CITY MARKETS.

PLANTATION SUGARS.:—The business done this
week has been very limited, the quantity sold not
exceeding 1,000 hhds. the prices, however, remain
firm. The deficiency in stock in the West India
Docks is this week 15,969 hhds. and tierces; the
flatness noticed in the West India Sugar market
may in some measure be attributed to the large sale
of Mauritius Sugar brought forward yesterday, which
consisted of nearly 11,000 bags, fully equal to 1,000
hhds. of West India; the sale generally went off at
very irregular prices, the low qualities in Many in-
stances selling at a reduction of about Is—while for the
middling and good, full prices were obtained. To-
wards the close of the sale the buyers became less
disposed to bid, and a great part was bought in._

FOREIGN SUGARS.—There is some partial busi-
ness doing in Brazils and Havannahs at a shade
lower prices; a public sale of :;'l7 chests Havannahs
was yesterday offered, when good to fine whites
were bought in from 465. to 495., and middling to
fine yellows 345. to 375.
REFINED SUGARS.—The low descriptions of
Lumps for the Hamburgh market are still very
scarce, and continue to be sought after at from 84s. '
and 84s. 6d.; in the other descriptions there is very
little doing, either for export or home consumption :
in Crashed there is scarcely any thing doing.
COFFEE.—The buyers of this article have this
week shown very little inclination to purchase, only
about 680 casks of Plantation have been offered by
public sale, and of that great part has been bought
in, the bids not being equal to the prices obtained
last week ; for the lots that were sold the prices
paid were very irregular, some being fully equal to
last week's, while others were ls., 25., and 3s. less;.
a few lots of low good middling Jamaica to-day
brought 735. a 745. 6d., and middling ditto 70s. a
70s. 6d.; in Foreign there does not appear to. haVe
been any thing done, as the holders at present are
not pressing sales.
Delivered last week from West India Docks, 420 casks ;
459 bags.

FRUIT.—On Tuesday last a large public sale was
brought forward, consisting of the following descrip-
tions, which were sold at the undermentioned prices,
viz.: new Zante Currants, damaged butts 89s. to
925., caroteels 91s. to 945. ; barrels new Lexia
Raisins, damaged, 30s. a 365.; new Turkey Pulled
Figs, drums, 60s. a 655.; the Sultana Raisins were
all taken in a 70s. ; part of a cargo of new Currants
is reported to have been sold rather under 90s, ; new
Red
Smyrna Raisins are much sought after; the
price of the last parcel sold was 575.; the price of
new Valentia Raisins at the close of last week was
lowered to 585., notwithstanding there was only one
cargo, and part of another remaining on hand, but it
has since been advanced to 625., at which price only
a few have been taken, as there are two or three
arrivals all coining to the same proprietors, and several
others shortly expected; new Turkey Figs are being
taken off freely from 60s. to 635.: the demand for
Fruit generally has much increased this week.
RUSSIAN PRODUCE.—In the event of a war
with Turkey, the supplies of Odessa Tallow would
be much impeded, if not entirely cut off, and as a
large quantity is generally imported, it was expected
that the prices of Tallow would be beneficially ope-
rated upon by the state of affairs in the East. The
market, however, has not improved, and this is at-
tributed to the large purchases made at St. Peters-
burgh. At the date of the last advises, viz, of the Ist
instant, at that period the quantity shipped off to
this couutry in the present year, amounted to
157,000 casks, leaving but a small quantity there to
be put on board. The stock in this country is esti-
mated at about 41,000 casks. The prices are
quoted at from 375. 3d. to 375. 6d. per cwt. The
demand for Hemp continues at about 394 per ton.
COTTON.—The heavy condition of the Cotton
market at Liverpool continues to produce a corre,
sponding effect here; and as large sales are to take
place to-day in Liverpool, a further depression is
likely to be-announced. The quantity declared fot
auction is above 6,000 bags, which is expected to be
increased to 10,000 bags. Until the result of the
sale is known, no considerable bargains are likely to
be made here. The prices generally are flat. The
total imports of cotton into the United Kingdom itl
the first ten months 'of
the. present year; have been
from Brazil 88,570 bales, from the United States
614,720, fram'Egypt 26,170, from the East IndieS
04,950, and fioln the West Indies 26,180 bike

making a general increase over the imports of last
year up to the same period of 262,140 ; but the ex-
cess over the imports in 1825, is only 64,690 bales.
The SPICE Market is not so brisk 'as it was in the
early, part of the week. Since the East India COM.
pany's quarterly sale no business of importance has
been transacted. It is rather a singular fact, that all
the Pepper offered by the Company was refused.—
Nutmegs and Cloves are rather lower.
Rum continues in good deaind, and some fine
parcels of strong Jamaica have been bought as high
as 4s. Bd. per gallon, and extra fine at 45. 9d. The
total quantity iinported this year' has beeti 32,280
puncheons.
SALTPETRE has not advanced beyond the quota-
tion in the early part of the week. There is, how-
ever, a strong-demand for it, and some considerable
purchases have been made at 255. 6d. per cwt. ; in
a few instances 265. have been given.
INDIGO is in strong demand, but at material im-
provement on tke prices obtained at the last sale.
SILK.—The demand both for raw and manufac-
tured Silks is still. extremely languid, and- no im-
provement is expected until 'after Christmas. This
is usually a dull season of the year. The prices
given at the last East India, 'louse sale are consi-
dered to have.been..mueh too high. The import of
French manufactures latterly has been very extensive.
The IRON TRADE continues brisk, and large or-
ders are in the course of completion for .the Conti-
' nent of machinery, &c. Bar Iron is steady at from
9/,. to 9/. 10s. per ton. Russian Iron C.C.N.D. is
held at from 211. to 21/. 10s. per ton.
