MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

- -
(From the London New Price Current of August 22.)
Svc/tn.-The' dulness in the B. P. Sugar market has
increased, and the arrivals having been large since our
last report, have caused importers generally to be more
disposed to realise, and they have submitted to a reduction
on former rates of 6d to Is per cwt. To-day the demand
was limited for West India Muscovado Sugar, both fur
the scale and pan, and the prices accepted were in
some. cases 6d per cwt under those of Friday ; the pur-
chases, including the auction, are only 400 hhds and trcs,
but as the trade are getting bare of stock, a better de-
mand may be expected to take place for Sugar shortly.
A public sale of 117 hhds 2 trcs Barbadoes Sugar this
afternoon went off quietly, and at prices 6d per cwt under
those of the last auction ; the whole, however, was dis-
posed of, fine yellow at 65s to 67s 6d, good 63s to 64s 6d,
mid 62s to 62s Gd per cwt.

golden syrup 27s 6d to 29s 6d. Bastards and Pieces
were, however, in good request. Bonded Crushed Su-

yellow, and Gd per cwt for the better sorts ; good to fine

a reduction on former rates of id per galle,a for Lee-
wards; the sales have been only 120 puny at 2s to 2s y
proof. A reduction of lid to 2d having been submitted

livered, and were of no interest except to the parties

in horses, but he was understood to be a gentleman
living upon his own private property. His debts
which were considerable (amounting to between
11,0001. and 12,0001.), were chiefly upon bills of ex-
change, many of which were stated in his schedule to
be without consideration, having been contracted in
connection with spotting transactions.
After the examination of several witnesses, whoio
evidence was without public interest, it was stated by
the solicitor to the fiat, that a considerable sum had
been realized for the benefit of the creditors, and that
it was expected, after a short time, the assignees
would be able to declare a dividend of ss. in the pound
again.

.'The examination of the bankrupt was then fur-
ther adjourned.
