MARKETS.

TALLOW.—SATURDAT E• KiflnG.—The market was
tn.s.ac to-day. Spot and all this year, 45e. 3d. ; January to
45e. 9d. ; March, 46e. to 465. 3d. ; April to June,
46e. very to last evening, 1.775 auks; arrivals ditto,
1,715 cub.

001TON.—LrnmPoot., Dcc. 13.—We have had a large
business today, with rather a dearer market. The sales are
12,000 bales, iociading chiefly lionit, at 9d. to 190. ; 800
Egyptian, at 'ad. to 27d. ; and 40 Msranham, at 224 d., of
which 7,000 are for speenlatioa and export. The week's
import is 2,748 bake.

(*wow GOODS.—/Irreezerrs, Dec. 13.—A not in-
considerable business Is reported as the aggregate of the
week in yarn., and the attempts of spinners to get an ad.
vance commensurate with the increased cost of the raw ma-
terial have been attended with some enema. In some kinds
of home trade yarns, including throatle warps above 24.1'5,
and for mule yarn up to 10's and 40's, spinners have ob-
tained fd. to id. advance on Tuesday's rates, and
buyers have taken freely at this advance. In shipping yarns
little has been done, though buyers for India and the Levant
are in the market. The cottoo market has not been so esti'.
factory as that for yarn. On Wednesday and Thursday there
was a moderate business in printing, long, and Tclotia, but
the advance of prices consequent on the rise in cotton and
yarn appears to have scared buyers away from business yes-
terday and this morning. Business in cloths closes exceed-
ingly flat for all descriptions, but buyers can be found where
manufacturers are willing to accept something near the
lately current rates.
WOOLLEN.—Lazns, Dec. 13.—We have had this morn-
ing a decided improvement in the marketa. The attend-
ance of buyers was good, and they operated with more spirit
than of late, chiefly, of course, in fabrics for the coming
spring. In the coloured hall several good parcels of light
meltoos, checks, knickerbockers, and other fancies, were
disposed of at rates var 3 log little from recent quotations.
Tweeds seem to be less in vogue, and are easier to buy, as
the supply has now overtaken the demand. In the white
hall a fair business was done in mediums, other branches
continuing quiet. Altogether a more hopeful tone prevails.

HARDWARE. —themiNc RAM, Dec. 13. The trade
of this town is in a moderately healthy state ; a little more
of quietude has been visible of late, as is usual towards the
close of the year ; but up to this time the manufactories
have all been in work full time. This is quite as satisfactory
a condition as can be expected at this period of the year,
with so much that is calculated to check any thing like ani-
mation in the home trade. The foreign trade has not much
changed of late; so far it has kept up steadily. The iron
trade in this district is, upon the whole, in a satisfactory
state ; for all descriptions of "marked" iron the demand
is amply sufficient to keep the works on at fall time ; the
second-class makers err also obtaining a fair amount of busi-
ness, and are getting prices ociy proportionally below the
trade rates The labour market is in a healthy state, there
being little unemployed in any quarter. The coal trade is
very active, and the supply rather inadequate for the mo-
ment in consequence of some of the colliers having been
on strike ; they have flaw returned to their work at the old
scale of wages.

Nosiocx. Dxc. 13. —A quantity of rain bag fallen this
week and the atmosphere ham been damp ; the condition
of the principal put of the west offering at this market to-
! day was consequently moderate, and sales proceeded slowly,
although prices were the taro in favour of tbe buyer; 6si
d 7 sod beet samples were fully as dear as on this day
se nnight ; the supply war fair. There was about the need

OXFORD, Doc. 13.—There was a fair supply of all kind,
of grain, but owing to the late damp weather, the sample,
were very much oat of condition. Tina, misfiled with the nopr
of thenew year, caused bang to er be exceedingly
approach
prime samples of wheat commanded rather topre
money. Quotations were as follows : —White wheat, FAIL
to 56a. per qr. ; red, 436. to 50s. ; barley, 31s, to jl/4. ;

Bianum, Dec. 13.—There was only 'moderate suppled
wheats& our market this morning, the condition being fir
from good ; the attendance was also limited. Business vas
exceedingly dul Land wheat had a downward terideecy, though
moral quotable. The barley trade was also languid, sad
maeon the decline, and the eame may be said with re.
prd to oats and beam.

