MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(rrotti tlfe London New Price Current of Jan. 21.)

SUGAR.—To-day the rnaritet presented a flat appear-
ance for British Plantation Sugar, !Et demand was
limited for the scale and pan, and the rates accePfea
rather those of Friday for brown, grey, inferior and
middling yellow, but for the better kinds of the latter,
merbflants ter err.bled to obtain the previous cur•
rency, in consequence dr the short supply in the
market. At public sale 117 hhtls tts Datbadoes were
disposed of at full rates for fine, but all othet kinds
went 6d to is per .cwt cheaper, low sold at [as 6d to
53s Bd, middling 55s 6d to 535, good 60s to 61s 6d, Vied
middlidg 58s 6d to 595, and fine 66s 6d per cwt. The
total purchases are only 350 hhds and tierces.
REFINED.—To-day there was only a limited demand
for Refined goods from the home trade ; brown lumps
are 71s to 71s 6d, and standard lumps 72s 6d per cwt.
For Treacle prices have fallen ; boiled from West India
aelling at 20s to 20s 6d ; patent 21s to 22s 6d, and

and washed 44s to 575, middling brown Rio 41s to 425,
and damp 41s to 425, dry coloury grey 60s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—There has been no public sale of any de-
scription of Foreign Sugar since this day week, and
holders still manifest firmness. There has been less
enquiry for yellow Havannah, but for the small
parcels disposed of by private treaty former rates
have been obtained, and there is no inclination
at present on the part of importers to press sales ;
yellow is held for 20s to 235, and brown 18s to 19s per
cwt ; there are, however, several purchasers rather
under these rates. White has been taken sparingly.
For all descriptions of Brazil former quotations are sus-
tained, and brown is wanted, principally by our re-
finers. Bahia has fetched 17s to 19s per cwt. Other
sorts of Foreign are not much wanted, but in the value
no variation has taken place.
MoLAssEs—This afternoon at public sale 132 puns
2 hhds, and 24 big, Demerara Molasses were nearly all
taken in at 21s to 22s per cwt for good quality, being
moderate rates.

COFFEE.—There bas been little inclination manifested
by the home trade to purchase West India Coffee since
last Tuesday. Although the market has been sparingly
supplied, yet difficulty was experienced in obtaining
previous rates for small parcels by private contract ;
only 19 casks 17 brls were partly sold by public sale.
This afternoon the demand for Ceylon Coffee was not
so good, but holders were firm, and 1,140 leags at public
sale were taken in at the full value, viz. good ordinary
pale at 525, and very good ordinary rather green 525.
Of Manilla 1,200 bags sold, partly for home consumption
and exportation at 36s to 39s per cwt. Mocha is offer-
ing privately at a further reduction in prices.
TEA.—There has been little activity in the market,
but black or green Tea cannot be purchsed upon lower
terms. Eor Congon former rates are insisted upon,
common is 1 I d to 1 lid, and good common 111 d to Is per
lb. In Pouchong there has, however, been a fair busi-
ness at 7d to 10d per lb, and a favourable opinion is en-
tertaiued towards this kind of Tea. Hyson is unal-
tered in value ; common is 2s 7d to 2s Bd, mid to good
2s 9d to 3s, and superior from 3s 2d to 4s 6d per lb.
For Twankay of common quality the offers made are
such as holders are not inclined to accept, yellow leaf is
worth Is 21d to Is 31d, british leaf, is 4d to is 9d, and
Hyson kind is 10d to 2s 5d per lb. Imperial and Gun-
powder are fully as high as last quoted, but there is a
pause in the demand. For fine scented Orange Pekeo
3s 4d per lb is readily obtained.
SPICES.—To-day Sumatra Pepper met with attention,
and 2,299 bags at auction were all sold at full rates, hall
heavy clean selling at 2id to 2 d ; fine light 21d to
; sea damaged, first class 2id to 2id ; second ditto
; third class 2d ; ditto and repacked 2*d. White
was little called for, and 286 bags at public sale were
nearly all taken in at 5d to sid for good mid, and 44d
for mid, being moderate rates.
Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—lmporters of Ja-
maica Rum for the most part are not inclined to sub-
mit to any further decline in prices, and the home trade
are cautious in their proceeding ; small parcels have
been sold, 28 to 30 per cent overproof common
and middling quality at 3s 6d to 3s Bd, better
32 to 36 over 3s 9d to 4s 2d, fine 4s 4d to 5s
per gallon. In Leewards purchases to a fair ex-
tent made at 2s 2id to 2s 3d per gallon, proof strength.
Calcutta Rum 2s to 2s Id per gallon, is the value of
proof with certificate. In Demerara only a limited
business has been done, but prices are not lower, and 3s
to 3s 3d is the worth of strong qualities. Holders of
Brandy still manifest firmness. Cognac, best brands of
the vintage of 1838 hhds 5s 3d puns 5s Id ; ditto, 1839,
hhds ss, puns 4s 10d; ditto 1840, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d; ditto
1841, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 9d; ditto, 1842, hhds 4s Bd,
puns, 4s 6d; ditto, 1843, hhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d, common
2s 8d to 2s 11d, middling to good middling 3s to 3s 10d,
and Bordeaux 2s fid to 2s 9d per gallon. Geneva is firm
in price, export at is 9d to is 10d, and fine for home con-
sumption 2s 4d to 3s 6d. English Corn Spirits at lOs 2d
per gallon, cash.
RlCE—Although there are sellers of Bengal at the re-
duced rates previously noticed, still the demand by pri-
vate contract, has been limited for home consumption
and shipping ; mid white at lOs 6d to I ls, and good mid
lls to lls 6d per cwt, none has been offered at auction.
Madras of yellow quality is still wanted, at auction the
sound of 1,000 bags was taken in above the value—that is,
good yellow at 10s, yellowish white Bengal kind 10s 6d,
damaged sold at 8s to 9s 6d per cwt. Java is dull of sale.
Patna is 13s 6d to 17s per cwt.

