CITY MARKETS FEB. -
PLANTATION SUGAR..—This market has been rather
better attended this week, in consequence .of there having
been only one small public sale of Mauritius Sugar since
the 13th.in,st. which. Went off briskly at very.stiff prices.
On the low and middling descriptions of there is evi-
dently, a decline of Is.' pet Cwt. ; .but for the good and fine
qualities, of trhich the scarcity continues to increase, the
Iwices. are firmly Maintained, and in some instances an
advance has been given. The stock in hand in the West
India Docks is now only 5,80/ hhds. and tree. less than at
the seine time last year ; the sleliverics from the ware-
houses also are less, those of last Week upwards of .8013
casks, but the delivery of Mauritius Sugar has been very
extensive, and more than sufficient to nuke up for the
shortness of the delivery of West India Sugar. The im-
portera of Mauritius continue to appear anxious to make
salts immediately on arrival. Upwards of 1,000 bay ars
advertiied for to-morrow.

Delivered last Weeb from West India Ducks, '2,56 hbds.

FoitarGiq Sc4ait,a-There is apparently an inclination
to purchase, but atpresent nothing of consequence has trims-
pired ; 163 chests Havaunali were offered by public sale
this morning, when the middling and good white descrip-
tions sold from 449. to 465. 6d., low whites taken hi 39.4.
6d. a 41s. Gd. ; 175 lihds. Porto Rico Sugar were alto
offered, but in consequence of the bids being considerably
under the prices expected, the whole were withdrawn.
'REFINLD SUGARS-The demand for brown lumps has
very considerably incrwed since last week, and as high as
82s. has been obtained for good common brown qualities
in brown paper; these: descriptions continue very scarce ;
the middling descriptions of lumps and loaves are also more
in request for crashing, a fair stroke of business having been
done in crashed this week; the fine grocery qualities are
more looked for, but the prices of these descriptions arc
exceedingly low, in proportion to those of the inferior
qualitiei of refined goods.
COFFEE.—Two public sales of Plantation were brought
forward yesterday, consisting of 438 casks
,ordinary...
middling Jamaica, and fine ordinary Demerara ; the quality
of the Jamaica being better than any that has. offered
lately, caused a briskness in the sale, and the whole was
disposed of at rather an advance in price ; of Foreign Coffee
no sales arc reported this week.
Delivered last week from West India Docks 204 casks,
1,088 bags.
Stock on hand in West India Docks (on the 18th inst.)

Faurr.,--The, demand for new Denia Raisins, in baskets,
has considerably increased lately, and sales to the extent of
about 8 to 9,000 baskets have been made at the quotations ;
New, red Smyrna Raisins are more enquired after, and
some sales have been made at 435.: there are several ex-
port orders in town. The demand fur Currants 'is not so;.
lively as might be expected from the limited stock on hand
at present. Two public sales of various descriptions were
attempted to-day, but very little appeared to be sold at
either. The greater. part of the Figs; -of which 10,927
drums were offered of from bad to fine quality,:were taken
in from 455. to 60s. ; 10 butts and lb carotecls old Trieste
