CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.)
SUGAR.—The market is better supplied with Sugars, and
business is rather more brisk. The delivery last week from the
West India Docks exceeded 2,900 casks. The stock to-day is
nearly 35,000 hhds. and 3,400 tree. The export demand for Mau.
ritius is dull, for horno trade a fair business is doing. Foreign
Sugars are not much inquired after ; the demand for the Russia
market has improved. Refined goods ale less inquired after.
CO FFEE.—Although the active demand which has of late ex-
isted in this market has subsided, still prices had not given way
in so great a proportion as might be expected, recollecting the
recent great advance. Coloury middling Jamaicas arc from
to 745. Good and fine ordinary 625. 6d. to 675. Middling Berbice
and Demerara 72.5. to 7Ss. per cwt.
RUM.—The Government contract for 100,000 gallons of Rum
has been taken this afternoon for the use of the navy. Business
is, in consequence, suspended. The contract price has not yet
transpired. The last contract was taken in May, for 100,000 gal-
lons, at a fraction under Is. 7d. per gallon. It is understood that
the present contract has been taken nn Bever term*. There has
been a good deal doing in the market. The export demand has
been particularly brisk, and not less than 583 puncheons were de-
livered last week for shipment. For the home trade about 350
puncheons were delivered from the West India docks. The
stock this morning is about :.N,BOO puncheons and 2,600 hhds.
The BRANDY Market is heavy ; first mark is quoted from
4s. 4d. to 4s. 6d. per gallon, and the second marks from 3s. GI. to
4s, per gallon.
SBICES.—The del-.and for Spices is steady, and prices are
pretty firm.
SALTPETRE.—This market remains in a most inactive
state—the probable settlement of the Thlgic question has checked
thespeculativedemand, which existed at the recent sale at the East
India House.
DlGo.—The demand is unusually flat.
SILK.—The declaration by the East Imila Company of 2,h00
bales of Bengal, has rather incr6so the depresion in the Silk
market, although it is less by 200 bales than the last declaration.
OILS.The news respecting the success in the fisheries, has
rendered the markets dull at the prices last quoted.
BALTIC PRODUCE.—The Tallow market is again lower,
the price not be,ng quoted above 395. per cwt. The large arrivals
have produced many sales. The stock is 6,soocasks.qh.e. delivery
last week was 2,600 casks.—There is little, doing in 14c,mp or Flax,
