MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovades has been rather
limited this week; the estimated purchases do not exceed
2,500 hlls..and trs. We cannot quote any reduction in
prices, but the Market is excessively dull. The mid. and
low export:goods continue scarce, but there is not such
eagerness in the demand; the prices are without altera-
tion. The fine goods for home consumption continue ne-
glected, and generally all the sales of refined this week have
been on a very limited scale. Molasses very heavy.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.--There is no alteration in Mauri-
tius or East India Sugar. The Market is quiet.
FOREIGN S UGARS. —There have been few transactions
in Foreign Sugars. By public sale this forenoon 246
chests 28 packages Brazil Sugar, and 321 chests Havannah;
of the latter 120 chests were very fine strong yellow Ha-
vannah sold at 30s. 6d. and 31s. mid. 28s. Gd. a SOs. ;
the Brazil all damaged Sugar, and sold excessively low.
COFFEE. —The Coffee Market this week has been very
steady; the demand is more limited, and apparently a lan-
guor about the public sales, but we cannot quote prices
lower. By public sale this forenoon 301 bags damaged
Brazil, 160 trs. 30 brie. 47 bags Jamaica and Demerara
Coffee ; the Foreign was damaged Brazil 31s. 6d. a 325.
6d., the Jamaica sold at full prices, the Demerara and
Berbice taken in. The market to-day has a languid ap-
pearance.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The unexpected
event of the Government contract, declared on Tuesday
last, for 100,000 gallons Rum (about 1,000 puns.) has
little effect on the demand, or on the prices of limn in the
Market ; the sales since are en the most limited scale.
Brandy continues to rise in France, and to be held with
more firmness in London, but the sales this week have
been on a limited scale. In Geneva there is no alteration.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLow.—The Tallow Market has
Wen heavy, and may be stated a shade lower. In Hemp
or Flax there is no material alteration. The letters from
St. Petersburgh are dated Sth inst. Exchange ioa.
One large contract of Tallow reported 10,000 casks at
100 rubles.

Cocoa.—The holders of British Plantation Cocoa,
suitable for the Government contract (100 tons) are firm,
and do not appear anxious to press sales, as the contract
was unexpected, and the quantity large. By Public Sale
on Tuesday 705 bags Brazil,, chiefly damaged, was offered,
the sound sold 17s. and 178. 6d.

RICE. —There is no alteration :in the prices of Rice;
the market is very languid.
SncEs.—There is no alteration in Spices. The ad-
vance of Nutmegs is maintained. This day 430 bags
Pimento sold at full prices, the beat at 7id.
SA LTPETRE. —The demand for Saltpetre is more limited ;
there is little variation in the prices.
FRUIT.-The remainder of a cargo of very fine Patras
Currants, that has been held some time for 865., has been
sold at 78s. (butts and caroteels), but otherwise very little
has been done.

Ton_a•cco.---:There is an increase in the inquiries after
Tobacco, but the sales are as yet chiefly for the home trade,
good leaf and strips.

INDIGO.—The inspection of the Indigo continues, the
sale appears to be unexceptionable as to quality. There
is no new feature in Indigo; the late sales are on the most
limited scale.

COTTON.—The Cotton Market continues steady; the
late Bales for export have been rather on an extensive
