CITY MARKETS-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

Svc/tn.—The market for British Plantation Sugars
has been very active this week, though yesterday and this
morning not quite so much has been done. The refiners
and grocers are buying at prices full Is. per cwt. higher
than those realised before the holidays. Fine Sugars are
saleable at even a greater improvement. Good brown is
from 475. to 495. Good Sugar, from 51s. to 61s. and
tine qualities from 60s. to 61s. per cwt.
The stork in hand at the end of the year was 35,863
hhds., and 3,233 tees. and barrels, against 39,761 hhds.
and 3,308 tees., &c., OR the commencement of last year.
In FOREIGN SUGARS there is not much doing. The
stocks are less than at this period last year. Prices are
steady. In E,st India Sugars there is more business
doing. Mauritius Sugars may be quoted Is. per cwt.
higher. There have been imported within the last ten
days about 20,000 bags, nearly 15,000 of which are Ma-
nillas. The stock of Mauritius, at the close of the year,
was 20,217 bags, being 1,800 bags less than that at the
end of 1529, notwithstarriing the large imports in last
year, which exceeded those of 1820 by 144,000 bags.
The imports of Mauritius, last year, into the port of Lon-
don, were 359,596 bags.
The prices of IbtrINED SUGARS have advanced, large
lorops are at 635., and ordinary small 61s. per cwt.
Finer qualities are scarce and may be quoted ls. per cwt.
dearer. No contracts have yet been made for spring deli-
very, the refiners asking an advance of 2s. per cwt.
COFFEE.—A favourable opinion is entertained of this
article, it being expected that the stocks in Europe at the
end of last year Ivill prove less than at the close of 1829.
Here the stock is less by 500 tons than at this period last
year. Brazil Coffees are in demand. Coloury sorts at 355.
to 365. per cwt., and fine at 375. East India is not so
brisk. Mocha is at 6Ss. to 755., and Sumatra ordinary
at 275. to 30F. per cwt.
Roam.--Purchases have been made of Jamaicas for
home use at 2s. Id. for 30 per cent. over proof, and at
2s. 9d. to 2a. Ild. per gallon for 33 per cent. over proof.
Fine sorts arc scarce. Leewards are very firm at the pre-

vious prices.
TEAS.--Large chests of Bohea may be had at Id. per
lb. discount on last sale prices. The demand is slack
owing to the high prices given at the last declaration.
SALTPETRE.-This article is heavy at 364. per cwt.
In SPICES there is little doing.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

It will be perceived that Bras de Fer has retrograded a point-
-15 to 1 was laid just at the close, but the average offers finished
at 14 to 1 ; at half a point above this Coiwick was backed, and
to 1 were the ors agst Filagree, so that it would be difficult
to say which is first favourite Blunder rises, and Cobweb is
likely to spring before many days are gone. Caleb, Iltemus,
liatler, and Bohemian, were out of favour. Nothing whatever
done on the Riddlesworth or St. Leger. I`.'e subjoin the closing
