MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Match 7.)

SUGAR—To-day the market for nearly all descriptions of
raw Sugar presented a firmer appearance, and the trade en-
tertained a better opinion towards the article. There was
rather more business transacted in West India Muscovado
Sugar, 130 hhds finding purchasers at prices on a par with
those of Friday last for yellow, but brown kinds are rather
cheaper than at that time. The total purchases for the
week are 330 hhds and tierces.

REFINED.—To-day there was very little demand for home
trade goods, and prices are still declining. Brown lumps, 34
to 40 lbs, may be purchased at 675; middling ditto, 32 to
42 lbs, 68s; good to fine lumps, equal to standard, 70s to 71s;
Tittlers were, 30 lbs, 69s to 775; and Harnburgh Loaves, 9
to 13 lbs, 72s to 80s per cwt. In Loaves there was very little
business done. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale, at 31s
to 31s 3d per cwt.
MAumics.—This afternoon there was a large public sale
of 14,014 bags 14 casks of Mauritius Sugar. There was a
clause in the conditions of sale, that if the reduced duty is
not receivable at the Custom-house on the 14th inst., buyers
at this sale are at liberty to throw up their purchases, but
notices to this effect must be given not later than the 15th
instant, after which they will not be received. There
was a large attendance of the trade, and merchants
being free sellers the whole was disposed of at prices that
averaged those of the previous public sale—some piles how-
ever went 6d to is per cwt cheaper—fine yellow fetched 62a
to 645, good 58s 6d to 61s, good middling 57s 6d to 58s,
middling 55s 6d to 575, low 53s 6d to 54s 6d, good grey 57s
to .58s, low 52s to 535, good and tine brown 52s to 535, washed
52s to 62s 6d, and Syrupy 57s to 59s 64 per cwt—there was
no common brown in the sale.

EAST INDlA.—Bengal has been purchased this week with
caution, but any material decline in the value has been pre-
vented by merchants supplying the market sparingly. This
afternoon Bengal and Madras Sugar met with more atten•
Lion, and the parcels disposed of privately were generally
upon former terms. _

FortriGx.—There are not many purchasers of yellow
Havannah Sugar, but merchants have still confidence and
will not sell but at previous rates, they still refrain from
offering any at public sale—the private purchases are only
350 chests of low yellow of old quality at 19s 6d for expor-
tation, and 500 chests of middling to fine at 20a 6d to 22s 6d
per cwt—there is nothing pressing privately. White has
met with little attention.

A fioatiag cargo of new Bahia has been sold at 24s 6d for
white and 19s 3d for brown, one of old white Bahia 235. and
a cargo of Peniambucco in bags at 19s 6d per cwt, all for a
near port, and small parcels of brown Bahia on the spot at
185 to 19s per cwt for good and fine quality. The business
transacted by private treaty in other kinds of foreign Sugar
has been filly on former terms.
MonassEs.—Although West India may be purchased
upon lower terms, still the business transacted has been ex-
tremely limited in all descriptions this week. Importers are
generally disposed to realise on account of the heavy stock;
not more than 23s per cwt can be obtained for the best, and
and inferior may be purchased at 20s. East India dull of
sale, and may be had upon lower terms.
COCOA.—West India has been purchased with caution by
private treaty, and none has been offered at auction, parcils
could only be disposed of, but at a further decline in prices;
there are few orders for foreign, but the stock being light,
quotations are still kept up.
COIVEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of any
kink of Coffee, a fair amount of business was transacted pri-
vately in good ord Ceylon at 46s 6d to 47s per cwt, and
holders show firmness, Singapore Java met with more atten-
tion, and 500 bags of good ord wore sold at 38s to 39s per cwt.
TEA.—To• day there was a better demand for nearly every
description of Tea, and holders manifested more firmness;
common and good common sound Congou fetched 10d to lld ;
Twankav, yellow leaf, of the late arrivals, Is 3d to Is 34, and
middling to good Hyson of ditto, 2s 9d to 3s per lb.
SPlCES.—Cassia Lignea has been in increased demand, and
although the market has been more liberally supplied, still an
advance of Is to 2s per cwt has taken place. Black Pepper
is little wanted, but holders are not inclined to reduce their
prices. White is dull of sale, and former rates are not obtain-
able. Ginger has met with little attention, and prices are
going down. Although prices rule low for Cinnamon, still
there are few purchasers to be met with. For Nutmegs Trices
keep up. Cloves are little wanted, and parcels could only be
sold but upon lower terms. Mace is little wanted. The
market has again been well supplied with Pimento—the de-
mand has been good, and former rates are well supported.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLAXDS.—The purchases made in
Leeward Island Rum have been extremely limited this
week, although there are sellers upon further reduced terms,
and Is 10d to is I ld per gallon is the value of proof strength.
Demerara strong descriptions 3s to 3s 2d. There has been
scarcely any business transacted in Jamaica for ex-
portation, and the home trade continue to purchase
with much caution. The value of 26 to 36 Of
P. is 3s 4d to 4s, fine 4s 2d to 4s 6d, and very fine high
flavour 5s to 7e per gallon ; of the last mentioned sort there
is little in the market, but all other kinds are plentiful.
