MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
The arrivals of all Grain this week were moderate. Wheat
was firm at Monday's prices. In other Grain no variation, ex-
cepting in good Oats, which were rather dearer. Flour re-
mains as last reported. The rain this week throughout the
country has been very favourable to vegetation.
COLONIAL MARKET.
The demand was limited for all kinds of produce, and former
fates were barely sustained. The home trade were the chief
operators. The imports keep small. Raw Sugar was less in
request, and prices kept up. Refined goods firm ; standard
lumps 82s. 6d. per cwt.
SMITH FI E . . .

The supply of Cattle was but moderate, with a dull demand,
prices 2d. per stone lower ; in Sheep and Lambs a small re-
duction was submitted to; of Calves the supply was plentiful,
with a middling demand; for Pigs the demand was heavy, with
full 2d. per stone lower. Beasts, 507 ; Sheep and Lambs,

( From the London New Price Current of M 0.,/ 37.)
SCG A 11.—The market for British Plantation Sugar pre-
sented a healthy appearance last week ; the demand has been
brisk for both Crown, yellow, and grey sorts, and the rates paid
have been equal to those of Friday last; in some cases, how-
ever, rather lower prices have been taken for inferior sorts.
To-day importers of British Plantation were more disposed
to realise, and submitted to prices 6il per cwt. under those of
last Friday there was, however, a fair business transacted
both for Grocery and Refinery purposes. The total sales for
the week are 3,200 hhds and tierces.
Rosh ED. —To-dav the demand was active from the home-
trade for the lower and middling descriptions of goods, indeed
the quantity at market was not sufficient for the wants of the
trade ; patent Brown Lumps fetched tits to ~.k2.4 6dd, mid brown
Lumps Ifs to 60s, Standard Lumps 82s 6d to 8.35, but the finer
sorts of goods are only in limited request:
AI A URITIU s.—This afternoon there was a good demand, and
5,528 bags at auction were all sold, but at a seduction of for-
mer rates of 6(1 per cwt, tine and very fine yellow went at 64s
to 675, good 62s 6d to 63s 6d, mid 603 to 625, low mid 59s to
59s 641 per cwt.
EAST INlnA.—Brown descriptions of Bengal have been
taken snore freely this week, and although the market has been
well supplied, yet holders have obtained full rates: white sorts
have been in good request at the previous currency, and strong
yellow kinds have been sought after.
This afternoon there were three public sales of Brazil, the
best sorts of white and yellow brought full rates, but all com-
mon kinds, as well as brown, went rather lower; mid brown
sold at 45s 6d to 48s 6d, good and fine sls to 54s 6d, good
white'66s to 675, mid 65s 6d, mid yellow 60s to 64s ; chrystal-
lized bold grainy, but damp, 70s to 72s 6d per cwt. bengal
sold at lOs 6d to lls for good bold white, being the full value.
FOREIG N. —To-day buyers of Foreign Sugar operated with
caution ; 1,609 boxes of Havannah were put up to public sale ;
the whole sold, but at a reduction on former rates of Is to Is lid
for yellow, and Is 6d to 2s 6d for the lower kinds of white ; the
best sorts, however, nearly maintained their value, low to fine
strong yellow went at I6s 6d to 19s 6d, damp 143 to 163; fine
strong white of the new crop fetched 283 to 295, awl ord to
good of old import at 21s to 25s 6d per cwt.
MoLassEs.—For \Vest India, prices continue to ba sup-
ported; Antigua good quality at 28s to 295, Montserratt 26s 6d.
to 275, and Demerara 28s per cwt. Bengal Molasses fetched
20s, and Madras Jaggery 40s to 40s 6d per cwt. Foreign Mo-
lasses 7s to 7s 6d fur small parcels.
COCOA.—For B. P. Cocoa prices have suffered a depression
of 3s to 4s per cwt : Trinidad, mid to good red at 34s 6d to
37s 6d, and common greyish red33s 6d to 34s per cwt. Foreign
has sustained the former value, 35s is the price of Guayaquil.
COFFEE. —There has been less demand for British Planta-
lion Coffee this :week, and the market has presented a quiet.
appearance ; importers have been more desirous to realise, and
prices have suffered a depression of 3s to 4s per cwt. for all de-
scriptions, even at which rates the trade have taken only ample
for their immediate wants.
This afternoon there was a better demand for Coffee, and
importers were less desirous to realize. At auction 1,003 Cey-
lon, 56 brls St. Lucia, 13 brls 200 cases Mocha, 1:00 bgs East
India, and 156 bgs Cuba, were effected. Ceylon mostly sold at.
full rates ; rine ord coloury fetched 74s 6d, good ord pale 7ls to
72s 6d; St. Lucia went at 95s to 97s 6d for mid celoury, and
triage 58s per cwt, being the full value. Mocha was sold at
75s tid to 80s tad, for mid and low mid yellow, being rather
lower.
TEA.—To-day the Tea market was in an inactive state, and
although the merchants were desirous to sell, yet the trade
came forward reluctantly. At public sale 6,866 packages were
offered ; there was but a thin attendance of the trade, who
evinced little desire to operate. The biddings were
heavy throughout the sales for both black and green de-
scriptions, and the prices accepted show a decline on last
sale's rates of I per lb. for good and middling, 2d to 3d for
common, 3d to 4d for fine Congou, I 0 to 2d for Twankay, 2d
to 3d for Hyson, 2d for Imperial and Gunpowder, and 3d to 4d
for Souchong ; of the quantity put up only 2,800 pkgs were
sold. This has been the dullest sale that we have seen for some
year. Company's Congou Is &1, and nominal.
Rica. —Bengal Rice at 9s tid to lOs for mid white rather
(lusty, being the full value, yellow kinds have been little asked
fur, and the whole of the sound of 5,542 bags was bought in at.
es for good cargo, being a full price ; damaged however sold at
7s Sd fur first and second class. Privately 2,000 bags have
been disposed of at 9s lid to lls for mid to good clean white.
Java has sustained last week's rates. Carolina at 30s for first,
and 26s to 2Ss for other sorts, and Patna at lastid to I Is lid per
cwt.
