
their old stock ; the merchants, nevertheless, have signi-
fied their intention of putting them on Monday to 48s.
New pulled Turkey Figs continue to go off rattier freely,
but one or two parcels have been sold at lower prices. A
large public sale of new French Fruit was brought forward
yesterday, consisting of various qualities, at which there
