CITY MARKETS.-TWO O'CLOCK.

PLANTATION SUGARS.-The business doing in this
market has again been rather limited, owing partly to the
large parcels of Mauritius Sugar, which are advertised for
public sale this and next week (about 9,500 bags), the result
of which the buyers appear anxious to know before they
make any further extensive purchases in 'West India Sugars ;
very full prices have been obtained where sales were made.
140 hhds. Barbadocs Sugar were sold by public sale on
Tuesday, and being of good coloury quality were taken off
by tlle Grocers rather eagerly at about Is. to Is. 6d. ad..
vance upon the prices of the last sale.
Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 3,096
hhds., and 110 trs.
Stock on hand in the West India Docks, (on 16th inst. )
23,766 hhds., and 2,082 trs.
Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on Feb. 18th,
1828) 20,713 hhds., and 1,828 trs.
FOREIGN SUGARS are but partially inquired after, and
very little business has been done ; 500 chests Brazil are
advertised to be sold by public auction next week.
REFINED SUGARS ore still rather scarce, but the market

this week appears to have assumed a ratite? more languid
appearance, and the business done has been exceedingly
limited. The low and middling descriptions could be
bought on easier terms, but the grocers continue to take
off the fine qualities at last week's quotations, although not
with so much eagerness; in Crashed very few transactions
have taken place.
COFFEE is not in very brisk demand at present, and
the parcels offered by public sale this week (altogether
about 400 casks and 140 brls. and bags Plantation, con-
sisting chiefly of Jamaica and Dominica) have not been
taken off with any degree of spirit, nearly all the
having been bought in at barely the last prices; the
Jamaica was taken off more readily, at steady prices : in
Foreign there is nothing doing, 2,000 bags Brazil, part
damaged, are advertised for public sale to-morrow.
Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 316
casks ; and 397 bags, &c.
Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on 16th inst.)
9,675 casks ; and 78,361 bags, &c.
Stock on band in the West India Docks (on Feb. 18,
1828) 11,556 casks; 85,668 bags, &c.
FRUIT.—A public sale was brought forward to-day,
consisting of .damaged Currants, which sold from 803. to
88s. for butts, and 89s. to 90s. for caroteels ; Red Smyrna
Raisins, damaged, from 38s. to 415., one lot sound a 425. ;
the chief of the business doing at this period in the
Fruit market is new Denia Raisins in baskets, of the good
qualities of which there are very few on hand, and which
support the quotations ; but the inferior qualities, of which
the quantity in first hand nearly wholly consists, are
scarcely saleable, even at lower prices ; in Valenti& Raisins
there is nothing doing, partly owing to the very low price
of Red Smyrna Raisins, the imports of which, up to the
present time, have far exceeded those of last year, and
many of the merchants in consequence are induced to make
sales at the present price.

However opposed to the politics of The Sun,
it would be unjust not to notice the great exertions cnn-
stantly made by that Journal, whenever P alimentary or
other news occurs that may be interesting to their country
readers. There bays been several instances of this kind
recently..—Brighton Gazette•
