CITY MARKETS.-(VVO O'CLOCK.)

PLANTATION SUGARS.—The good and fine sorts appear
to be the only descriptions for which there is any anima-
tion at present, and as they are rather scarce full prices
are obtained for them, but the low and middling qualities,
of which the supply is very abundant, are in very limit, d
demand, and lower prices have again been accepted ie
many instances this week, which has caused more business

to be done than there otherwise would have been : a p.m-
cel of Bat badoes was brought forward by public sale on
Tuesday, and went off rather freely, the fine sorts at full
prices. A public sale of St. Lucia Sugar is advertised
for to-morrow.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—Very little has been done this
week, a small parcel of white Havannahs only having been
sold at full prices; the large sale of yellow Havannahs ad-
vertised last week takes place on Tuesday next.
REFINED SUGARS.—This market continues very flat,
and the business doing at the present time is very limited,
and prices, notwithstanding the bare state of the market
for low and middling goods, are again a shade lower; in
the Grocery sorts there is no alteration this week. The
transactions in Crashed have been very trifling, and at
rather a reduction from the quotations of last week.
COFFEE has again been brought forwarl by public sale
in rather large parcels, and as the greater part consisted
of the ordinary and unclean qualities, the quotations were
nut sustained by from 2s. to 3s. ; the descriptions offered
consisted of Jamaica, Dominica, Demerara, and Berbice,
and altogether of about 1260 casks and 697 bags. A
parcel of St. Domingo and La Guayra also was offered, '
but taken in with scarcely any offer•.

. .
Faum—There is scarcely any thing doing at present ;
the quotations remain almost without alteration.
