CITY MARKETS—(TWO o'CLOCK).
FOREIGN SUGARS.—Notwithstanding the late ar-
rivals of Brazil Sugars, there are no sales reported
either public or private, consequently the quotations
of these descriptions remain uncertain.
REFINED Suoans.--There has been some consi-
derable business done this week principally for
Crushing, and purchases to-day could not be made
on such easy terms as last week, although in the
quotations scarcely any alterations can be made : in
the Grocery descriptions there has been rather more
done, and prices are fully maintained.
PLANTATION St:GARs.-.--The demand this week
has considerably improved, particularly for the
Grocery descriptions, in which quality at the present
moment the chief of the business is doing; in prices
there is scarcely any variation, as the merchants
continue very firm in their demands, especially for
the better sorts : the Refiners, owing to the present
dull state of their trade, are not purchasing very
freely, but as the quantity of strong refining qualities
brought to market is still very small, and barely ade-
quate even to the present small demand, the Irn
porters obtain rather higher prices.
Delivered last week from the West India Docks, %5293
hhdd., and 166 trs.

Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on sth inst.),
33,687 hhde., and 2,907 tre.

any inquiry either for home consumption or export-
ationby private contract.

casks ; and 184 bgs, &c.

.1826) 12,006 casks; $4,665 bags, &c.

FRUIT.—The demand, although slowly, appears
rather to have improved since the holidays; of Red
Smyrna Raisins rather a large parcel was sold last
week at 425., but some of the importers will not
sell at that price at present ; of new Cephalonia and
Zante Currants a parcel has been divided among the
trade at 875.; for new Turkey Figs of line quality
there is some inquiry; several parcels of new Jordan
Almonds have been sold. at 9/., and there are still
buyers at that price : in other descriptions there is
scarcely any thing to notice.
SALTPETRE.--The market for Saltpetre is not so
brisk as it was, and sales cannot be made higher
than 246. 6d. per cwt. The East India Company
have just declared 400 tons for sale, on the 10th of
February; not being so large a quantity by 100 tons
as for several previous sales.
The Company's declarations for Sugar and Coffee
for the 28th inst. have been increased. The former
by 6,234 bags, and the latter by 700 bags.
Rice.—The large arrivals of foreign Grain have
rendered Rice flat. About 298 barrels of Carolina,
by auction, were bought in from 295. 6d. to 355.
On the 28th January the East India Company will
offer for sale 2,391 bags of East India Rice.

to 71. Ditto Bags, five to six guineas. Mid-Kent
Pockets 100 s. to 1265. Ditto Bags, 90s. to 115 s.
Sussex Pockets, 80s. to 88s. per cwt.
INDIGo.—The comparative stock last week, as
compared with the corresponding week tA last quar-
ter, spews an increase of 7,910 chests. The stock
of sold and unsold, in the beginning of January last
last year was 22,160 chests. On the Ist instant
the stock was 30,000 chests. Business is doing at
an advance of 4d. on the last sale prices.

full prices, good Egyptians fetch Bd.; Smyrnas, 7d.;

BALTIC PRODUCL.—TaIIow is firm at 395. 9d.
Bristles heavy.

SPICES in general are dall—Pimento has rather
given way.

in the whole amounts to eight millions of pounds,
being the same quantity as declared last sale. Of
