MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Prise Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The Sugar Market was in A very depressed state all
the last week ; the purchases did not exceed 1,900 hhds, and trs.
The prices of mid. and low brown Muscovades haft fallen fully 2s.
per cwt. within the last two weeks; the fine qualities, being
scarce, support the former currency. The stock to-day is 2,021
hhds. and trs. more than in 1828. The deliveries last week were
2,694 hhds. and trs., being rather more than in the corresponding
week of last year. The deliveries of East India Sugars are 6,600
bags less than during the same week in 1828. The two ships ar-
rived from the Mauritius bring 17,000 bags of Rice, in place of
Sugar cargoes, which we have repeatediy stated will be found so
deficient both in quantity and quality. The arrival excited some
interest in the Sugar Market this morning. The estimate of Mus-
covades sold this day is 400 hhds. and trs. ; the show is still very
indifferent. The Refined Sugar Market was very languid during
the last week. The Refined Market was very heavy this after-
noon; brown Lumps offered 6d. lower, but there is very little
doing ; good large 745. to 755. ; good small 765. 6d. to 775.
Loaves are 6d. lower ; fine goods are neglected ; crushed for the
Mediterranean are offered on rather lower terms than last week.—
Molasses rather lower.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—There were no sales of Foreign Sugars
last week. There were inquiries after fine white Brazil, but no
parcels were offering ; there was some demand for Havannah
Sugars, but no purchases of any extent were reported. By public
sale 612 chests of Havannah Sugar, chiefly washed; also 194
chests of Bahia, the latter sold at former rates ; brown 18s. a
21s. ; white 295. a 345. ; the white sold high. The yellow
strong and fine Havannah 28s. 6d. a 30s. • fine white 435. 6d. ;
Havannah Sugars have fallen nearly in the same proportion as
Brazil, but all were washed, and the decline difficult to ascertain.

or East India Sugars last week worth reporting. By public sales
this day, 1,061 bags white Bengal Sugar, fine white, 355. a 6d. ;
