CITY MARKETS, Two o'CLorx.

PLANTATION SUGARS—The show of Watt India Sugars
in the market this week has been exceedingly scanty, and
bee few boards of good quality that have appeared have
then taken off' eagerly, at a further advance of 2s. per cwt.
in price ; both the grocers and refiners have shown an evi-
dent anxiety to purchase, the stock remaining in first
bands having now become very small, and, in the event
of no further arrivals, only sufficient for a few weeks' con-
sumption ; consequently the low and middling qua-
lities, ' which for weeks past have pressed on the
market, have participated in the advance, and cannot now
be bought at so cheap a rate by full is. per cwt.: there is
also an increased deficiency in the total stock remaining in
the West India Docks, it being this week upwards of
4,400 Casks less than last year, while the-deliveries, which
are os the increase, appear greater; 5,063 bags Mauritius
Sugar were sold on Tuesday by public sale, and the quality
of the whole parcel being extremely good, much animation
in the bidding wee displayed, and an advance of Is. per
cwt. given.,ppp more are advertized for to-mon ow.

FRUIT. —The demand for the common descriptions con-
tinues, hut has been rather checked by the price of Basket
Fruit being advanced to 40s. ; there is an arrival this
week ; Red Smyrna Raisins maintain their priceS firmly ;

a parcel of New Carabourna Raisins has been divided
among the trade a 465. In Currants there is no alteration.
The Quarterly sale of TEAS which commenced on the
3d inst., concluded yesterday afternoon. For Green Teas
the demand was languid, and on few former occasions ob-
tained such low prices, owing principally to the inferior
quantity of the samples, and in some measure attributable
to a dislike being entertained in many districts to this sort
of Tea ; Boheas and Congous were a mere shade dearer
than last sale ; Twankays averaged from 2s. to 2s. 3d.
per lb. for middling, and from 2s. 3d. to 2s. 7d. for good
Breaks ; fine sorts dearer than last sale ; Boheas from
Is. Old to ls. 101 d. ; Congous from 2s. to 2s. 64d. ;
[Tyson skin from 2s. to 3s. 111-d. ; Hyson from Se. 1 lid.
to 4s. 11 id. per lb. In the Tea trade there is at present
greater competition among the dealers than at any former
period. All Teas sold at or under 2s. per lb., pay 96 per
cent. duty ;—above 2s. per lb. the duty is 100 per cent.
In SescEs there is no material alteration, a large sale
takes place this afternoon, on account of the Ceylon Go-
vernment consisting of Cloves, &c. Pepper and Cloves are
at a premium on the last sale.
SAvrerrae--Seerna at last to have attracted the notice
of speculators ; a few days since purchases could be made
at 235. Gd., but yesterday there were eager buyers at 255.
6d. per cwt. This morning it is quoted again higher,
hut as 2000 bags are to be submitted for public auction
late this afternoon, a check is given to any large transac-
tions. The deliveries from the warehouses in the week
ending last night, are very large, viz. 3,575 cwt.
bunco is not quite so brisk, but shipping qualities
notwithstanding are moderately bought. The deliveries
since this day week are nearly 57,000 lbs. Exports to
the Continental markets are still made freely.
RUSSIAN PRODUCE.-The Tallow market seems to have
lost its energy, and the prices are drooping, to-day being
quoted at 425. 6d. per cwt. The deliveries since this day
week have been 8,023 cwt.
Wools.—The demand for Wools is brisk. The deli-
veries of Spanish, in the last seven days have been con-
siderable, viz. 226,420 lbs. The advices from the ma-
nufacturing districts received this morning are favourable.
Among the deliveries this week are 23,367 lbs. of Wool
from Vera Cruz. . . . .

• SeisaTs.---Overproof Runts are much inquired after for
shipment. Wines are also in demand to-day.
CoTTow.—A want of energy is still felt in Cotton of all
descriptions, and sales of Surats are reported on lower
terms than last week. The acknowledged activity in the

manufacturing department at Manchester, and other places,
tends to induce the hope that a reaction will soon occur.
On the 21st inst. a large sale cf Cottons will take place,
and the East India Company have declared 795 hales of
Cotton Wool on the 28th of March. The stock of Cot-
tons in this port at the commencement of this month, was
5000 bales of American--about 2000 more than at this
period last year—of Egyptian about 8,400 bales, or above
9,000 bales less than last year,—of the different descrip-
tions of East India about 83,000 bales or about 8,000 less
than last year. The present stock of Bengal is about
7,500 bales; of Demerara, about 1,000 bales, and of
West India, about 1,700 bales.
