MARKET INTELLIGENCE,

(From the London New Price Current of lifly 31.)

SUGAR —To-day the market for West India Muacovadoes
Sugar presented a quiet appearance ; for refining purposes a
fair demand existed, and 60s to 6ls Gd paid for good and fine
greyish brown Jamaica; but the grocers purchased with cau-
tion of yellow sorts, and in brown kinds few sales were made.
Merchants were compelled to accept prices 6d per cwt. under
those of Friday.
At public sale 150 hhds new Barbadoes were offered, the
biddings wore languid, and prices declined 6d. per cwt. neatly
the whole however found buyers, viz. fine blight yellow at
67s 6d to 68s 6d, good 65s to 675, mid 64 to 64s 6d, low mid
of a greyish complexion 62s 6d to 63s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.-To-day there was less demand for refined Sugar
from the home trade, and lower rates were accepted. Standard
lumps selling at Bls to 81s sd, and brown grocery lumps at 80s
to 81 per cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar sells slowly at 27s 6d
)to 27s 9d for first sort. In other articies there is no change.
Ma u aurius.—This afternoon the trade operated 'less freely.
The large quantity of 11,780 bags was offered at public sale, the
whole of which found purchasers, but the biddings were languid,
and the prices accepted were Is, and in some cases, Is 6d per
CA t under those of last sale ; low yellow went at 58s to 58s 6d,
middling 59s to 60s, good 61 to 62s 6d, fine 63s to 655, very
superior nearly white 65s to 675, good brown 54s 6d to 575, or-
dinary to fine grey 58s to 64s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.--The trade have been free buyers of white de-
scriptions of Bengal, paying previous rates ; brown and yellow
sorts have been in good request, but a large quantity having
been brought forward, has depressed prices 6d per cwt. ex-

stiff rates.

This afternoon seme parcels white Bengal were sold privately
at full rates. Only 43 bags 40 casks were offered at auction,
which went at 528 6d for sofa grey, and middling yellow
st3s 6d, 593 per cwt being full rates.

sparingly by private contract, and rather lower prices have been
accepted ; .Bahia sod at 21s 6d for low to good strong quality,

low quality.

fetched 40s fur good ordinary.
TEA.—In the Tea market much heaviness has prevailed
during the past week, a greater desire was manifested by im.
porters to sell, and prices declined considerably.
Yesterday the public sales were very thinly attended, and the
biddings were unusunllylanguid for every kind of Tea.
To-day the public sales were resumed : the merchants ma-
nifested snore firmness, and the trade came forward rather
snore freely ; still, the general aspect of the sale was heavy, the
trade purchasing with caution, and only ample for their
imme-
diate wants. The bulk of the Tea that passed the hammer was
bought in, the merchants refusing to take the low prices
buyers were inclined to pay. Twankay common sold at Is 6%d
