CITY MARKETS-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

PLANTATION SUGARS.—Tfiere was rather more busi-
ness doing on Tuesday, the sales on that day exceeding
1,000 hhds., but since the transactions have again been
limited, both Grocers and Refiners having bought sufficient
to supply their immediate wants, and in the present state
of the market not appearing inclined to buy more than
they have a demand for, unless upon very favourable
terms ; the Merchants, however, continue firm, and upon
the sales made, last week's prices have been realized : the
public sale of Barbadoes on Tuesday went off very heavily,
but without any material alteration in prices ; of Mauritius,
a parcel of about 4,000 bags is advertised for to-morrow.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—Some offers have been made this
week for different description, but at present very few sales
have taken place.

REFINED Sucwas.—ln the low descriptions of Lumps
fur the Hamburg market there does not appear to be quite
so much doing, and prices this week must be quoted r. -
titer lower, some sales having been reported at and under
735., but in the better descriptions of Lumps and single
Loaves there has been more doing for crashing, the sales i f
crashed since Thu►sday last having been rather consider-
able, and offers are still being made within a shade of the
present quotations ; of Grocery goods the stock at present
is rather small, but the demand is only limited, therefore
prices remain without alteration.

CorFr.E.—The quantity brought forward by public
sale this week has been 682 casks and 182 bags Planta-
tion, of which the greater part was ordinary and unclean
Jamaica, sad prices are again Is. a 2s. lower ; of the good
coloury descriptions only a few lots were offered, but lust
week's prices were not obtained for dun; soma parcels
of fine Berbice, of favourite marks, brought full prices for
the home trade, viz. good middling, 725. 6d. to 84s. ; in
Foreign Coffee there is scarcely any thing doing, but a
parcel of good coloury Brazil was disposed of to-day at
about 343. 6d.

FRUIT.-The two cargoes of new Fruit, the arrival of
which was noticed last week, were put up to public sale
on Friday last, but bought in again at higher prices than
the Grocers appeared inclined to give; afterwards, how-
ever, they were put on tap at the following prices, viz :--
Sew Valentia Raisins in boxes a 565., half boxes a 589. ;
new Denia Raisins in baskets, of which there was only a
small parcel a 425. ; new Muscatel' Raisins (bunch) in
boxes a 1155., half boxes a 1205., and quarter Loxes a
1309., and quarter brls. Lexias a 425. The demand how-
ever, at present is very trifling, and only a small propor-
tion of each cargo has as yet been taken off; of new Va-
lentias there is another arrival which is now being landed,
and is on tap at the same prices as the first cargo: On
Tuesday a public sale of old Zante, Cephalonia, and
Patras Currants, was attempted, hut the whole were
bought in, butts and carroteels a 755. to 76W. Of new
French Fruit there is a❑ arrival, consisting of Prunes,
Imperials, and French Plums, in half, quarter, and small
Ids., cases, small boxes, and cartoons, which were all
offered by public sale to-day ; only one or two lots, how-
ever, were disposed of, and prices therefore at present can
only be stated to be nominal.
MM.-The low price at which the Government con-
tract for 100,000 gallons was taken, Is. 9id. per gallon,
has had no effect on the market. There is very little do-
ing. The current prices are—Jamaica, 15 to 18 per
cent. over proof, 2s. ss. to 2s. 6d. ; ditto 20 to. 24 per
cent., 2s. Sd. ; ditto 25 to 28 per cent., 2s. 9d. to
2s. 10d. ; ditto 30 to 35. per cent., as. to Ss. 9d. per
gallon. Leewards, 2 to 3 per cent. over proof, Is. 9d.
to Is. 10d. ; ditto 6 to 10 per cent., Is. 11d. to 2s. per
gallon. Brandy, fresh bonding., 38. Sd. per gallon ; old
ditto, as. 6d. per gallon.

Ixtuno.—The -East India Company's sale of Indigo is
going on languidly. The declaration consists of about 600
chests of Madras, 700 chests of common Oude, and some
of very tine quality, and the rest of Bengal. The reduc-
tion in ordinary shipping qualities may be stated at .4d. to
6d. per 11,. lower than last sale, and fine qualities from Bd.
to 9d. per lb. lower. Inferior qualities have gone much
lower, and a good deal has been refused.

HOes.—Tfie trade is very flat--duty called 36,0001.
A few Farnham! have sold from 12 to 15 guineas. Sussex
pockets are from 81. 8s: to 91. 9s. ; Kent ditto, 91. ss. to
10/. 10s. ; growth of 1828, 71. 7e. to 8/. ; ditto of 1827,
90s. to 105 s.
In the TALLOW market there is no alteration. The
price remains heavy at 375. 3d. per cwt. There are no
later aseounts from St. Petersburgh to-day.
SILK TILADK.—This is prompt day on the Silks pur-
chased at the last Compauy's sale ; it is expected to be ra-
ther heavy. There is more doing in Silks, but prices aro
languid.
