CITY MARKETS.-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

PLANTATION SUGARS.--There continues to be a steady
although limited business doing in this market, and it ap-
pears heavy, but nevertheless no material reduction in the
quotations can he noticed ; the arrivals continue to be rather
extensive; of Mauritius large parcels are still brought for-
ward by public sale, which in a great measure tend to
check any extensive business being done in West India
Sugars; on Friday last 7,318 bags were offered, and being
of a low and inlerirr quality, went off at full Is. under
the last sale prices; on Tuesday 6,204 bags more were
brought forward, when the brown and grey descriptions
sold freely at full prices, but the yellow and good grocery
qualities Is. to 2s. lower than was obtained for the kit par-.
cel of similar quality that was offered.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—By private contract there does not
appear to have been any thing done this week ; and the
only thing brought forward by public sale has been some
yellow and white Havannahs, damaged, and a small parcel
of soft Pernams, which went off without much animation.

REFINED SUGARS.—Tbere is very little business doing
in any descriptions this week, and low goods have become
rather more plentiful, and can be bought upon a shade
lower terms. In crashed, although there are a few offers
making, there does not appear to have been much done, and
the Grocers continue to buy only small parcels to supply
their present demand.
COFFEE.—The public sales this week have been nume-
rous and extensive, but have consisted principally of
Jamaica, which has gone off rather freely, as the greater
part of the quantity offered has been disposed of ; some lots
of the middling sorts, however, to-day did not maintain
the prices obtained at the beginning of the week, but upon
the whole, no material alteration in the prices of Plantation
can be made. Of St. Domingo several parcels have been
offered, but this description at present does not appear to
be in demand, and the prices obtained to-day were ls. to
2s. per cwt. lower than the last quotations for good and
fine ordinary quality, viz.-325. a 33a. 6d. Altogether
1,146 casks and 146 bags Plantation and 1,559 bags
Foreign have been brought forward.

Rust.—The market Is more firm, but the extensive
stock prevents any considerable advance. Prices are the
same as last quoted.
SALTPETRE.—By public sales yesterday afternoon
about 600 bags of Saltpetce went off from 21s. 6d. to 255.
per cwt. The market is steady.
HOPS.—This morning's accounts are more favourable
from Mid Kent; but not Sussex and Worcester; they are
worse. The duty is called 38,0001. Prices firm, but
little doing.

INDIco,--Since the Company's sale terminated, some
few parcels, shipping qualities, have changed hands, but
the demand is comparatively slack.
COTTON.—The extensive sales of Cotton to take place in
the course of this day, by the East India Company old
private holders, engrosses all the attention of the trade.
OlLS.—There is not much doing, but former prices are
maintained.

SPICES.—The business doing is limited. About 400
bags of Pimento, offered yesterday, realized sid. to Sid.
per lb. for fair plantation, and 4s. to 4s. Bd. for foreign
Pimento.

TALLOW maintains its late advance, but as the stock
may soon be expected to increase rapidly, more than
30,000 casks being shipped off at St. Petershurgh at the
date of the last accounts, speculators are not very anxious
to purchase largely. The importations of Russian pro-
duce this season, of all descriptions of goods, are expected
to be very large.
