MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON ILARKETS.
(From the London New Priee Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.-There has been a general and extensive de-
mand for all desct iptions of Sugar this week ; the transac-
tions in St est India, in East, in Foreign, and in refined,
are all on the most extensive scale; the wholesale and re-
tail grocers appear to have been entirely out of stock. The
demand for export has also been extensive, and it is -sup-
posed that considerable parcels of the Mauritius have bees
taken on speculation; tl'e very reduced prices of every de-
scription of produce attracting the attention of the capita-
lists as investments, anticipating a:•revival in commerce
and higher prices. The sales of West India Muscovadei-
this week have been 3,000 hhds. anti tierces, and the pur-
chases, it is stated, would have been more extensive,
had there been a better supply of new good qualities. The
Market is firm, but we cannot quote any material alteration
in the currency. In the Refined Market this week the
purchase! are so considerable that the stock is now very
much reduced, and the holders are obtaining a slight ud-
vance, both on the low and the fine goods.—Molasses
rather higher.
