MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

St/GAIL—The demand for Muscovades during last week
was languid, and the total sales of the week did not exceed
2,800 idls. and tes. Where parcels of good Sugars could
be cleared off, a small reduction in prices was submitted
to ; the brown qualities were in better demand, on ac-
count of the fruit season, and the prices of the latter were
fully supported. Towards the close of the Market last
week there was mote firmness in the trade, and at the
public sale of St. Lucia Sugars, which were expected to
go off very low, there was some briskness, and the market
prices were fully supported. The delivery last week was
more than anticipated, 3,551 hhds. and tcs., Leing 763
less than in 1828. At the close of the Alarket the esti-
mated sales this day were 1,000 hhds. and tcs. ; prices are
again rather lower. In the Refined Market there was very
little variation ; the purchases for the home consumption
were rather more extensive, but there was no improve-
ment in the prices of fine goods. Some inferior Lumps
sold at rather lower terms ; the Market for the latter is
heavy. Molasses steady. In the Refined Market there
was no alteration this afternoon.

Foil. SuGa,a..—,The purchases of Havannah Sugars
lastweek were 100 chests low middling yellow at 295. by

89 chests low white Pernams, all taken in, IS barrels

made fur white Havannah, but the buyers offered Is. a 2s.
tinder the llark,.t prices, and the offers were rejected.

Sugars there was no alteration last week. This day 6,324
bags Mauritius Sugar, the whole sold, ord. brown 435.,

qualities were 6d. to Is. lower, the fine at former rates.
COFFEE.-The purchases of Coffee last week were ex-
tensive, and the fine fine ord. and mid. Jamaica which we
remarked selling lower than any other qualities, and rating
lower in proportion than any other descriptions, have
again advanced Is. to 25., and were purchased eagerly,
both by exporters, and by the trade for home consump-
tion ; about 1,000 packages of Jamaica were sold ; the
small parcels of Dominica and St. Lucia sold also more
freely, and at better prices. Two hundred and sixteen
bags Demerara sold at previous market rates. About
1,000 bags St. Domingo sold at a reduction of Is. a 25.,
ord. to fine ord. 325. a 335. 6d. About 4,000 bags East
India Coffee sold ; Ceylon 31s. a 82s. 611. and 335. ;
Batavia ord. to good ord. 325. a 355. 6d. ; Samarang

The Coffee Market was firm at former prices, except
Jamaica fine fine ord. and ord. mid. which were Is. a 2s.
higher, and St. Domingo, which was Is. a 2e. lower.
This day 1,932 bags East India, 673 bags Foreign, 304
casks British Plantation ; the Sumatra, 30s. a SOs. 6d.,
Cheritron 31s. a 31s. 6d., good taken in 345. and 345. id.,

stated at any variation.

Rum, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS.-The Rum Market
continues to have a heavy appearance ; the only purchases
to any extent are parcels of proof Leewards at is. 9id.,
and free on board at Is. I Id. In Jamaica Rum there are
no sales worth reporting. Brandy and Geneva continue
neglected.
llrmr, FLAX, AND TALLOW.-The Tallow Market
continues firm : the prices rather improving. In Flax and
in hemp there is no alteration worth reporting. The
letters from St. Petersburgh are of the Bth inst. ; Exchange
101. ; Tallow 100 q to 101._

latsit PRovisio;rs.—ln Beef or Pork there is no alte-
ration. Bacon and Butters meet a more ready sale. Ar-
rivals 3,104 firks. Irish, 6,236 Foreign Butter.
Tobacco.--There are no considerable inquiries after
Tobacco, but no actual sales to any extent are reported.
hors.—The fine weather has occasioned some improve-
ment in the appearance ; the new shoots are vigorous, but
coining from a diseased plant it is a question if they can
yield. The duty has advanced to 38,0001., and the
prices of Hops are 5.. lower ; the best now offered at 71.
Woor..—By public sale Thursday, 168 bales New
South Wales Wool 4d. a Is. 2d. per lb. ; 41 bales Van
Diemen's Land sd. a 9il. ; 29 bales unwashed Spanish
Wool 4id. a sd. ; three bales German Wool Sid. a Is. sd.
Tca.—There is almost nothing doing in the Market,
and the dem•tnd from the country is very slack.
RlCE.—This day 3,000 bags East India Rice, Bengal
fine white 13s. a 145., good I ls. Gd. a 18s. ; cargo 7s. 6d.
Rice is rather lower.

INDIGO.—The East India Company's sale of 5,763 chests
Indigo, which commenced on the 14th inst., en led the
22d ; there was declared for sale 5,916 chests, of which 153
chests were withdrawn by the proprietors. The sale
opened heavily at a decline of 6d. to 9d. per lb. on April
de's rates, but as it advanced prices rallied, and, in many
instances, April sale's prices to 3d. lower were obtained for
good shipping qualities, and from 3d. to 6d. lower on the
middling and consuming. The total quantity bought in
is about 1,406 chests, in the following proportion ; 350
chests Bengal, 700 chests Madras, and 350 chests Oude.
The fall may be thus estimated—

On the fine and good April sale's prices to fid. lower
Onthe good middling and middling
On the middling, ordinary and consuming 6d. to 9d.

On the Madras...
On the fine Oude..
On the middling and ordinary Oude

. 6d. to IL
3d. to 611.
to 3d.

FRUlT.—Fruit is without-variation.

COTTON.—The Cotton Market last week was unusually
quiet, owing to the numerous public sales brought forward
on Friday. The East India Company put up 4,470 bales,
2,775 bales Bengals, ordinary to good fair, sold 3d. a
3id. (210 bought in); 286 bales Madras, ordinary to
middling, all bought in, 2id. a 31.1. ; 220 bales Bourbon,
middling to fair, 6d. a 7-4.1. (100 bought in) ; 1,209 bales
Surat, ordinary to middling, all bought in 3id. a 3d.
The other sties consisted of 6,100 bales Surat., about
1,500 sold, the rest bought in, ordinary 3d., middling
sp. a 30., fair 3id. and good fair 4-id. a4d. ; 483 bales
Domingo, half sold, all faults, 4i.1. a 41d., the rest made
merchantable, bought in at 6d. per lb. ; 75 bales Georgia,
ordinary to good, sold at 4id. a sid. in bond. The re-
sult is, the Bengals sold at a reduction of „Id. on our pre-
vious currency, and the Surats at about id. reduction, but,
on the whole, fully on a par with the public sale of 29th
May, of what has been bought. The sales were thinly at-
tended. The purchases by private contract are 70 Bengals
at 5/I. a 61d. ; 100 Surats at 3id.'s 4d.
