MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London Net, Price Current of yesterday.)
SVGA lhasThe Sugar Market had a languid appearance last ;
week, and there was a general anticipation of lower pric. 5, on
account of the eagerness of the holders to effect sales on the
Muscovades being landed, and the importers of Mauritius Mme_
diately advertising large cargoes for early public sales ; the con-
sequence was, that the buyers bought on a limited scale, and
only for their immediate use; yet, notwithstanding these cir-
cUmstances so much against the market, the estimated sales of
the week were nearly 3,000 hhtle: and trs,, and, taking into cal.
eulation the large purchases of Mauritius, the quantity of Sug..r
sold last week was very extensive. The low brown descriptions
are very dull, and are difficult of sale. Nearly all the good and
fine Muscovades have been cleared off the market, and the
buyers still reported hi be without stock. There is a change in
the stock of Sugar, it is now 2,085 hhds. and trs. less than last
year; the deliveries are 2,847 hhds, and trs. last week, being 357
more than the corresponding week of 1828. The market opened
heavily this morning, and as there was a very indifferent show of
good Sugar, the buyers evinced little inclination to purchase.
At the close of the market, the estimated sales this day, includ-
ing 124 hhds. Barbadoes at public sale, were 700 hhds. and trs. ;
the prices are unvaried; the Barbadoes sold at full prices 565. 6d.
a 138 s. 6d.-In the Refined Market last week there was great lan-
guor, but without producing any farther reduction in the prices;
several parcels of Lumps were taken for crushing, there were also
buyers at low prices, where Lumps were offering at any reduc-
tiOn ; and for mid. qualities there was also some demand. The
small accumulation of the stock of fine Hamburgh Loaves had
an unfavourable effect on the market; the sales for the home
trade were limited : several parcels of Crushed were disposed of
at low prices. Molasses were unvaried. In the Refined Market
this afternoon there was no alteration.
FOREIGN SUGARS.-The only sales of Foreign Sugars by
private contract are 100 chests good strong white Pernams, 355.
a 375. By public sale on Friday, 184 hhds. 323 bits. Porto Rico,
104 chests Brazil Sugars ; nearly the whole of the Brazil Sugars
were taken in. The Porto Rico.was low and in bad condition,
but with some colour ; chiefly taken in 3s. a 4s. under British
Plantation Sugar, and 105. lower than the last public sale ; the
prices were 13s. a 225. fki. By public sale this day, 120 chests
103 brls. Pernambuco Sugr, the white 30s. a 335., yellow Ilk. a
225. ; the great proportion was washed.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.-At public sales, last Tuesday,
above 18,600 bags Mauritius Sugars were brought forward; there
was a general reduction of 2s. in the prices. Nearly the whole
sold-Yellow, fine, 615.; good, 555. a 58s. ; low, 515. a 546.; Brown,
low to fine, 475. a 51s.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.-The only sales last week were
small parcels fine Dominica at 245. and mid. Demerara at 21s.
COFFEE.-The great proportion of the new arrivals of Ja-
maica Coffee brought forward last week were again fine ordinary
to middling, for which there appears to be little demand, and the
great proportion was again taken in ; fine ordinary small bean
Havannah sold 375. 6d. a 395., good ordinary coloury Porto Rico
38s. ; 204 bags good ordinary St. Domingo were offered, but they
were of an old import, and sold without re-weighing, they were
taken in at 35k. By public sale this day 56 casks Jamaica, 270
bags Batavia, 214 bags damaged Brazil ; the latter affords little
criterion of the market prices. All the good Coffee was taken
in; fine ordinary Jamaica at V:s. middling at 545,; good ordi-
nary Batavia at 355. ; the damaged Brazil, bit class, sold 335.
a Xis. 6d.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.-Towards the close of
last week the Rum Market again became heavy, and some proofs,
and a little under, sold at the lowest prices; the only other sale of
Rum was a parcel of Jamaica, 28 over, at 3s. fid. Brandies were
steady; the public sale went off at full Market prices. In Geneva
few sales are lately reported.
I ND I GO.-The Indigo Market has become very heavy ; the sales
are confined to small parcels, for which a premium of 2cl. a 4d. per
lb. on the late East India sale was obtained. This day by public
sale 786 serons Caraccas, Flora, middling 6s. 9d. a 7s. 3d. ; Sobre,
good, ss. 9d. a 6s. 9d., inferior, ss. 3d. a ss. Pd. ; Cortes, 3s. 6d. a ss.
The great proportion sold at previous Market prices, of which a
considerable part was for export. The sale went off better than
expected. The second sale, on account of the late hour, was post-
poned till to-morrow; it consists of 305 serons Guatemala.
TEA.-Boheas have again advanced %Ad. per lb. ; a° other alte-
ration in the Market.
IRISH PROVISIONS.-ln Beef and Pork there is no altera-

tion.—Butters remain very nominal.
COTTON.—The Cotton Market is steady; the purchases for
the week ending last night are too trivial for insertion.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The Tallow Market has
been firm, and considerable sales had been reported, the prices are
a shade higher. In Hemp and Flax there is a small decline.
SALTPETRE.—SaItpetre is firm, and rather higher. Last
week, at public sale, 53 casks sold at 255. lid, a 265.
OlLS.—There is little alteration in Oils, except in Linseed,
which is ss. higher, on account of the scarcity of seed.
FRUlT.—There was rather more inquiry for Fruit last week ;
the forced sale of 10,000 boxes Valentia Raisins at 405., being ex-
cessively low, attracted the attention of buyers.
HOPS —ln consequence of the continuance of cold weather, a
demand for Hops on speculation has appeared, and sales of the
fine have been made 6s. a fis. higher.
TOBACCO.—The sales last week are about 500 hhds. ; the
great proportion Stripts 3d. a 4d.
RICE.—In Rice few sales have been effected; the market eon.
tinues heavy.
