MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of April 12.)
SUGAR.—The market for West India Muscevadoes Sugar
has presented a more lively appearance since this day week ;
from both grocers and refiners the demand has been good, and
the prices paid have been 6d per cwt above those of this day
week for all qualities.
To-day several inquiries existed for West India Sugar, both
for the scale and pan, and most of the parcels on show found
cady buyers, at an advance on the rates of Friday of 6d per
cwt. Indeed, the supply of Sugar at market is not ample for
the wants of the trade, and the want of an assortment pre-
vented the execution of some orders. The purchases are 450
hhds and trs, being nearly all on show. Jamaica common dark
brown fetched 6,:s 6d per cwt.
REFINED—Since Tuesday last the demand has been exten-
sive for Refined Sugar for home consumption, and advanced
rates have been paid.

To day Refined Goods were in good request, and prices are
firm ; Standard lumps at 81s 6d per cwt. Treacle met with a
free sale at 27s to 325. Of Bastards and pieces large parcels
were sold, fully supportive, the rates above quoted. For seve-

ordinary were made at 79; to 80s, and fine ordinary 82s to

vented, owing to the want of a supply, and the small parcels
offering were disposed of at an advance corresponding
with that of Ce)lon. Foreign and Cape Coffee have met with
a dull demand, in consequence of Sir Robert Peel stating that
he cannot alter his original project as regards the duty, which
he proposes to be Sd per lb ; prices for these sorts of Coffee
have become nominal.
