LONDON MARKETS, MAY 2.

PLANTATION SUGARS.-There has been a plentifall:
ply of the low and middling qualities at market this W
but the buyers have shown very little disposition to ri;
chase, further than for their immediate wants, althoill
these descriptions could be purchased on rather lower VI.
than last week. There continue to be arrivals abou
daily, and the Stock in the West In.lia Docks, which r"
some months past has been very considerably less, in 0P1;
parison with the Stock of the year previous, is now )
about 450 casks less ; still the scarcity of the good and
,m;
qualities continues ; and the Merchants have realized rsotr
an advance in the prices of these descriptions. The P
lie sales of Mauritius Sugar brought forward this on,
have consisted of 9553 bags, the greater part of the lo vim
fine brown qualities, which were principally sold to n
shippers at a reduction of 6d. to Is. in prices : the On,
and fine qualities offered went off very briskly, and an r.
vance of Is. was in some instances paid.

REFIRRD SUGAR/L.—There has been considerable-111'1,

very considerable. .
Weor.s.—,The arrival of Wool from Van Die°l4