FRUlT—Currants are still much wanted, and an ex-
tensive business has been transacted since our report of
Tuesday last ; Zante new has been fetching 49s ; Patras
50s to 52s ; Valentia, Raisins are 50s. Red Smyrna
Rasins, at 45s to 46s per cwt.
INDIGO.—The market has an improvinz appearance
for East India Indigo, and the demand at the quarterly
stile which commenced to-day far exceed the ex-
pectations of many parties, the low prices decidedly
attracting attention. Of the quantity avertised,
7,474 chests, 3,656 only were Bengals, the re-
mainder consisting ( f Oudes, Madras, Kurpabs,
and Manillas. The biddings were very brisk, and the
competition very animated, especially for the qualities
fit fur shipping, which from their scarcity brought an
advance of 2d to 4d per lb on the prices of the last sale;
the same observation applies to good and fine consum-
ing qualities. Ordinary and low sorts of Bengals and
Kurpabs were also in good demand at the October sale's
rates, whilst regular Madras were comparatively
neglected, at a discount of 2d to 4d; 929 chests have
passed the sale, of which 228 were bought in. Bengal
Indigo sold from 2s 4d to 5s sd, Madras 2s 2d to 3s 6d,
and Kurpah 2s 5d to 3s 5d per lb. Indigo at alai under
3s per lb is worth attention.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal was in excel-
lent request, at public sale 94 bags of Honduras and
20 bags of Vera Cruz were offered, the whole sold at an
advance on former rates of ld per lb. Honduras com-
mon silver fetched 4s 6d to 4s 7d, middling to good
4s 8d to 4s 9d ' • Mexico fair to good black, 4s Ild to
5,s 2d, and one Silver 4s 7d per lb.
-SALTPETRE—To-day an increased desire was mani-
fested' to purchase Rough. 1,000 bags of Calcutta were
offered at auction, and all sold at fully former rates, or-
dinary grey 101 per cent. refraction sold at 25s to 25s
6d; 84 per cent ditto 25s 6d to 265; 54 per cent middling
grey 375; fine white very bold chrystal 4- per cent 27s
6d ty 28s; si per cent, ditto, 28s ; unretracted 20s to
25s ; washed 22s to 255; washed and shifted 20s to
21s 6d ; per cwt. The market has a firm appearance.
OILS.—The supply is still increasing of Sperm Oil, and
a further decline in prices has taken place; of 150 tuns
at auction a part only sold at 80/ to 8415 s for Oil, and at
831 5s to 841 per tun for Headmatter. For all sorts
of common Fish Oils the home trade have pur-
chased sparingly, and for exportation there are
few orders--Cod has been selling privately at 291 10s
to 301 Seal. Pale 32! lOs to 331, yellow 301 to 31, Straw
311 to 32/, brown 281 to 29/. At auction 100 tuns were
only in part sold at 29115 s to 321 for Southern, and at
271 to 29/ for Elephant Oil, being 20s to 30s
per tun under the rates of the last auc•
tions. Linseed Oil has been in excellent request at
23s 6d to 23s 9d on the spot, and at 24s to 24s 6d per
cwt for forward delivery, at which the crushers are firm.
Rape, many parcels have been sold at firm rates; Pale at
36s to 36s 6d, and brown 35s to 35s 6d per cwt. Cocoa
Nut Oil, fine Ceylon has fetched 27s 6d to 28s, and good
26s 6d to 27s per cwt. Holders show firmness. Olive Oil,
Gallipoli at 421 to 431, Spanish 411. to 421, Sicily 411.;
Barbary and Levant 39!. to 40/. per tun. Of Palm se-
veral parcels sold, and 25s to 26s per cwt paid for good

TALLOW.—A decline in the value of all kinds has oc-
curred ; 453 pkgs of South American selling at 35s 6d
to 38s 3d for fair to fine quality, 245 casks of New
South Wales 35s to 40s, 138 casks of first sort

csks of North, 150 csks of South American, 100 casks of
St. Petersburgb, and 150 casks 20 tons of Colonial
Tallow are declared. Holders of Russian are still
anxiour sellers on the spot, but submitting to a
further reduction in prices occasioned the demand to
be good, and 39s 6d to 39s 9d are the current
rates taken for P Y Candle of fine quality. There are
sellers for forward delivery upon low terms, yet at
present few buyers are to be met with ; 40s per cwt is
the quotations for the last three months of the year.

has been taken by Mr. J. D. Francis, preparatory to a
bust, which is understood to be in course of preparation.
