MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

St:cals.—The demand for West India Muscovades has
rather revived this week ; the purchases have been more
extensive than usual, but there is no improvement in the
prices. The estimated sales this week are 3,000 hhds.
and tees., and there have been few sales to-day on account
of the darkness. In the Refined Market there is little
variation ; the demand for the Mediterranean was not
quite so brisk. The request for low Lu:nps continues very
limited. The grocers purchase the fine goods for the
home consumption in small parcels only for immediate
use. At the close of the day there has been rather more
business in low Lumps for packing for the Hamburg Mar-
ket, but at 6d. to Is. lower prices than were quoted last
week, 71s. to '7ls. 6d. being the prices at which several
parcels have been sold, and which continue to he offered ;
small Lumps and law single Loaves aho continue to be
taken off freely, the buyers of crushed for the Mediterra-
nean having continued their purchases, but no improve-
ment in the prices can be noticed ; fine Powder and Ham-
burg Loaves (for the Double Refined bounty) have been
in rather less demand, and one or two parcels have been
sold at. a trifling reduction ; the fine grocery descriptions
have been taken off rather more freely ; Molasses lower.
FOREIGN SUGARS. —The advanced season of the year
prevents all export demand for the Northern Ports;
some inquiries are made fur the Mediterranean, but no ac-
tual purchases to any extent are reported; about 30 chests
soft brown Rio are taken for shipping at I Ss. 6d., and a
small parcel low white Peruams for Refining at 265.

244,505. The premium of ls. a Is. 6d. continues to be
paid for the last India House Sugar sa►e, and in some
instances 2s. obtained.

COFFEE. —The public sales of Coffee this week have
been inconsiderable, consisting of small parcels of British
Plantation descriptions; the whole have sold with rather
more spirit, and with a small improvement in the prices.
The public sale advertised for to-day has teen withdraws,
on account of the impossibility of inspecting the samples,
the fog being so dense. Some Brazil has been sold, good
ord. at 325. 6d.

has been very dull all the week ; the sales are confined to
small parcels of Leewards, a little above proof, at Is. 9d,
Brandy and Geneva are without alteration.

been more firm this week, and the prices have been gra-

FRUIT.—The very low price at which old Currants sold
on Thursday week by public sale attracted the attention of
both the grocers and exporters, and they were taken off
very freely at the sale prices, viz. Gas. On Tuesday„ how-

day the remainder has been sold at that price, making
the prestmt quotation 675, New Cuirmts continue to be
