CITY MARKETS—TWO O'CLOCK.

In consequence of the Easter holydays, the SUGAR and
other Colonial Markets will remain closed during the
greater part of the week; but few public sales have been
declared. A few sales of Sugar have been made by pri-
vate contract at rather better prices. Business is expected
to become more brisk on Friday, as there will be an in-
creased quantity of British Plantation on show, the
arrivals being now more numerous. The deliveries last
week from the West India Docks were 1,125 hhds. and
36 trees., and the stock there is now lower than it has
been for some years, viz. only 4,100 hhds. Brown Ja-
maicas are steady at 525. ; and fine at 565. to 60s. per
cwt. In Mauritius there is no variation; brown samples
are taken at full prices. In Foreign and Refined Sugars
there has been nothing done.
The COFFEE Market at the close of last week was rather
more firm; nothing has been done to-day.
Rum Atm BRANDY.-Tbe export demand is rather
better--the deliveries last week for exportation were not
above 210 puncheons; but about 320 were taken for the
home trade. The stock of Jamaica in the 'West India
docks is 9,170 puncheons—other British plantation, 4,322
puncheons; and of llemerera and Berbice, 5,882 puncheons.
Leetvards cannot be sold freely at Is. 7d. per gallon. The
demand for brandy is not brisk, but prices are firm.
TEAS.—The demand is much less brisk, but both
Boheas and Congous still command one half-penny per
lb. profit.

SlLa.__.The East India Company have declared 2,460
bales of Bengal Raw Silk for their June sale, being 200
bales less than the quantity declared at the last March sale.
These descriptions of Silk have not, however, been influ-
enced, as the demand is very slack for all Silks.
INotao.—The purchases are few ; but the last Com-
pany's sale-prices are maintained.

T.►LLow.—The deliveries last week exceeded 1,080
casks, and the market continues to look very firm at 435.
per cwt. The stock in the port of London is now re-
duced to 10,800 casks against 41,640 in the same week of
last year.
Haar and FLAX are rather more film.

SPICEP.—The declarations for the Company's May sales
hare neen commenced. At present only 100 bags of
Cloves have been announced.

Corrox.—The demand bath here and at Liverpool is
rather less active, but the former prices are given for small
quantities.

TOBACCO.—Very little is doing. The accounts from
Manilla state that the tobacco crop had failed there.
Hors ♦ND Ssens.—The highest prices are paid for
choice pockets. In Seeds a few purchases continue to
be made.

IRISH PstovistoNs.—There is rather a better demand
for Butter. Other articles remain the same.
