MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of December 27-)
SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation was in a
dull state all last week ; Grocers as well as Refiners
purchased with much caution, taking only ample for
their immediate wants ; the purchases for the three
market days amounted to only 800 hhds and tres at
prices 6d under those previously quoted for the best yel-
low' and fid to is per cwt for all other kinds. To-day
the Sugar market was closed and will remain so until
Tuesday next.
REFINED.—For Refined Sugar prices have further de-
clined, the supply of goods being large, and demand
limited. For Bonded Crushed Sugar the demand has
been excellent at 27s 3d to 27s 6d for first qual. In Loaves
large sales have been made at 31s for 14, 31s 6d to 32s*
for 10, and 34s to 35s for 6lbs. Treacle has been more
in request at 10s. Bastards at 17s to 18s 6d, and Pieces
at 19s to 24s per cwt. Dutch Crushed Sugar at 24s 6d
per cwt, on board in Holland ; damaged at 22s 6d to'23s

per cwt.
MAURITIIM—IroIders have refrained from offering
any at auction ; former rates have been sustained in
most cases ; fine yellow 64s 6d to 66s 6d, good 625 Gd
to 645, middling 59s to 625, low 56s to 58s, good to fine
brown 53s to .555, low to middling 455 to 53s per cwt.
EAST INDlA.—There has been a good demand for
white Bengal 4ugar at 66s to 70s for good to fine white;
Dobah sorts at 64s to 68s per cwt, but brown and low
yellow have met with a dull sale. Siam 23s 6d for low
white. Manilla at 17s to 17s 6d for low, 18s to 19s for
mid to fine brown, and 19s Cd to 20s 6d for fine yellow.

and Pernambuco at 23s to 25s ad per cwt.

MOLASSES.—The transactions have been upon a small
scale only ; good sorts are held for the former currency,
but common kinds are rather lower.
COFFEE.—There is a large consumption of Coffee
going on and which is likely so to continue, ,s prices
are moderate when compared with those of former years.'
but the market has been in a dull state both for Wes'
and East India sorts since we lust wrote, the trade n(4
having yet disposed of their old stocks. Ceylon Coffee
is dull of sale, and prices have a downward tendency'
Mocha sells slowly at the late decline. Foreign Coffey
has been less in request, at barely former currencies;

Cocoa, and a fair demand has existed. Trinidad fair red

sion for Foreign.

have pressed further parcels upon the market ; the tr5u...,,e
still entertain an unfavourable opinion towards the 11—;
cle, and purchase with much caution, notwithstanwlL''

THE WOOL TRADE..--The wOOl
market aton December 15, continued flat. The appearance of
; an early winter having put a stop to all other but the
inland business, we had already made up our minds
to keep our large stock of wool until the spring, when
al l at once, with the news from China, some buyers
arrived from Hamburgh. They were followed by
others from the Netherlands, and at the same
time combers and speculators made their appear-
ance in the market, which immediately became
buoyant, and for many years past, with the excep-
tion of the fairs, there has not been so much Ivol
sold in so short a time. Full 10,000 cwt. have
changed hands within the last 14 days, with a fair
prospect of more sales being effected. The qualities
most in demand were the lower sorts—from 45 to 50:
—ls. 6d. to ls. 7id. per pound, but a great deal of
business has also been done in the sorts from 50 t°
55, at ls. 70. to ls. 9d. per pound, which are consi-
dered much cheaper. In better qualities from 60,
about ls. 104 d. and upwards, there has been little
done. In respect to prices, I cannot say that they
have advanced much, for most of our holders Were
very ready to sell. The latter purchases, however!
are fully id. to ld. per pound higher; at the present
moment many dealers are not disposed to sell even
at
this advance. There is every prospect ttait these
prices will be maintained, and some of our speculators,
who entertain very sanguine expectations on the sub-
ject, have begun already to contract for the new-eliP-
-.Leeds Mercury.
DESTITUTION.--A young man, apparently abo
eighteen years of age, was, on Thursday forenoon,
during the very heavy rain, seen standing shiverhil
in South Albion-street, with nothing on but his shire
and trousers, and consequently drenched to the sion'
Seeing a police officer passing to the office, he
tbe
rately forced his hand through a pane of glass,
back window of a shop in Nelson-street. Swals
immediately apprehended, and when taken before the
Lieutenant, and questioned as to his reason for brealt
ing the glass, said he was wet, and starving of cold'.
and hunger, and, having nowhere to go to, he thought'
it much better to do what h had done than to ste3l
sheiteac
which he had no wish to do—in order to get
in the police-offic. He pled earnestly for a Piciece irt
bread before being locked up. It appeared in 11°1-1
that he had once before been placed at the bar in pre-
cisely the same circumstances.—Glasgow Argus. or
