CITY BIARKETS-TWO O'CLOCK.

' PLANTATION SUGARS.-Although the good and line
qualities, of which the Grocers are most in want, have
again been very scarce, the business done in this market
has been rather extensive, the Exporters having come for-
ward and purchased the low to good brown qualities very
freely ;, in prices no alteration can be noticed; upwards of
3000 hhds. have been sold this week up to this afternoon :
135 hhds. New Barhadoei.. on Tuesday went off very
Briskly at rather high prices. Yesterday 6035 bags Mau-
ritius Sugar were offered by public sale, consisting of low
brown to good grocery yellow qualities, when the whole
were taken off with much animation at very full prices,
and in some .instances at an advance ; the exporters were
the principal purchasers of the brown sorts.

FoaEicx SocAns.—There has been a good deal of
bushaess &fie this week in both Havannahs and Brazils by
private contivet, but no alteration in the prices has taken
place.
REFINED SUGARS.-The market continues very bare of
almost every description of goods, but although the demand
for the low descriptions for shipping has been very con-
siderable, and although they are taken off immediately they
are sheen, no higher prices have been obtained ; for the
fine grocery descriptions, which are also in brisk demand,
full prices have been given ; of crashed a few sales have
been made this week, but at the same prices as last.

CO FFEE. —The quantity offered by public sale this week,
(588 casks and 257 bags Plantation,) wa.c nearly all dis-
posed of at steady prices : it consisted principally of the
middling and low middling qualities of Jamaica ; the demand
does not appear to have become very general.

Fautr.—There is very little alteration to be noticed this
week ; there has been more enquiry for new Currants, but
there are none remaining in first hands.
Rust.—The stock of Rum is on the decline. Not
much has been done in the article this week. Former
prices are supported.
SPICES.-There is a pretty good demand for most tie.
scriptions of Spices excepting Pepper, which is much neg-
lected. Pimento is rather less buoyant than it was.
SILK.-The announcement of the war between Russia
and the Porte has induced some little speculation in Tur-
key Silks. Brutin may be quoted from Is. to Is. 4d. per
lb. higher. Other raw Silks remain very heavy.
INDIGO,—The demand for Indigo ham much fallen off
within the last fortnight, there being few orders received
either for home trade or for export. The advance an the
last sale price is barely maintained.
SALTPETRE.-There is but little demand for this article
either for home consumption or for exportation ; but the
deliveries this week from the warehouses have been pretty
large. In the beginning of tht-f week sales were forced
at 235. 6d., but to-day the market ia . reported rather
more firm. n•

RUSSIAN PRODUCt•--Tallow io gradually declining in
value, and is not now higher than 38s. per cwt. for im-
mediate delivery'. There is more doing in Tallow for
future delivery. The accounts from St. Petersburg!' of
the 80-4 arrived to-day, state, that since the last mail
up!', arils of 600 casks had been bought. For New Tal-
low there, 110 rubles had been paid, and for old 98 rubles.
It was fully expected that the supply this year would be
200,000 casks. In Hemp and Flax little doing.
Hors.—The progress of the bine is watched with much
anxiety by the trade. The accounts this morning from
Kent state, that the plantations were rather in. a more
favourable condition, but in many places the plant was
exceedingly weak. The duty it now called under
130,0001.
Wooi..—The importation of German Wools has con-
siderably increased this week. The market remains in-
active. The holders of home fleeces still hope for some
protection from foreign Wools, and the report of the
Lords' Committee is most anxiously looked fur. It is
stated, that the evidence adduced in favour of protection
by
weight in the Committee in favour of increased
many parties who have been examined, has carried con-
but those best acquainted with the trade are
spirdnetreacbtlieo ;
of opinion that should even the report of the Committee
consider some alteration necessary, the Duke of Wellington
will not act up to the Report.

descriptions of Cotton, excepting Fast
India, which is less inquired after, as the Company's De-
claration for the 6th of June is expected to he increased
or 9,000 bales, are in steady demand at former
