MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 10.)
SUGAR.-Importers of Colonial Sugar have been in-
clined to realize this week, and the market has been well
supplied with nearly all descriptions. To-day there was
only a small amount of business transacted in any kind
of West India Sugar, the quantity sold amounting to only
350 hhds, making the total quantity for the week 1680
hhds and trcs, and the decline in prices 6d to is per
cwt. A large public sale of 5000 bags of Madras in
bond is declared for Tuesday. To-day the home trade
came forward more freely, and many parcels were dis-
posed of-brown Lump at 72s to 72s 6d, and Standard
73s 6d to 745. Bonded crushed is held firmly at 91s to
31s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.-There has beset less demand from the
home trade for Refined Sugar, and the market having
been better supplied with goods, the rates accepted are
rather under those previously quoted ; brown lumps
selling 72s to 72s 6d, standard lumps 73s to 73s 6d.
Tittlers low to mid 72s to 735, good 74s 6d to 765, fine
and very fine 77s to 83s, Hamburgh loaves 73s to 82s,
Double do 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 70s to 71s per cwt,
Bastards 38s to 395, middling 40s to 41s, good 43s to
475, and fine 41ils to 53s per cwt. In pieces there has
been a good business transacted, fine has been selling at
67s to 69a, good 64s to 665, mid 6ls to 635, and low
56s to 60s. Treacle has been in excellent request at
firm rates, and the supply is small. Boiled from West
India Molasses has been selling at 21s 6d to 225, Patent
22s 6d to 23s 6d, and Golden Syrup 24s to 27s per cwt.
For bonded crushed Sugar there are numerous pur-
chasers. Of Loaves large parcels have been disposed of.
MAURITIUS.-There has been a much better demand
for this description of Sugar, and although the market
has been well supplied, still previous rates are main-
tained ; indeed in some cases 6d per cwt advance
has been obtained for the better kinds. At public
sale, 8,010 bags 278 casks were readily disposed
of upon the following terms, viz. :-very low dark
brown at 36s 6d to 40s, fine 51s, low yellow 52s to 535,
middling 53s 6d to 565, good middling 56s 6d to 58s 6d,
good 59s to 60s, fine 62s to 635, very fine 65s ; the casks
went at from 51s 6d to 65s per cwt. Privately, some
parcels have been sold upon similar terms.
EAST INDIA.-The brown and yellow descriptions of
Bengal Sugar are plentiful, and a further decline in
prices of 6d to is per cwt has taken place ; but upon
thova terms buyers have been induced to pur-
chase freely. This afternoon Bengal Sugar met
with less attention, and at auction 1,915 bags were only
party disposed of. at rather lawer rates, viz., low yellow
at 5 3 to 525, middling 52s 6d to 555, good middling 575,
damp and washed 49s to 565, middling sound white 625,
damp Gls 6d to 625, tainted by sulphur, mid strong
greyish yellow 50s to 52s 6d, damp 49s to 50s, low
wasned white very sulphery 48s per cwt.
MOLASSES.-For West India a good demand has been
exp. eienced, and the improved rates previously este-
blist.ed are fully supported; Antigua has been fetching
23s Ad per cwt, indeed at present prices some of the
merchants will not sell, and the stock is diminishing.
East India is in request, but there is at present not much
in the market, and 14s to lis is the value.
FOREIGN.-This afternoon at public sale 5,926 bags of
Manilla, 385 boxes of Havannah, and 92 bags of Bahia
were offered. .Manilla of sound quality was taken in
above the value ,• good yellow at 20s to 20s 6d ; a few
lots of damaged were sold at 18s Gd to 19s, one lot
shifted 15s 6d. The Havannah was all washed, and
fetched stiff rates-good 21s Gd, middling 20s 6d to 21s,
and ordinary 18s to 19s 6d. The Bahia was taken in at
18s 6d for sound brown, and 18s per cwt for washed,
being more than it was worth.
