CITY MARKETS—(TWO O'CLOCK. )
PLANTATION SUGARS.-There has been very little
business done this week, and the market upon the whole
has a very languid appearance, good and fine qualities
however being less plentiful, notwithstanding the late arri-
'Ns, than any other sorts, continue in demand, and are
taken off at very firm prices; of the lower descriptions
the merchants appear rather more disposed to make sales,
but at present the demand does not appear to run upon
those qualities; of Barbadoes 130 hhds. have Leen offered
by public sale, but the prices of last week were with diffi-
culty supported ; two public sales of Mauritius Sugar have
also been brought forward, consisting of 5,124 bags, but
the good and fine yellow, and strong grey qualities, were
the only sorts that brought previous prices, the other de-
scriptions being sold 6d. a Is. per cwt. lower.
FOREIGN SUGARS.--There has been nothing done this
week.

REFINED SUGARS.—There is a little appearance of
flatness in this market, but it is chiefly caused by the ex-
treme scarcity of shipping qualities, say goods worth from
745. to 775., which have been bought up with great spirit,
and are still taken off as soon as shown, at the same prices
a, last week ; fine Hamburgh loaves are still in demand
for shipping, but there are very few on hand, and the re-
finers demand rather higher prices than were given last
Week : in the grocery goods there is still very little doing.
COFFEE.—The public sales of Plantation brought for-
ward this week Dave been rather extensive, and have con-
sisted of Jamaica, Demerara, and Berbice; but the mid-
dling and goad middling qualities of the Jamaica were the
Only descriptions that were taken off with any briskness,
and for these full prices were paid ; other descriptions went
off very heavily, and in many instances at rather lower
prices.

Paurr.—The remainder of a cargo of very fine Patras
Currants, that has been held some time for 865., has been
sold at 78s. (butts and caroteels), but otherwise very little
has been done.
Sercrm.—Pepper is in demand at a slight advance, es-
pecially Black, which is taken readily at 3d. per lb. In
other spices there is no alteration.
Ha'ur CONTRACT.—Some curiosity is felt in this trade
to learn the result of the contracts taken by Government
on Wednesday for 600 tons of Hungarian Hemp per year
for four years, and 200 tons of Italian for the same period.
The price has not yet transpired.
PaovisioNs.—The low terms on which the Govern-
ment contracts for 13,000 tierces of Beef, and the same
quantity of Pork were taken, viz., Si. I ls. lad. for the
farmer, and Si. 13s. 6d. per tierce for the latter, has not
had
nth* least effect on the market for provisions.
•-o'rTorr.—The information of the destruction of the
crop of Sea Island Cottons has had scarcely any effect on
the prices. There is a steady demand for Cotton at former
prices.
Trre Sxr.x TRADE appears to wear a more firm appear-
ance. The stocks of Italian being small, au increased de-
Inand has raised the prices a shade. The East India Corn-
Panra Silks declared for the next sale,are now on shew,
and the trade are busily engaged in inspection of them.
Tottacco.—The market is heavy sine the late arrivals.
The delivery, however, is pretty large;
H.P..--About SO pockets of new Hops have ken
brought to town, which are very handsome for early
Picking.; they
do not, however, sell readily, the price
asked being too high, in comparison with yearlings, which

BALTIC PRODUCE.-The mercantile letters from St.
Petersburgh to the 9th instant state, that 9,000 casks of
Tallow had been bought since last post, and 107,500
casks shipped off. The price of Tallow was 100 rubles,
and the exchange 10i. Money bore a good interest.

In point of fact, the consumption of malt has been sta-
tionary fur about 120 years. It is estimated by the very
well informed 111 r. Charles Smith, in his Tracts on the

During the first ten years of the last century, the., popu-
tion of England and Wales is supposed to have declined a
little, or to have decreased from 5,475,000 to 5,240,000,
(Preliminary Remarks to last Census); and it is supposed,
that during the remaining forty years of the first half of the
century, the population gained about 1,200,000, or in-
creased from 5,240,000 in 1710 to 6,467,000 in 1750.
It was customary, during the latter part of this period, to
allow private families to compound for the malt duty ; and
many availed themselves of the alternative; a circumstance
which shews sufficiently that the quantity of malt then actu-
ally made use of must have been greater than the quantity as
estimated by the duty. It may, therefore, be safely affirmed,
that the consumption of malt in England and Wales in
1750, when the population amounted to only 6,467,000,
exceeded its consumption in 1828, when the population
amounted to 13,500,000 !
