MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the New London Price Current of yeeterday),

SUGAR.—The Sugar Market had a languid appearance
all last week ; the purchases were estimated not to exceed
2,200 hhds. and tierces, and-the prices of the middling
qualities were again fully Is. lower; the Sugars 46% a
485., sold exceedingly low, the former with some colour,
the latter fair quality yellow; the fine and low brown
fully supported the previous currency. The stock of Mus-
cevades in London is now 43,603 hhels. and tierces, being
1,429 more than last year. The deliveries last week
were 3,062 hhds. and tcs., being 351 more than last
year. At the close of the Market this day, the estimated
sales were very limited, owing in a great measure to the
dense fog, which prevents the usual routine of trade.
Average of Sugar 255. ld. In the Refined Market there
was a dull trade, on account of the severe frost in the
North of Europe; the holders of low Lumps were so
anxious to effect sales, that a farther decline in the prices
was submitted to; the other qualities supported prices,
but the Market was dull. Molasses higher, and rather
brisk. English Molasses, 17s. 6d.
EAST INDIA. SUGAR.—By public sale, 2,812 bags MAU..
ritius Sugars sold with briskness at full prices, and in some
instances 6d. to Is. per cwt. higher. •
FOREIGN SI,TGAR.—There have been no sales of Foreign
Sugar.

COFFEE.-The quantity of Coffee brought forward last
week at public Elle was very limited, consisting of parcels
of Jamaica, Berbice, and Demerara; the clean parcels
suitable for the home trade found ready buyers, and some
lots of the middling and good middling sold at rather
higher rates; the ordinary and unclean could not be dis-
posed of. There were no offers, and large parcels were
taken in at low rates. The only Foreign. Coffee inquired
after was the good ord. Brazil ; the price quoted was 321.

and up to a late hour no purchases by private contract
were reported.

last week were about 800 puns., about one-half Leewards,

price did not transpire. Some Leewards 18 over sold

held with firmness, but there are few sales ; the prices in
France have advanced considerably. Geneva is still neg-
lected.

Ilascr, FLAX, man TAr.r.ow.—The Tallow Market has
been very steady ; the arrivals have been very large, the
deliveries much less than anticipated. It is now calcu-
lated that only 1,100 casks are shut in by the ice at Peters-
burgh. In Hemp or Flax there is no alteration. The
letters from St. Petersburgh are dated the 28th ult. Ex-
change 10d. 9-16. Arrived 835 British ships; sailed
820. The frost had closed the navigation for the season.

variation. The arrivals of Bacon aid Better yesterday
were so extensive that it has caused a languid trade.

are without variation. The public sale of Bengal Rise

new Turkey Figs have been all taken out of the Market.

nearly all taken in.

the late sales are quite inconsiderable. The public sale of
170 Nereus Guatemala last week went off 3d. to 6d. per
lb. lower ; about one-half sold. The inspection of the
next sale at the India House will commence on Thursday
next; the quantity declared little exceeds 2,000 chests,
