LONDON MARKETS.

PLANTATION SUGARS....-There was only a moderate
quantity of business done at the beginning of the week,
but in consequence of the very great scarcity of the good
and fine grocery and refining qualities, which now has be-
come general, and for which there is at present by far the
most demand, the trade were this morning induced to
come to market, and purchased all those descriptions on
show eagerly at an advance of full ls. per cwt., the sales
at the close of the day being full 1,000 casks : nearly the
whole of the Sugars at present in the market consist of the
low and middling sorts, worth from 555. to 60r.; 4,292
bags Mauritius Sugar were this morning sold by public
sale with considerable spirit, the good and strong qualities
s. to Is. 6d. dearer than the last sale; the low aed brown
qualities, of which there was the greatest proportion, with-
out alteration.
Delivered last week from West India Docks, 2,670 hhds•
178 tres.
Stock on hand iu ditto, on 3d instant, 16,407 hhds.
1,532 tres.
Stock on hand in ditto, on sth Breech, 1327, 20,532

FOREIGN SUGARS.—This market remains in a state of
inquietude, the expectation of the admission of Foreign
Sugars for home consumption, as noticed last weak, be-
coming more general; nothing, however, as yet appears
to have been decided, consequently no business of import-
ance has been done.
ItEFINED SUCARS.-The demand for the low descrip-
tions of goods has considerably increased this week, and
the short supply, which has been noticed for many weeks
past, still continuing, has caused rather an advance in
the prices to-day : for the good and fine qualities also,
of which there is now a great scarcity, and of which
the Grocers are in want (several of the Refiners who
manufacture these descriptions of goods having worked
out) lull 2s. per cwt. higher prices are paid ; the
middling sorts of goods, with which the market at
present is best supplied, and the prices of whirl'
have been for some time exceedingly low, in propor-
tion to those of other qualities, also appear to attract more
attention, and consequently are held firmer for the quota-
tions. For crashed there are many inquiries, and small
parcels continue to be taken off at the last prices.
COFFEE.-606 casks and 367 bags Plantation have been
offered this week by public sale, consisting of Jamaica and
Demerara, the former of which sold steadily, without al-
teration in price ; but the Dutch (fine ordinary to mid-
dling quality) did not maintain the quotations of last week.
In Foreign Coffee there has been scarcely any thing done ; a
parcel of good ordinary St. Domingo has been sold a 38s. ;
two small parcels ordinary Brazil and Havannah were
offered by public sale, but principally bought in.
Delivered last week from West India Docks 431 casks,
1,394 bags, &c.
Stock on hand in West India Docks, on the 3rd inst.,
16,984 casks, 88,872 bags, &c.
Stock on hand in IN est India Docks, on the sth March,
1627, 9,191 casks, 79,400 bags, &c.
FRUIT.-The common descriptions continue to be in
brisk demand, but are becoming rather scarce ; prices are
firmly supported ; of New Red Smyrna Raisins also, the
sales this week have been rather more extensive, and the
importers sheer less anxiety to get out of stock, expecting
an advance in the price; Currants are rather more en-
quired aftet, hut there are very few remaining in first
hands.
In general SPICES are more in demand, at the previous
prices.
TEAS.—The East India Company's quarterly sale is go-
ing on this week. Good breaks go off readily at a slight
improvement, while inferior sorts are little in dernauil. A
very large quantity has been refused by the Trade. The
sale will not conclude until the beginning or middle of
next week. . . _

The SPIRIT Market remains without any material al-
teration. The dealings in Rum are not extensive.
TALLOW.—The disposition of the market to rise seems
over for the present, The high prices lately demanded
