CITY MARKETS-TWO O'CLOCK.

PLANTATION SUGARS.-The good and fine coloury
Grocery and good strong refining qualities are still the
only sorts for which there is any demand, and as there are
but very few parcels of these descriptions on hand in the
market, they are taken off rather eagerly as soon as shewn
at very firm prices, while the low brown and inferior par-
cels, with which the market abounds, are gamely sale-
able, although in many instances lower prices have been
submitted to : 179 hhds. and 60 trs. and brls. St. Lucia
were brought forward yesterday, but only part sold, al-
though the parcel generally was of a much better descrip-
tion than that offered last week.

Delivered last week from West India Docks, 2,537
hh(le., 175 tre.

Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 23d inst.)
2,462 hhds., 1,188 trs.

Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 25th March,
828), 9,776 hhds., 1,129 trs.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—One hundred and ninety-four
chests Brazil were offered by public sale on Tuesday, con-
sisting of brown and yellow to fair white Bahias, but only
a few lots of the best qualities found buyers, and those
barely supporting the previous prices ; a parcel of damaged
Havannah was also offered, but went off at such irregular
prices, that, although there was a decided decline in them,
it would be difficult to quote with certainty any serious fall
in the prices of the sound qualities.

REFINED SUGARS.—Although this market appears to
be in a very depressed state, there is a little business
doing, but the prices obtained for the middling and better
sorts are not equal to the quotations of last week : of
Crashed, for the Mediterranean, a few small parcels have
been sold this week, but at very low prices, some of the
Refiners having sbewn an anxiety to do business where
offers have been made.

COFFEE.—No transactions to notice have taken place in
this market this week by private contract, either in Plan.
tation or Foreign ; and the only parcel offered by public
auction has been 650 bags Brazil of fine ordinary qualities,
the whole of which were bought in at 395. 6d.

Delivered last week from West India Docks, 297 casks,
2,194 bags, &c.

Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 23d inst.),
8,392 casks, 71,659 bags, &c.

Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 25th March,
1828), 10,325 casks, 92,323 bags, &c.
FRUIT. —A parcel of fine new Patras Currants in butts
and caroteels, just arrived, is being divided at 865., but in
other descriptions there is scarcely any thing doing.
SPICES.-The demand for shipment is on the increase.
Cinnamon, first quality, is from is. 3d. to Bs. 2d., second
6s. to 6s. Id., third from 4s. to ss. 2d., 'sore ordinary to
good Sq. 9d. to 6s. Ginger White, 80s. to 170 s.

WooL.—Although the Wool trade remains dull, a pub-
lic sale the day before yesterday went off briskly, in conse-
quence of an expected contract by the East India Com-
pany for Stripes. About 748 bales of Spanish Wool
fetched from Is. to 2s. ; 105 bales of Germanized ditto,
10d. to Is. sd. per lb., and Spanish Lamb from Si-d. to
10d. per lb. To-day Van Diemen's Land, New South
Wales, German and Spanish Wools are to be offered.

Russz.aw PRODUCE.—TaIIow continues to droop, and it
now not more than 375. to 38s. The last dates from St.
Petersburgh state that about 20,000 poods had been
brought since the last post. The Exchange had fallen to
10 11-16. The frost continues severe.

SILKS.—A further reduction of from 6d. to Is. per lb.
may be noticed on raw and thrown silks, and from the
many failures occurring in all the silk districts, no increase
of demand is anticipated.

The INDIGO market continues heavy, at a Alight re-
duction.

RIOE.-There is little demand for Rice—Bengal may
be freely purchased from 12s. to 131.

In Sit:TrantE the late advance is maintained, although.
business is less active.

WOODS.-There has been some activity in nrawoods—
Campeachy Logwood is quoted El. to gi. ; llonduras, 6/.
10s. to 71. ; Jamaica, from 61. 10s. 61. 15s.

We understand that HENRY RASE, Esq.
Cashier of the Bank, died last night.

DREADFUL FIRE.---THREE LIVES LOST.
wA most alarming and destructive fire broke out this
morning- at Camberwell, about half-past three o'clock,
which we are sorry to say, not only destroyed a large
quantity of property, but led unfortunately to the loss of
three lives. The fire commenced at the hour above stated
in the dwelling-house of a Air. BAILEY, who, we un-
derstand, is a retired chemist, and such was the speed with
which the flames enveloped the whole house, that the
mother of Air. BAILEY and two of his children fell sacri-
fices to the devastating element. The other inmates most
narrowly escaped. The flames then communicated to
three other houses, a broker's, a straw-bonnet maker's, and
a shoe-maker's, all of which were mostly reduced to a heap
of ruins, and comparatively but a small portion of the pro;
perty in each saved. Enginea errived in the shortest pos.
sible time frpm Loudon, and by the exertions of the fire-
men the games wee arrested.

ERRATUM.—In the Advertisement of the
World of Fashion, yesterday, the price was stated to be
live Shillings—it should have been poly "Two Shilliqgx."
