THE LONDON MARKETS, November 25.
Sugar. The market is firm and rising. There is a demand for Bengals, but no extensive sales are reported.
Coffee-In East-India, no alteration.
Tea. The Company's December is expected to be preceded and followed by large sales of free trade teas. The consumption has been going on very freely, and the market has generally assumed a firm aspect, a great proportion of the tea bought in at the October sale having been since taken by the trade.
Wool. The public sales of Colonial and other wools, which commenced on the 10th inst., finished on the 14th; the quantity put up was 3,300 bales New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land wool, and 1,000 bales Spanish, German, Russi Lambs and other sorts. The sales were numerously attended; the number of buyers present exceeded any former occasion. There was great animation throughout, and the whole quantity brought forward sold with great briskness; the finer descriptions of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land wool fully maintained the prices of the last sales in September; the lower descriptions went at an advance of 2d. to 3d. per ib. in consequence of the great demand for low wool.
Indigo.-The following is Messrs. Patry and Pasteur's report of the result of the October public sales of indigo, of 8168 chests, which presented the following assortment:-700 chests good and fine shipping qualities; 2,170 ditto middling to good ditto; 2,277 ditto fine consumers and ordinary shipping ditto; 1,891 ditto ordinary to good consuming qualities; 400 ditto up country and Oude ordinary consumers: 500 ditto ordinary and very low sorts; 105 ditto ordinary and fine dust; 53 ditto Madras; 52 ditto Kurpah; 20 ditto Prussian blue.
Although prices at the July sales were considered very moderate, and more than an average business was transaeted between the sales at fair prices, chiefly for the Russian market; the late period fixed for this sale, and the very large quantity put up, led to a general expectation that the July prices could not be kept up; under these unfavourable circumstances the sale began, and on the first day, ordinary and middling qualities chiefly adapted for the home trade, sold briskly at last sale's prices, whilst good and fine shipping sorts were rather heavy at a discount of 3d to 4d per lb.; from the second day, however, the biddings for these sorts became more animated, and although Proprietors fairly met the buyers, several marks of consuming and shipping qualities averaged last sale's prices. The sale proceeded briskly at those rates until its close, with the only exception of the goods bought in at former sales and put up again in this, which, although put on the same footing as new goods by their being sold at re-weights, still laboured under a sort of prejudice.
The quantity of Madras in the sale was, as it has been for many sales past, unusually small, and the stock of that descriptipn being reduced to the smallest ebb, they soid with great spirit at an advance of 3d. to 4d. on the July sale's rates.
The most important feature in this sale is the very large portion which has been sold: it is calculated that 3,500 chests were taken for shipping, and the same quantity for home use, 600 chests only having been bought in by the Proprietors.
A parcel of 20 chests of Prussian Blue, imported by the Mary from Calcutta, and reported as indigo, was put up, and bought in at the nominal price of 6d. per lb., there having been no bid for it."
