CITY MARKETS.--(TWO o'CLOCK.)

PLANTATION SUGARS.--The holders appear rall&
anxious to make sales t'is week, particularly of the low
and middling qualities, with which the market is very
abundantly supplied ; some transactions in these qualities
have taken place privately- below the present quotations,
but for the strong refining and fine grocery descriptions,
which continue exceedingly scarce, the prices are fully
sustained. A public sale of 96 hhds. Barbadoes on Tiles-.
day went off at very full prices; a public sale of Mauritius
Sugar was also brought forward on Tuesday, consisting
of 3,804 bags, the good and fine qualities of which sold
at full prices, but the low and middling descriptions from
555. to 58s. were rather cheaper : another sale of 3,501 H
bags took place this morning, when the whole went off
with considerable animation, and the prices obtained were
fully tip to the quotations, and more than equal to the
given for some parcels of 'West India Sugar, which have
been purchased quietly in the market this week.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—There is a very extensive show of
Havannahs and Brazils in the market this week, but up to
this afternoon no business of consequence had been done.
although the exporters have been looking round the mar-
ket carefully for some time past, and our refiners have cer-
tainly shown a disposition to speculate nn the probability
of foreign Sugars being admitted for refining on certain
sealeable duties; an evident anxiety has been displayed by
them this week., as it has been understood that the
tion would be brought forward in the House of Commons
during the present session of Parliament, and probably in,
the ensuing week.
REFIsEn Stros.a.s. —The low descriptions of goods coil,
tinue to be taken off eagerly without alteration in prices,
but the middling qualities are dull of sale, and could be
bought on rather lower terms ; the fine grocery are rather,
scarce this week, and higher prices are obtained.
Come—The public sales of Plantation brought for.
ward yesterday and to-day went off with some spirit, f:liy
supporting the prices obtained last week : they cons;sted of
540 casks and 311 bags of Jamaica, Demerara ao',l Barbie?,
the former chiefly ordinary to fine ordinary quality—the
latter fine ordinary and middling qualities, suitable to the.
home trade ; a parcel of 777 bags Brazil also found buyers
at from 375. 6d. to SBs. Cl.( for {food ordinary colour;
quality.