ROCBERTER. DEC. 13.—There has been an almost owe.
plate stagnation in the wheat trade at thie corn-exchasse,
and the operations effected bays been, for the most ran, of
the merest retail &erecter. The stands were pretty well
furnished with wheat, foe which there was a slow demand
at barely last week's prices. Prime samples of white were
noted at 53a. to 58e., and red, at 48s. to 52a. per quarter.
and inferior white was ths. to 534., audited,
to 48a per quarter. In barley there were but few trecae.•
time at about previous quotations, best malting =loll
313 e. to 40L, and grinding, Me. to 3%. per quarter. oats
were a dull trade, and the transactions effected were of a
merely retail character. Prune Poland' were %a. to 2*,
and other 100 23e. to 2135. per quarter.

WISBECH, Doc. la—The attendance of farmers was small
owing to our Christmas fat stock market being held Int

currency of this day week. Barley slow We, and ls. per
qr. lower. Oats taken io retail at previous rates. Beam
and per rather cheaper.
YORK, Due. 13.—The quantity of wheat exhibited war
moderate, but many wimples were in poor condition. In
this county out-door work has made tolerably good progrew.
, The wheat trade today ruled dull, at prices in favour of
buyers. Prices for new white were from 50a to 561.

KIRKCALDY, Dec. 13.—At our country markets this week,
we had only moderate supplies of all kinds of grain. Plitt,

but also on account of the difference in the views of buyer,
as to future currencies. Here, to-day, we had only mode.
rate supplies of grain. Wheat sold at last week's wax
Barley, best qualities, 6d., and inferior le. lower. Oat,,
from 6d. to la per qr. dearer. Wheat, old and new, 321.

new, 18s. to Eta. 6d.
WATZ&PORD, Dec. 13.—We have had slightly increased
supplies of farmers' grain this week, bat by boat Use
deliveries continue small. Our arrivals of foreign an
limited to two cargoes of wheat from the Black Sea. and
ewastwine scarcely anything has come to hand ; still our
market exhibits no symptoms of improvement, and previous
prior are scarcely maintained. Irish wheat may be noted
Gd. per barrel cheaper, and foreign the turn in favour ci
buyers. Oats in fair request, and well-conditioned parcel',
' quite as dear. Barley rather cheaper for guiding samples,
but malting qualities command full rates. Indian own
entente more attention at a redaction of 3d. per barrel on
the currency of this day se'nnight. Flour quiet, but not
lower. Import* this week :--Indian corn, 5,010 qrs. ;

CATTLE.—CArtuus., DEC. 13.—Our market for loco*
bred cattle to-day presented a dull and lifeless appearance
The number on offer was very small, and comprised four or
five small lots of Gallowaya, a few crosses, shorthorn, and
which cows, and one lot of yearling Highlanders. Boyers
were exceedingly scarce, and the trade for all descriptions
was extremely dull, up to noon no bushman( any importance
being trammeled. There was a pretty fair show of big
cattle, for which there was some inquiry, and several sales
effected, at primaeffected, ranging from 4f. to 84 lOs. a head. The
supply of white stock was limited to three small late if
lambs, in very fair condition. Bushman is this department
was quite at a standstill. The except for Ink
cattle, may now be mid to be over. b the supply
of pigs to-day was by no means so large as last week, yet
there wan a goodly number on offer—about 80 cartkach.
Sayan were scarce, but notwithstanding this then was a
fair business don at about last Saturday's rates. Priam
ranged from Si. to 16e., the average being from 12a. to 13s.
a head. A clearance was not effected.

A COLLIERY ow Def.—Rather more than a we,k
ago it was discovered that the coal at the bottom of the fur.
mice shaft of the Victoria Colliery (Stanley) bad bees ignited
by the heat of the furnace. The colliery is the property of
Hears. R. Hudson and Co., and there are four shafts con-
nected with each other. After efforts had been fruitlessly
made to extinguish the flames, it was found that the only
way by which that object could be effected would be by
tiling up all theshafta foe a few yard* from the bottom. This
step was decided upou after consultatiou with Mr. Holt,
mining engineer, and Mr. Morton, the government in•
evertor, and ou Sunday the manager had the work effected.
The tire, it asupposie4 is still bungee, and it will be some
months before the collier, can be reopened. The closing
of the works will entail a heavy loss on the owner—l,erdr