COFFEE.-There has been less inquiry for West India
this week, but importers have shown firmness, and refuse
to take lower rates ; by private contract there has been
little business transacted, and of 304 casks 21 bags 10
hhds offered at public sale, a small part only found
purchasers at the previous currency-Berbice, mid colory
went at 75s to 80s, low mid 735 to 73s 6d, fine fine ord 70s
to 71s 6d, fine ord 54s to 625, good ord 50s 6.1 to 53s 6d,
triage 40s;
.Jamaica, good mid 104 to 118 s, mid 82s to
90s, low mid 725, fine ord 54s to 635, good ord 50s to
525; Dominica, fine ord 56s to 58s, and good ord 52s to
54s per cwt. With East India Coffee the market has
been better supplied, and shippers and the home trade
have come forward with freedom. This afternoon at pub-
lic sale 25 casks 119 brls 21 bags Berbice were offered,
nearly the whole of which sold at low rates, the quality
being unclean-low mid went at 635, fine ord 45s to
46s 6d, good ord 40s to 40s 6d, inferior 31s to 355, and
triage 25s to 355; 316 bags of fine Batavia fetched 42s
to 435, sea damaged Ist class 37s to 37s 6d, 2d class
:32s 6d, 3d class 27s 6d, sea damaged and repacked 265.
The value of good ord Ceylon is 52s to 53s per cwt.
TEA.-Importers still manifest firmness, and have re-
frained from offering any at public sale. Congou has
fully sustained previous rates, and buyers have purchased
freely, paying lld to 11 id for common, and good com-
mon I lid to is Oid per lb ; the supply is small of all
qualities. Pouchong 7d to I ld, and superior at Is
to is 2d per lb. Twankay is at is 3d to is aid
for common, Is 4d to Is 9d for brightish leaf,
and Is 9d to 2s 5d for Hyson kind. There are many
orders for Hyson, common has been fetching 2s 7d to
2s Sd, mid to good 2s 9d to 3s, and fine 3s 2d to 4s 6d
per lb. Young Hyson is rather dearer, and much in
request. For Hyson Skin prices are advancing. Scented
Orange Pekoe is 3s 4d to 3s 5d per lb, and the demand
continues. An increased desire has been manifested
to purchase Gunpowder, and the rates given
are rather above those previously quoted, Canton
selling at 2s 8d to 2s 11d, other sorts 3s to 4s 6d, Im-
perial 2s Gd to 2s 9d, and other sorts 2s 10d to 3s Gd
per lb. Souchong sells more freely upon former terms.
For Caper holders are obtaining prices they could not
preer:ously get. Flowery and black leaf Pekoe are more
in request. The Tea market is in a sound state, and
like AO to continue for some time.
Seices.-The market has a firm appearance for black
Pepper. By private contract several purchases have been
madi: ; Penang at 2id to 2id • Sumatra good light 24-d,
and Malabar 2jd to Ad per lb, some parcels have arrived.
Still the stock is much less, and prices are lower than
rt that time last season. White is more in request.
Pimento is held with firmness, but the demand has been
only for small parcels at 3id to 4id per lb. The mar-
ket is firm for cloves. Importers of Mocha are not in-
clined to press sales at present low rates. East and
Wes, India Ginger is firm in price, and the business
transacted has been upon a most extended scale. Nut-
megs are wanted, and the rates paid are rather above
thoso of the last auctions. We quote brown at 3s to 3s
7d, good mid and geod 3s Sd to 3s Ild and fine 4s to
4s 6d per lb. This afternoon at public sale 55 bags of
white Pepper were sold at 4id to 4fd for middling,
and 4id for good middling, being id lower.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Importers of Ja-
melee Rum submitting to rather lower rates, buyers
have been induced to come forward more freely, and 250
puns sold-fair quality, 28 to 33 per cent. over proof,
at 3s Gd to 3s Bd, and good, 33 to 35 per cent over, at 4s.
In consequence of holders of Calcutta submitting to a
further reduction in prices, buyers have been induced to
operate more freely, and the large quantity of 500 hhds
200 puns was disposed of by one firm at 2s 2d proof with
certificate, but subject to an allowance of 2d in con-
sequence of the Rum being of old importation, and de-
ficient of strength, so that the actual price is 2s per
gallon proof with certificate. Leewards, 200 puns
have been sold at 2s 2id to 2s 3d proof
strength. For Demerara there has been a brisker
demand, and prices have made a stand : 100
puns, 32 to 33 per cent over proof, sold at
3s 3d per gallon. There are further arrivals of East and
West India Rum. An increased desire has been shown
to purchase the best descriptions of Brandy, and many
parcels have been disposed of at Id per gallon. We
quote Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds
5s 3d, puns 5s Id ; ditto, 1839, hhds ss, puns 43 10d ;
ditto, 1841, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 9d ; ditto, 1842, hhds
