MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

k From the London New Price Current of November 26-)
SUGAR.—Without any apparent cause the market for
British Plantation Sugar remains in a dull state ; both
grocers and refiners have operated with much caution,
the private purchases for the three market days amount-
ing to only 700 hhds and trcs, at prices which show a de-
cline on those of Friday last of 6d per cwt.

To-day importers or West ludi-a Muscovadoes Sugar
manifested firmness, and obtained full rates ; the trade
came forward more freely, and a fail. business was trans-
acted. The purchases for the week are 1,150 hhds and
trcs, the market closing with a healthier appearance.

Sugar, and the demand is good from the Grocers ;
standard lumps selling at 745, and brown Grocery 72s to
72s 6d per cwt. , In other articles there is no variation.

a fair demand' has prevailed. This afternoon there was
no public sale. Yellow sorts were sought after, and in
some case better prices were paid.
EAST INDIA.—For Manilla the demand has been brisk
this week, and an advance in prices has again taken
place. Java has been in increased request at an advance
of Gd to is per cwt. Holders of Bengal have shown firm-
ness, and have refrained from offering any at public sale.
This afternoon some parcels of white Bengal were sold
privately at full rates : none was offered at auction.
