MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

SUGAR.—The Sugar Market during the week has been
rather languid ; the purchases are more limited than
usual, but no general reduction in the price can be stated ;
the estimated sales are 2,200 hhds. and trs. At the
close of the day the prices of all the middling descriptions
of Sugar must again be stated fully Is. lower during the
week ; the low brown and fine rate now higher in pro-
portion than the middling qualities. Trinidad and other
Sugars a little coloury, sold at 465., and fair yellow at
481. In the Refined Market there is little alteration this
week; the inferior lumps are again a shade lower; the
grocers only purchase small parcels fur their immediate
wants. The export to the north of Europe is nearly sus-
pended, as the accounts from Hamburg and Holland state
the frost had set in severely. We quote inferior lumps 6d.
a Is. lower than last week; the other descriptions arc un-
varied. Molasses in demand, and 6d. higher.
EAST INDI♦ SUGAR.—There has been more demand
for East India Sugars, and the advance of Is. a Is. 6d.
on the late India House sale has been more freely realized.
Siro{ll parcels of Mauritius and Siam Sugars early in the
week realized full prices at public sale. This day 2,812
bags Mauritius were offered, only a middling pareel of
Sugar, the whole sold readily at very full prices.
FOREIGN SUGAR.—In Foreign Sugar no sales were re-
ported this week.
COFFEE.—The quantity of Coffee brought forward this
week has been very limited, being confined to the British
Plantation descriptions; the good quality clean suitable
for the home trade, has gone off at full prices, and the
fine rather higher, but all the unclean and inferior quali-
ties were very dull, and the great proportion was taken
in. There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon ;
purchasers of Brasil still appear, good ord. about 325. 6d.
RUM, BRANDY, AND Her.LAxDs.—There have been
large sales of fine Jamaica Rum, about 600 puns. in 10
days, 2s. 10d. a 3s. 4d. ; the purchases of Leeward*.
hare been 16 over at ls. 10d., and 8 over at Is. 9d. ;
proofs and over at Is. Bd. In Brandy or Genera there is
no alteration.

llF_str, FLAX, AND TA r,Low.-The Tallow Market
early in the week had the appearance of firmness. Several
vessels with Tallow had been lost, and some ships were
expected to be shut in for the winter at Peteriburgh ;'
the market has since rather given way. Hemp is firm.
Flax little varied.
IRISH PRovisroxs.-There is no alteration in Beef or
Pork,-Butters are more in demand, on account of the
cold weather, and the fine Carlow in particular, on ac-
count of the severe frost in Holland; the chief purchases
lately have been in the inferior descriptions of Irish. In
Bacon there is little alteration.
TOBACCO.-About 200 hhds. ord. Tobacco have been
sold, but the prices have not transpired.
TEA.-The sale finished this day ; fine Twankays sold
dearer than last sale, other kinds much the same ; Hysons
from 2d. to 44. per lb. higher. Twankays, common, 2s.
lid. a 2s. 3d. ; good, 2s. 3id. a 2s. sd. ; fine, 2s. 7id.
a 3s. 84. ; Hyson Skin, 2s. lid. a 3s. 54. ; Hyson, com-
mon, 3s. 9d. a 3s. 11d. ; middling, 4s. id. a 4s. 84. ;
fine, 4s. 114. a ss. 11p.
SPICES.-There is more demand for Spices, but no
actual sales to any extent are yet reported.
COTTON.-The Cotton Market is steady, but there is
no briskness in the trade. The purchases for the week
ending last 'dela inclusive, consist of 1,610 Surat, 3i-d. a
111. ; 10 Bourbon, 711. ; 20 Madras, sitl. ; 30 Bowed,
sd. ; 110 Bengal, 3id. a 411. The letters from Liver-
pool this morning state the Cotton Market heavy, and th
prices rather lower.
SALTPETRE.-There is more demand for Saltpetre; the
prices are without variation.
RICE.-In Rice there is no alteration. This day 1,000
bags good fair Bengal 9s. 6d. a 10s. 611.
Isna-to.-Thete are few sales of East India Indigo to
report ; the market is unvaried. The next sale, it is ex-
pected, will consist of 5,000 to 6,000 chests, only a small
proportion is yet declared. The accounts from Calcutta
direct, arc to the 11 th July, the Indigo crop, it is sup-
posed, would be an average ; the general estimate 100,000
inaunds ; but a letter through Bombay, of the 18th of
July, states there were considerable fears entertained re-
specting the whole crop. The public sale of 170 serons
Guatemala Indigo yesterday, sold about Sd. to 6d. loWer,
about one-h ilf of the quantity was disposed of.
