COLONIAL MARKETS.

PLANTATION SUGARS.--In the low and middling de-
scriptions there has been a good portion of business done
this week, at the decline in prices quoted, via, is. a 2s. per
cwt., principally by the Grocers: in the Refining qualities
there continues to be very little done—priees are but little
varied. The accounts received this morning from the West
India Islands are again of a very unfavorable nature, and
appear to have induced the bilyers to purchase more freely
this afternoon, at the prices quoted : some of the importers
of Jamaica Sugars decline selling at the present prices.—
Yesterday 3,275 bags Mauritius Sugar were offered by
public sale, but the greater part were bought in at very stiff
prices : bad the proprietors been determined to sell, a re,
duction of full 2s. must have been submitted to.

FORNION SUOARS.-Scarcely any thing doing.
REFINED SUGARS.—Low Lumps for the Hamburg!
market are the only descriptions of goods in which tl,cre
is any business doing at presestObe prices of which are
fully maintained ; they continue scarce, and are bought up
before they are ready for delivery : of the low and mid-
dling descriptions of loaves there is bit an indifferent supply.
and for these the Refiners are firm in their demands: the
fine qualities for the home trade areplentiful, and prices
rank exceedingly low in proportion to those of the inferior
descriptions. In crashed nothing doing.
Cemer.—.Nearly the whole of the quantity of Planta-
tion offerekky public sale this week, 964 casks atul 2113
bags have b* a 4 th rdinary descriptions of Jamak.a,
with which the ;34arket is quite overwhelmed, and for
which there is but little demand at present, consequently a

while for the few lots of coioury and good qualities brought
forward, very full prices, and evea an advance, has been
paid. A small parcel of Foreign (202 bags good ordinary
