CITY MARKETS.-TWO O'CLOCK.

PLANTATION SUGARS.—The market opened hea-
vily this week with a good supply, and in some in-
stances the low and middling qualities were sold on
rather lower terms; to-day, however, the demand
considerably revived, and some extensive business
was done both for home consumption and expert,
the Shippers having come into the market and pur-
chased freely at rather firmer prices : 167 hhds.
Barbadoes by public sale on Tuesday sold at full Is.
per cwt. lower priaes; of Mauritius Sugar there have

FOREIGN SUGARS.—There are some enquiries, but
nothing material at present has been done : there
are some arrivals this week.

REFINED SUGARS.—At the beginning of the week
the market appeared fiat,. and although there were
but very few goods on show, last week's prices
could not be obtained ; to-day there has been an im-
proved demand, and the few goods remaining on
hand were eagerly bought sp. Middling good and
fine qualities are still exceedingly scarce, and con-
tinue to be bought for delivery a fortnight forward.
Of Crashed some considerable sales have been made
this week.
COFFEE.-870 casks Plantation have been offered
by public sale this week, consisting of Jamaica,
Dutch, and Dominica ; for the former sorts the de-
mand was steady, and no alteration in the prices
obtained could be noticed ; but for the latter there
were scarcely any buyers, and nearly the whole
offered was bought in. Upwards of 1600 bags Fo-
reign have been brought forward, but chiefly taken
in again, a few bags Brazil only being sold at 355.;
nearly the whole parcel consisted of ordinary togood
ordinary pale St. Domingo.

FRUIT.--There is no alteration since last week ;
the common descriptions continue to go off freely.
SPIOES.—The demand for Cinnamon is brisk, and
has obtained an advance on the last Quarterly Sale
prices. Pimento is steady. Pepper and Cloves
maintain former quotations.

East India RICE is freely purchased at an advance
of ls. to ls. 6d. per cwt. A large sale of Rice
takes place this afternoon.
SPIRITS."-There is more business doing in Rum
at former prices. Brandy, first mark, is firm at 3s.
to 3s. 2d. per gallon ; second ditto, 2s. 2d. to 2s. 3d.

now 14,171 pun. and 1,293 hhds., being less than at
this period of last year.
The East India Company's sale of Indigo is not
expected to finish till the middle of next week.--
The Oudes and Madras have had little demand, and
are lower.

HOPS.—The letters from the plantations to-day
are less favourable,the mould gaining ground. The
duty is conFequently rather lower, viz., 190,0001.
The market for Hops, may be quoted, however, five
per cent. lower. There is not much betting on the
duty going forward.

Seal Oils are improving, being quot-
ed at 30/. 10s. per tun; Greenland is a shade lower,
fetching 27/. ; Cod Oil is at 30/. per tim.
BALTIC PRODUCE.—The advices by the mail this
morning from St. Petersburgh state, that Tallow
there had risen to 100 rubles. and since the last
post 1,00() casks had been shipped off. The date
is to the Bth instant. The Exchange had improved.
The market here hi also improved, New Tallow
being at 375. psi' cwt. Hemp and Flax at St.
Petersburgh were in good demand.

SALTWA'RE is in demand at the late advances.

Covros.---The demand for Cottons is very re-
fraiar, and this week business to some extent has
been transacted. There is, however, no alteration
in the prices. _ _

THE SILK TRADE.----The Committee appointed
by the Meeting of the Trade on Wednesday, are
fully confident they shall make out a good case to be
submitted to Government, claiming full protection
from foreign silks. But one fact certainly tends to
prove, that the case of those opposed to free trade,
is not likely to meet the support of 'Ministers, which
is that the demand for manufactured goods is im-
proving. We understand that in Manchester a
strike among the weavers has taken place for higher
wages. Italian and China raw silks are in demand.
