MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of October 21.)
SI:GAIL—The Market for West India Muscovadoes
Sugar has presented a healthy appearance all the week.
For yellow descriptions the demand has been extensive,
and the market each day has been nearly cleared ; in-
deed. the supply has not been ample for the wants of the
Grocers, and the prices paid have been 6d per cwt above
those of Friday last.
To-day yellow and strong grey qualities of British
Plantation Sugar met with ready purchasers at higher
rates, making the advance for the week 6d to ls per cwt.
The demand for brown sorts increases, but on account of
the large supply no general rise can be quoted in prices.
The total sales for the week are 2,800 hhds and trcs.
The market closed very firmly ; some merchants have
altogether withdrawn their Sugar from the market.
REFINED.—There has been an excellent demand for
Refined Sugar for home consumption this week, and a
further advance has taken place in prices ; the market
has decidedly assumed a healthy appearance, and the
stocks are not large.
To-day the Grocers purchased freely of Refined
Goods, paying 76s 6d for standard, and 73s 6d to 74s
6d for brown grocery lumps, at which the market closed
firmly ; the supply of the better descriptions is getting
moderate. In other articles there is no variation.
MAuarrius.—The demand has been active for yellow
descriptions, and all the parcels offered privately have
been cleared off the market at fully former rates, but for
brown sorts, of which the supply has principally con-
sisted, prices have declined 6d per cwt. This afternoon
there was no public sale ; privately yellow sorts were
sought after, and commanded prices 6d per cwt above
those of Friday last, the supply being small ; 64s to 67s
6d paid fur good and fine ; other kinds are held firmly
r.o auction is declared.
EAST INDlA.—Although importers of Bengal have
supplied the marke. largely this week, yet former prices
have been sustained, and the demand has been brisk,
excepting for brown sorts, which are 6d to is lower,
wore few buyers. Prices are firm for Java. Manilla xt
15s to 17s for low to fine brown, and good and fine yel-
low 17s to lis 6d per cwt. Siam at 22s to 22s 6d for
mid, at 21s 6d fur common white, and washed 20s
per cwt.
_ _

- This afternoon good and fine white Bengal Sugar com.
manded a fair sale at full rates : none was offered ai
auction.

FOREIGN.—The market for all descriptions of Foreign
Sugar wears a firm appearance. To-day there were
purchases of Brazil, but stiffer rates asked, which
checked business ; 520 chests brown Bahia, and 55
chests white Pernams were offered at auction, and all
taken in above the value ; the former, fine at 18s to
18s Gd, good and mid 15s 6d to 17s 6d, damaged 14s 6d
to 16s ; the latter at 24s for good mid, and 19s 6d to 21s
for low ; since the sale, however, a part has been sold at
those rates.

MOLASSES.—The transactions in West India have
been upon a small scale this week, but holders have re-
fused to submit to lower rates.
.. To-day a better demand existed, and sales of fine Do-
minica were made at 29s per cwt.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The demand has
been lively for Jamaica Rum, and the purchases have
amounted to 500 puns this week at full rates ; 28 to 30
per cent over proof selling at 2s 10d to 3s 2d,
34 to 36 over proof 3s 4d to 3s 6d, and finer
3s 8d to 4s 4d per gallon. Lewards are firm in
price, and in good request ; 300 puns proof to 16 per cent
over have been sold at the rate of is Bid to Is 9d proof.
Demerara have been sought after, and 100 puns have
been sold at 3s for 38 per cent. over. The home trade
are desirous to get stocked with Jamaica Rum at pre-
sent moderate rates, and which are lower than
for some years. In Calcutta sales have been
made at Is 4d to is 8d with, and at is 30 . without
certificate. The stock of Bum has greatly diminished of
late ; only 161 puns have arrived since our last. Brandy-
has secured a good sale, and the market is firm; Cognac

4s 2d ; 1840, hhds 4s Id, puns 3s lld ; 1841, hhds

Geneva is in request at is 10d to is I Id. English Corn
Spirits in good demand at 9s 3d per gallon, cash.
COFFEE.—Holders of British Plantation have shown
firmness this week, and have refrained from offering any
ut auction ; mid clean descriptions have been sought
after, anti stiffer rates offered, but the scanty supply has
operated against business, common and fine ord sorts
have been little asked for, the trade in lieu thereof taking
Ceylon, which is stiil to be obtained upon more advan-
tageous terms.
Tosday the market was firm for all descriptions of
offee ; none was offered at auction ; but privately
Ceylons. was in good request at 65s 6d to 66s for
good ordinary. Mocha sells more freely ; middling 75s
