MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

SUGAR.—The sales of Muscovades last week are esti-
mated at 2,700 Idls. ; the strong qualities suitable for
refining and fine Sugars are becoming rather scarce, and
the prices are rather higher; all other qualities remain at
our former quotations. The buyers of Sugars did not pur-
chase freely to-day, on account of the sales of Mauritius ;
the estimate of purchases of Muscovades, including 130
Mids. Barbadoes, was only 800 Ude. and trees. The de-
mand for all descriptions of Refined for export has been so
general and extensive that the supplies are found to be
quite inadequate to the request ; the cowequenees are,
large contracts for forward deliveries, three weeks and a
month, at an advance generally of 6d. to Is. per cwt. ;
ordinary Lumps 74s e good middling 755. 6d. and 765. ;
the tine goods for the home consumption are in better
supply, and there is little alteration to notice in the prices,
for crushed there has been a general demand, also for fine
Hamburg Loaves (for the double-loaf bounty). There
would have been extensive transactions in mid. and in
low goods this day, but there are no supplies at Market.—
' Prices are unvaried. Molasses are dull. Stock of Sugar
in London and St. Katharine Docks :—British Plantation
5.102 hhds. 342 tres., Mauritius 10,400 bags, Havannah
4,712 boxes, Brazil 1,959 chests. Deliveries from the
three Docks last week-3.592 birds. and trcs., 3,712 bag'.
FOREIGN &xi:ans.—The only purchases reported this
week are ord. yellow Havannalt 255. and 295., low brown,
Petnams 165., white low to mid. 17s. to Sls.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—There are no sales of East India
Suttar to any extent; some parcels re-sold have realized a
profit of fully Is. per cwt. This day 5,124 bags Maltri..
tins, the whole went off without briskness rather lower.
COFFEE.—Jamaica, Dominica, Demerara, and Bet bice
Coffee, sold last week at an advance of Is. a 25., the ord.
East India 6d. a is. per cwt. higher; the Foreign Coffee
could not be stated at any improvement in value, but the
market was much more firm. 6,000 1 ags East India all
sold freely, Sumatra S 1 s. fine ordinary Cheribon 375. 6d.
and 38s. ; a few lots good Batavia were taken in, for
which full prices were offered, for good ord. 345. good pale
ord. Brazil 835., coloury 34s.—This day Public Sales,
87 cask. Berbice, 45 casks Jamaica, 140 bags St. Do-
mingo, the letter good ord. pale was all taken in 335. 6d. ;
the British Plantation Coffee sold at previous prices. The
market is steady.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS —The few purchases
of Leewards reported last week were at former prices, 1 to
3 over Is. 94-d. and Is. l Od. ; in the stronger descriptions
and in Jamaica there were no sales. The estimate of
Brandy lately sold and changing hands was above 500
puns. at the advance of 2d. per gallon on the inferior, and
Sd. to 4d. on the ilist marks ; the holders are asking still
higher rates, which check the demand. In Geneva there
is no alteration. The unexpected declaration of a Go-
vernment contract for 100,000 gallons Rum (about 1,100
puns.) will no doubt improve the demand for the lower
qualities, but there has been no immediate effect; there
have been no sales to-day ; the market is, however, firm,
but, as our present stock is so much larger (B,COO puns.)
than last year, any great a Ivaace in prices cannot be anti-
cipated.
Hammy, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow market is
rather heavy, and the news of yesterday, the official ac-
count of the cessation of hostilities between • Ressia and
the Porte, tends to clamp the trede, as considerable sup-
plies are expected from the Black Sea. In Hemp or Flax
there is no material alteration. The letters from St.
Petersburgh are dated 7th inst. Exchange 1011. Tallow
100. Time 101. Bought 2,500. Shipped off 105,000.
Ships arrived 584. Diito sailed 469.
INDIGO.—The inspectioa of the next sale continues,
5,800 chests are declared, and the quantity is expected to
be increased to between 7,000 and 8,000; the stock in
the warehouse 11,000. In prices there is no alteration;
the market remains dull.

:SricEs.—The inquiries after Pepper continue, but no
