CITY M ARKETS-TWO O'CLOCK.

PLANTATION SUGARS.—This market has been rather
better supplied with the good and fine qualities this week,
and as the demand is still brisk for these sorts, they have
been taken off freely at very firm prices ; the show of the
better descriptions, kowever, although more plentiful than
last week, is yet unequal to the demand. Of Barbadoes,
118 hhds. were brought forward by public sale on Tues-
day, but the buyers did not take them off with briskness,
and it was with difficulty that former prices were main-
tained. The public sales of Mauritius Sugar, which have
been brought forward this week, have been rather exten-
sive, consisting of upwards of 17,000 bags, the whole of
which have been sold with considerable spirit, at rather an
advance in price, more particularly for the low to fine
brown descriptions, the advance on which must be quoted

a la. 6d. per cwt.
Fat:lr.—The advanced price of Valentia Raisins has
checked further sales for the present, and there is scarcely
any thing duing in Red Smyrna Raisins, the merchants
at present not pressing sales, as they expect an alteration in
the duty will take place, making it 20s. on all sorts of un-
rated Raisins ; the price at which the cargo of Currants
was divided last week was 785., but another parcel has
been sold to-day, at Is. per cwt. advance upon that price,
more arrivals ate expected, and the stock at the outports
is rather large: in other descriptions there is nothing to

notice.
Foaeic st SUGARS.-There appears to he buyers of
white Havannahs, a parcel of about 600 chests having
been sold privately at 48s. A public sale of 1,200 chests
was advertised, but has been withdrawn in consequence
of part having been sold by private contract ; for strong
white Brazils there are still buyers, but the importers a►e
asking higher prices.
REPINED SUGARS.-The improvement noticed in the
demand in this market last week has been fully established,
and the quantity of goods now remaining on hand ready
for immediate delivery is very small ; the shippers having
bought the low and middling sorts very freely, while the
grocers have been almost equally extensive purchasers of
the good and fine qualities at very full prices, and in many
instances a small advance has been given for all qualities.
In crashed scarcely any thing has been done.
COVFEE.—Of Plantation, 660 casks have been offered

this week, consisting of the middling and fine grocery de-
scriptions of Berbice, and ordinary to middling qualities
of Jamaica; the finer descriptions of the former sold very
freely, and brought ♦ery high prices, but the latter sot is
did not go off with so much briskness, no alteration how-
ever in the prices can be stated : the large parcel of
Foreign offered on Tuesday, sold very readily, and rather
higher prices were given.

SOUTHALL MA KET.—May
At our market of to-day, which exhibited but a moderate
supply, and was rather numerously attended both by London
and country buyers, each kind of meat experienced a tolerably
ready sale, at the following prices per stone of 81b. to sink the
orals : _ _

Beef 33.2 d. to 4s. 6d 4s. 44. to ss. 4d.
Mutton I 3 4 4 6 Pork 4 0 5 0

Cal LI;

ss. 4d. to 6s. 4d,

The foregoing quotations are Beef and Pork the same as those
of this day se'nnight ; Mutton and'Veal advanced Vd., and Lamb
4d. per stone. But a small proportion of the supply left the mar-
ket unsold
