MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

SUGAR.—The Sugar Market continues firm and im-
proving ; the demand general and extensive ; the sales
this week exceed 1,000 lihds. and tcs. each day ; the
prices are gradually improving, though no marked advance
since last Friday can be stated. The transactions in low
goods are so extensive that all parcels are taken off freely
when they appear on sale, and parcels to be ready in two
or three weeks are also contracted for at the Market prices ;
on account of the scarcity of low goods the buyers have
taken large parcels of the better descriptions ; in prices
there is little variation. Molasses steady. At the close
of the Market to-day Refined goods may be stated 6d. to
ls. per cwt. higher during this week.
FOREIGN SUGAR.—.-By public sale the only parcel of
white Havannah Sugar at this Market was offered, it con-
sisted of 1,060 chests, for which there was considerable
competition ; middling white 465. a 48s. ; good 48s. 6d.
a 495. 6d. ; the damaged, 140 chests, sold very low in
proportion to the sound, 375. a 445. 6d. Another parcel
of white Havannah may be expected on sale next week ;
the stock of yellow is about 9,000 chests ; there is no
variation in the prices of the latter ; no purchases reported.
There were inquiries after good white Brazil and strong
good browns, but our stock consists of only very soft qua-
lities, of which there have been no sales this week.
EAST INDIA BUG AR. —There have been considerable
inquiries for East India Sugars this week, but no exten-
sive sales. The Mauritius Sugar on Tuesday, 2,300 bags
went off with much briskness at full prices. This day
834 bags Manilla, 470 bags Siam Sugar ; the latter good
fair white sold 30s. a 315., damp 275. a 28s. 6d., the for-
mer good grey strong 30s. a 31s.
CorFEE.—The public sales this week have been incon-
siderable, and, as the demand has been general and exten-
sive, the whole of the British Plantation sold at prices is.
a 2s. higher. The great proportion of Jamaica offered
this week was ordinary to good ordinary, which sold at the
advance above stated. In consequence of the few public
sales, there were more inquiries by private contract, and
considerable parcels of East India Coffee are reported to
have changed hands at a small advance. This day, at
public sales, 2,838 bags East India, chiefly Sumatra, 340
casks 387 bags British Plantation, and 998 bags La
Guayra. Jamaica Coffee again sold at a further advance
of Is. a 2s. ; all the other Coffees are steady ; old fine
ordinary La Guayra taken in, 345. 6d. offered ; good Che-
ribon sold at 355. 6d. I Sumatra sold 295. 6d. a 31s. 6d.
Rom, BRANDY, eND BOLLARDS. —The Rum Market,
which became dull early in the week, on account of the
fall in Corn, has again the appearance of some firmness ;
the purchases this week are on a very limited scale.
Brandy is more firm, on account of the favourable reports
of the French Market. Geneva is unvaried. The con-
tract with Government for 50,000 gallons of Rum was
taken this afternoon at Is. 94d. per gallon.
Ons.—Oils are firm at the late advance, and there are
considerable transactions reported.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market,
which has been declining for some time on account of the
