CITY MARKETS, TWO o'CLOCK.

PLANTATION SUGARS.—The market is excessively
flat this morning, and up to the present hour scarcely
any business haS been done two
.boardS. of
good Moutserrats have been sold at 625. The
deficiency in stock, which last week was 15,969
Casks, is now only 14,726 Casks.. In Foreign Sugars
there is very little doing.
~REFINED SUGARS.—The only description in de-
mand are low Lumps,:which are,still scarce, and are
taken off at 84s. to 84s. 6d.

Col FEE have been no Public Sales this.
morning, and very few purchases, by private contract
are reported. The demand appears exceedingly
dull at present. . •
FRUIT.—A very extensive public sale was brought
forward yesterday, consisting of 107 butts and 70
caroteels new Currants, great part ofwhich were sold,
Mitts 905.-to 915.: caroteels 925; to 9.35.: 35 half, and
99 quarter brls. new Prunes 455.; 100 half and 600
quarter chests Imperial, 5,35: a 82s.'; small boxes
do. 5/. 10s. to 54 15s. ; ,Baskets do. 71. 2s. to 71.
45.; Cartoons do. 71. )7s“ Quarter Cartoons
ditto, 101. 195;,. boxes new Jordan Almonds, 11/.
lls.; new Bunch Muscatel Raisins; in boxes, halves,
and quarters, Si. 15s. t 0.71. I9s. ; also, 4,039 boxes
and 1,036 half-boxes new ':Valentia Raisins, part
only of .the boxes sold at Ws.. the halves were
taken in .at 61s. and Deniasin BaSkets at 41s.
The unsteady manner in which the importers
have regulated the price of Valentia Raisins
this season, and their attempting to . force them
off by Public Sale, although :there is nobody
to ,compete with them in the market, has induced the
buyer's to act with extreme caution, consequently they
will not take a package more than they have orders
for and many of them recommend the consumers
to withhold their orders for the present. The price
quoted last week was 625., to-day they are pressing
theM off to 605.; although there are no further arri-
vals, several cargoes are hourly expected. New red
Smyrna Raisins are much enquired after but there
are none here, they are daily expected to arrive. NeW
Sultanas haVe been sold a 55; New pulled Turkey
FigS continue to be taken off at GOs. a 635.
COTTON.--:The demand for Cotton is rather more
brisk than it has been for, some days past, the advices
from Liverpool being rather more favourable. There
have been several heavy, deliveries of East India
Cotton within the last week ; the prices this morn-
ing may be. quoted a shade higher.; Egyptian con-
tinue in demand; the export of cotton manufactured
goods are
,on a very extensive scale.

. .
The SPICE Market is steady, but no large .pur-
chaSes have been effected since the last India sale.
As a war would tend to increase the present rate
of prices very considerably, the holders appear dis-
posed to await the issue of the arrival of information
from Constantinople: OrderS have been received
from the Continent for, large purchases, in the. event
of the breaking out of hostilities. Should specula-
tion be revived in spices, there can be. no doubt that
an adVance of from 50 to 100 per cent: would, soon
be realized.

In SALTPETRE we have not heard of any bar-
gains above 2.ris. 6d. within the last two days. The
rnmours relative to the affairs of Greece and Turkey
not having had so much effect on the Market as was
expected. Should war be commenced, an advance
of •100 per cent. may be safely calculated upon.
In T4Low, speculation is extremely languid,
but the demand for consumption continues steady,
and this added to the prospect of the speedy setting
in of the frost at St. Petersburgh, has rendered
prides firm at from 375. ed. 375. 9d. per cwt. The
imports in the week ending last night have been
5,351 cwt., and the deliveries 7,311 cwt. Hemp is
firm at the late advance, and the deliveries have ex-
ceeded 3,600 cwt. since this day week. 'Bristles
remain at the same prices as last week.

SILK.—The demand for Turkey silk is brisk, there
being a probability of the supplies being impeded.
The advance is stated at from Is. to Is. 6d. per lb.
Italian, however,. does not participate in the im-
provement._

Hops.--The briskness noticed in the Hop trade
last week has not continued. The declaration of
the duty is looked for with great anxiety; in
some quarters it is stated to be as high as 141,0004'
but the more general opinion is that it will not ex-
ceed 140,0001. Kent bags are quoted S6s. 'to 100 s.,
Sussex ditto from 765. to 84t. per cwt..
There is a sale going on at the' India-House this
morning, of Hemp,• ElephantS' Teeth, China-ware,
mother of Pearl,:Btc The Company have declared
for sale on the 22d January 1,054 chests of Indigo.

COUNTRY'CORN MARKETS.
• WAKEFIELD, Nova Id.
The supply of Wheat to this day's market is very small,
but the millers, anticipating larger arrivals shortly, have
'bought sparingly of the best samples at last Friday's prices.
and the'diunp and middling sorts are'very dull sale; little
doing in Old. Oats; are much the same. • Barley is so
extremely, scarce, that the Maltsters cannotobtain a supply
for the week, and it is Is. to 2s. quarter dearer ; there
are no Old English at market. Good 'Malt is ready sale,
but there is little demand for inferior sorts.

- • NORWICH, •Nov. '
Our market continues to be well supplied with Wheat
andßarley, but the quantity of.other Grain is very trifling.
There continues to be a fair demand for the best, samples
of Wheat and Barley, but the qUantity,of inferior on the
market haS rather depressed the price of the best: Oats,
Beans, and -Pease, remain steady in kice• There is no
alteration in the Flour trade. '

the same as last week.: In other descriptions of Grain we
have also no variation in price. ,The best pockets of Hops

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 19,—Our Cotton Market
on Saturday was very brisk, at the prices of the public sales
of Friday, and 7,000 bags sold, 3,000 of which were on
speculation.
At the cattle fairs and markets of tile past
week we understand there has been no great variation,
either in this country or Ireland. A general complaint,
however, prevails of the inferior condition of the beasts
offered for slaughter, as well as a grumbling on the part of
purchasers at the high prices asked ; but • the real state of
the case is this : the depression in the value of skins, hides,
and tallow, owing to almost unrestricted importation,,
causes butcher's meat to be much higher to the consumer
than the value received by the grazier for his animals seems.-
at all to warrant; and, indeed, it must be admitted, that,
the price in the shambles appears.oat of proportion to the
value of corn. For instance,
from 6d. to 9d. per pound
for meat, and only 50s. a quarter for fair grinding wheat,
cannot long be the relative prices. Let the grazier then be
careful in his future speculation. Horn and corn must go
together; and as Ministers have it in their poWer to keep
the one down, that one must reduce the other. We find
the scarcity of good fat stock also extends to Scotland.—
