MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of August 22.)
SUGAR.-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 for
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 ix% s,
but as the trade are getting bare of stock, a better de-
mand may be expected to take place for Sugar shortly.
A publi^ sale of 117 hhds 2 trcs Barbadoes Sugar this
afternoon went off quietly, and at prices 6ti per cwt under
these of the last auction ; the whole, hole ever, was dis-
posed of, fine yellow at 65s to 67s 6d, good 63s to 64s 6d,
mid 62s to 62s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.-To-day the Refined Sugar market was in
a very dull state, and 77s the nearest quotation for
Standard Lumps. Treacle is cheaper ; common selling
at 23s 6d, patent 24s to 25s 6d, best old 29s to 29s 3d, and
golden syrup 27s 6d to 29s 60. Bastards and Pieces
were, however, its good request. Bonded Crushed Su-
gar is 25s 6d, but at that rate there are several pUrchasers.
MAURITIUS.--Prices have declined is for hrewn and
yellow, and 6d per cwt for the better sorts ; good to fine
yellow at 62s 6d to 655, mid 59s 6d to 625, low 58s 6d to
595, good to fine brown 57s 6d to 58s 6d, and low 49s per
c.wt.' The accounts' received from the Mauritius . state
that the export of Sugar to the 30th April, had been
549,966 bags and 1,883 casks, or 74,309,179 lbs. Five
vessels were loading for London, and were expected to
sail in a few days.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the public sales consisted
of 2,071 bags Bengal Sugar, 1,931 bags Siam, and 4,708
bags Manilla ; Bengal went at steady rates-low yellow
at 565, good white 67s to 67s 6d, middling 65s to 65s 6d,
good yellow 62s to 635, fine 63s 60 to 64s 6d, damp and
washed of various sorts 59s to 67s 6d. Siam brought an
advance of 6d ; good white fetched /Is 6tl, mid 20s 6d.
Manilla went rather dearer ; fine brown at 16s 6d to 175,,
damp and washed 14s 6d to 16s, and sweepings 14s.
FOREIGN.-To-day holders of all descriptions of Fo-
I reign Sugar manifested firmness, and the demand was
excellent ; 266 boxes white, 933 boxes yellow Haven-
nab, and 305 hhds Porto Rico were submitted to public
competition ;--Havannah was all sold and the biddings
were animated, the prices paid were fully equal to those
of the last sale ; good mid white went at 29s 6(1 to 30i,
mid 28s to 295, low 25s to 275, damaged 22s •6d to 26s
6d, Tar damaged 255, mid sound yellow 17s to 18s 60,
low 16s to 17s, slightly damaged 16s fid to 18s, damaged
15s to 17s 6d ; Porto Rico went as follows :-fine yel-
low at 19s, good 17s 6d to 18s, mid 16s 6d to 17s per
cwt. being rather above last sale's rates.
MOLASSES.-For West India rather higher rates have
been given ; Antigua fine at 31s, good 30s, St. Kitts mid
265, Barbadoes fine 325, Demerara mid 26s to 26s 6d.
Bengal Syrup at 22s to 24e, and Foreign Molasses at
7s 6d to 8s per cwt. This afternoon for West India
Molasses 80s 6d was.paid for a parcel of mid Barbadoes
just arrived. This afternoon 25 casks Honey at auction
went at 17s 6d for common Spanish.
COFFEE.-The supply of British Plantation Coffee
being still small, importers have been enabled to obtain
previous rates, but the market has been in a tranquil
state, and few purchases have been made privately.
This afternoon the home trade operated with much
caution ; for shipment a good demand existed for
Foreign and the lower sorts of East India Coffee : at
auction 42 bags Porto Rico, 1,756 bags Ceylon, and
1,000 bags Rio were offered-Porto Rico went at low
rates, fine fine ordinary selling at 45s 6d to 465, and fine
ordinary 42s 6d to 435. Ceylon was taken in and with:
drawn much above the value, viz. at 755. for fine ordinary
pale, 72s 6d have been since accepted for the whole.
Rio all sold at full rates, ordinary at 31s 60, good or-
dinary 32s 6d, fine ordinary 355, and damaged 26s to 30s
per cwt.
Cocoa.-Importers of British Plantation have mani-
fested more firmness, and for Trinidad there has been a
somewhat better demand by private contract at 33s 6d
to 35s 6d for common and mid red, and at 36s to 40s for
good and fine; at auction 48 casks Grenada were taken
in at 34s for good grey: Foreign has been little asked
for, but prices do not give way.
TEA.--There has been less demand for Tea. To-day
the market was in a dull state, and in some eases the
rates accepted were a shade lower ; sound common
Congou is 7,id to is 8d cash. The trade are • busily
engaged in tasting . the Tea declared for Friday. The
public sales of Tea will commence on Friday next.

petition, and sold at sid to sid for mid ; 1,281 bags
Malabar Ginger, at 14s. to 19s 6d for common to good,
being 2s higher.
RUM, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.-The arrivals of Rum
having been again large have caused holders of Wist
India to be desirous to sell, and they have submitted. to
a reduction on former rates of id per gallon for Lee-
wards; the sales have been only 120 puns at 2s to 2s id
proof. A reduction of lid to 2d having been submitted
to for Jamaica, led to a good business, and the sales have
reached 300 puni at 3s 10d to 4s 6d for good and
fine quality 32 to 36 per cent. overproof, and a small
parcel of peculiar flavour for mixing 28 per cent. over,
4s. Demerara is rather lower ; 150 puns have been sold
at as 2d to 3s 4d for 33 to 36 per cent. overproof. The
market for East India is, however, firm ; still little busi-
ness has been transacted ; is 5d to is 6d is the value of
proof at the high, and Is 6d to is 9d at the low rate of
duty. Brandy has been little asked for by the shippers,
but for home consumption a fair business has been
transacted at the following rates :-Cognac of
the first brands of the vintage of 1837, hhds 5s 2d,
puns 5s ; 1838, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; 1839, Muds 48

request at 9s-10d cash •at that rate, however, the Dis-
tillers are more disposed to sell. Geneva has been taken
sparingly, at is 9d to Is 10d per gallon.
This afternoon the market fur West India Rum was
heavy, and prices have further given way. Proof Lee-
