CITY MARKETS—TWO O'CLOCK.
PLANTATION SUGARS—For the few good Sugars offered
in the market this morning rather higher prices are asked,
and in some instances obtained ; the scarcity of these de-
scriptions has now become very great and is very materially
felt by both Grocers and Refiners : there are now 8,500
casks less in the West India Docks than last year. Two
public sales of Mauritius Sugar arc advertised for this
week, together nearly 10,000 bags.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—White Havannahs continue to be
taken off at full prices ; to-day 8::?, chests Brazil were sold
by public sale, Low to Middl;ag Whites 363. 6d. to 38s.
6d. ; Browns and Yellows, 255. 6d. to 295.
REFINED SUGARS—Fine grbcery goods are again dearer,
and very few parcels can be found in the market; the low goods
also continue scarce, and bring very lull prices ; rather more
business has been done in the middling sorts at rather firmer
prices.
COFFEE.—A parcel of pale good ordinary Brazil was of-
fered by public sale this morning, and partly sold at 375.
FRUlT.—There is no alteration this week.

- _
SPlCES.—Pepper and Cloves continue to bear a premium
on the last sale. Cinnamon is firm at the previous price.
TURKEY -PRODECE.—More is doing in this market, at
advanced quotations. Opium is in demand at the full
price of last week. Camphor in particular is susceptible
of a considerable rise, owing to the small quantity in the
importers hands, should the war with Turkey be of long
duration.

SALTPETRE.--The large public sale of 2,000 bags on
Friday afternoon, and which went off 'rather under the
general price in the morning of that days viz. at 245. 6d.
to 255., rather checked speculation. This week 2,000
additional bags are to be submitted by auction, so that the
trade seem desirous of supplying themselves through this
means. The business done, therefore, this week, is not
extensive at the former quotations. The present stock of
Saltpetre in this port is not estimated higher than 8,060
tons. _ _

INDIGo.—The nature of the last accounts relative to
the new crop, a full average one, together with the quarterly
declaration by the East India Company, has rendered this
article less elastic. It is supposed that between 5,000 and
6,000 chests will be declared for sale, 3,000 of which are
already announced.
Hops.—The demand for fine Hops is steady. The
trade are %yell pleased with the ready manner in which the
Duke of Wellington and the Chancellor of the Exchequer
came into their views relative to Bonding Hops, &c.
TALLow.—It was obvious some days since, that all the
' efforts of the Bulls to maintain the late advance would fail:
the price has now dropped to 41s. per cwt. As new Tallow
may be expected to arrive in the latter end of May, if the
deliveries continue as small as of late the present stock
will be more than sufficient to meet the demand. Be-
tween 8,000 and 9,000 casks had been bought at St.
and were waiting for shipment. Hemp and
Petersburgh,
Flax are heavy.
Corrox.—The market has undergone no material altera-
tion, the sales being etill limited. Q4,the 21st instant a
large quantity, 3,!700 bags, tol4ilactby auction.
