CITY MARKETS.-THURSDAT EVENING.

PLANTATION SUGARS.--A good deal of business was
done on Tuesday and yesterday at very full prices, but to-
day the transactions have been very trilling, and the
Market altogether has assumed a very languid ap-
pearance ; the public sale of Barbadoes on Tuesday,
went off with great spirit, at very full prices : a
small partici of Mauritius, of the new crop (739 bags)
was also sold on Tue;day very briskly, at an advance of
Is. to Is. (id., the quality being exceedingly good and
suitable for the scale. Two or three other public sales of
Mauritius, of the new crop, are also advertised, which may
in some degree account for the flatness apparent in the raw
market to-day, as the scarcity of good coloury grocery
Sugars becomes every day more evident.

Fonsins SUGARS—There are some enquiries, but very
little business has been done lately.
REFINED SUGARS.—The business done this week has
been very considerable in almost every description of goods;
the low qualities of lumps, however, continue to be the
principal object of attraction, and have been nearly all
taken out of the market at the advanced quotations for
delivery six weeks forward a further advance is offered,
and in some instances taken ; the middling descriptions
have also been in much greater request than for a length
of time past, for packing and crashing, the purchases of
the latter for immediate shipment having been very consi-
derable. _ _

COFFEE-The public sales of Foreign brought forward
since last Thursday have been rather extensive, upwards
of 2000 bags (nearly all Brazil) having been offered, and a
great part sold (about one thousand two hundred bags)
at from 38s. 6d. to 395. 6d. for fine ordinary coloury,
and 375. to 38s. for good ordinary; a few lots of good
•rdinary La Guayra were offered, but bought in a
375. 6d.: the demand for Foreign Coffee for the Mediter-
ranean appears to be rather considerable, but the inquiries
generally are exceedingly limited ; about 1,500 bags are
advertised for to-morrow : a parcel of Plantation at public
sale to-day, consisting of good and fine ordinary Jamaica
and middling Demerara, went off briskly at ls. a 2s. per
cwt. higher, notwithstanding the demand at present is
limited.

671 bags, &c.

FRIDAY, TWO CLOCK•
PLANTATION SUGARS. —The flatness in the raw market,
noticed yesterday, has continued up to the present hour to-
day, and the transactions which have taken place are
scarcely worthy of notice : a small sale of 1.00 bags
bags, consisting of Mau-
ritiusor-
dinary went off heavily, and barely supported
the previous sale (on Tuesday last.)
COFFEE.—The public sales of Foreign advertised for
ordinary, La Guayra
and pale Havanna!), the whole of which have been taken

there is no 'variation worth notice. .
Isnico.—The sale of Indigo at the India House, has oc-

the whole attention of the dealers in this article,
and has not yet concluded. As far as the sale has pro-
ceeded, the prices in general have been lower than those
