On SaturJay the Tallow market was firm, and higher
prices were demended, bat buyers not being prepared to
pay an advance, very little business was don*. To-day the
market opened buyers at 64.., and sellers at 661. 3d., for all
this mouth. The demand, however, on the spot was large,
and holders, encouraged by the I. rge delivery of last week,
would not sell exempting at an advance of 3d. and 6d. per
cwt., to which the trade submitted in the muses of the day,
and we leave off-Y.C. new on the spot, 65e. 6.1.; old,

THE CORN TRADE.

(Prom the Mirk Lane 6:Frew.)
BRITISH. _
. _ _

With the return of broken wencher, marked occa-
sionally by very heavy and continued reins, the corn mar•
kets during the put week have nevertheless continued dull
with a decline in price,. We regret to find that unfavour-
able reports as to the degree of damage dons and the pro
spectively diminished yield of the wheat crop increase upon
ns ; and unless we are favoured with fine weather, the con-
sequences must be serious. There are many pieces of
wheat and barley so effectually laid and matted down with
the undergrowth of weeds that, without a settled and hot
sun upon them, we can see no prespeet of their ripening.
Beans being comparatively short in straw, have stood up
well under the eh 'were, and the thin pieces of wheat,
from the same came, seem to promise the best sample,
though defective in produce. The old crop, however, still
holds out, and foreign importations, though not large,
are more than sufficient for immediate i consumption ; while
the commencement of harvest in the southern districts of

Europe and America seems to act as a memento to millers
'to keep stleka low at present rates; and they act accord.
lagly. Thus are further proofs that the weather has
been detrimental to the potato crop in this country, and
Ireland partially; while from the continent (Denmuk and
Prussia especially) there Is quite an alarm at the extent of
the disease, and prices have risen as the consequence. It is
useless therefore to deceive ourselves by florid reports, with
these facts before us ; and we trait no paninrinions economy
of labour will be adopted by our agricultural friends at har-
vest time, me/ as we have witnessed with regard to the
minty bay crop, but that every available and timely help
will be provided, not only far their own raker, but for the
luting welfare of the eouatry. The yield in France, in
those parts where the crop is ga•bered, has been lees than
expected, and attention has 'gain been slightly directed to
this country for the execution of contracts for future de-
livery of flour. Rye has proved deficient in Belgium and
Germany, and prospects generally have assumed a moss
cheerful aspect—reminding us aa a nation of oor &pet

deuce on Providenee. Lea week's deliveries were 99,768
qro., at 78i. 24., against 31,184 qrs. last year.
The market on Monday commenced on a supply of
17,000 qrs. of wheat, 6,700 qes. of which were of home-
growth; of the foreign, only about one-third was from
the Baltic, • still larger proportion coming from the Medi-
terranean. There were very few fresh samples from
Essex and Kent; but the weather having taken up, the
country markets closing lower, and the previous Monday's
supply not being cleated, • very dull state of things ensued.
An abatement of 34. per qr. would have been willingly con-
ceded, and a few sales were made at the reduction ; but mil-
lers generally won not tempted by these terms, and most of
the hulk on ale was left undirposed of at the close of the
day. There bong less dispositioa to press sales of foreign,
such a difference in price was not quoted ; but sellers would
have found it seminary to submit to much lower term, to
have made any progress.
On Wednesday the arrivals per coast were 1,050 qrs.; the
foreign 6,793 qty. On the previous day a considerable fall of
rain had taken place, and showers were then prevalent. This
circumstance gave • tone to the musket quite beyond MOll-
- appearance, and English factors were therefore ens.
bled to clear off the accumulation en their stands, at the de-
cline then quoted, with some facility. A better feelieg slso
sprung up an the foreign trade, and some sales were made at
higher rates than could have been obtained on the previous
market day. By Friday the coast ann.! reached 2,770
qrs , end the foreign exhibited an addition of 3,100 qn.
Toe weather, however, having resumed a more favourable
aspect, with a clear hot sun, the market relapsed into come
partitive insanity, bat not into the depression of Monday
—a few sales, both of English and foreign, being made at
Wednesday's rates, reports from the country being more un-
favourable as to the effects of the heavy rains.
The flour trade commenced with &supply from the country
to the extent of 14,380 sacks: the foreign, chiefly Spanish,
being about 3,000 sacks. The same stagnation influencing
the wheat market was visible in this trade ; and the supply
being heavy for the time of yesr, a reduction of 24. per sack
on Norfolk took place, leading to but a partial clearance of
samples. Spanish flour was similarly affected in value, and
receded to 68s. per sack, On Wednesday, with a good sup-
ply of foreign, via , 3,200 seeks end 840 from the coast, the
same ceases produced the same effects, and more sales were
made with greater readiness than on the Monday, some
French customers having appeared to take advantage of the
dulnus to secure the completion of their contracts, markets
having been rather against them in their own country. On
Friday, the supplies per coast were 2,000 sacks, and the
foreign were increased by 1,100 sacks, when sales proceeded
slowly at unaltered prices.
The supply of barley was mote moderate than of late,
the Brinsh being only 1,700 qrs. and the foreign but
3,800 gm ; nevertheless, the fine weather had a depressing
effect, end prices generally were quoted is. lower, with a
most limited derailed. The necessity of this grain being
used as • substitute for Indian corn Yea ceased, from the
great depredation in the price of that article. Wednesday's
arrival of 1,600 qrs. per coast, and 2,100 qrs. foreign, made
no difference in the value, though there was a somewhat
improved sale ; and the same appearance of the market re
, mained to the due of the week, with a supply of only
' 1,106 qta. more foreign.
Malt has been a slow sale at steady prices.
The oat trade has been disordered, from the oppressive
qunntity of ill-conditioned cargoes, the supplies having
kept up continuously beyond expectation. 24,000 qrs
knien were reported on Monday, with 4,000 qre. lush,
end a slight spri2ltliag of Evelio samples. fi•net corn,
ebich is in very small compile', could not then be bought
at easier rates, and is really wanted ; but inferior, warns,
and stale loot, which abounded, were difficult to gait
at 6d. to Is. less money, sad discoloured hot parcels
receded still more in value. On Wednesday the arrival.
per coast were 2,160 pa , with 800 qrs. Irish, and
13,240 qrs. more foreign. Trade, however, was no worse,
'here having been abundance of rein, sad sales in comae
onenee were made with more facility than nn the previous
day, at fol.y the rates then obtained. On Friday the addi-
Cone of foreign were 6,000 qv*. more, without any new
features to tv-tice, or change of prices.
Beaus, with • declining consuturtion, have been leas
abundant: the foreign were 600 qrs., the Eeglish 400 qrs.
no Monday. The trade was heavy for English parcels, and
Is. less wee accepted at the Kentish stands, but not gene.
rally conceded, transactions bens. unimportant. The foreign
pest were 1,200 qrs. from the Baltic only, in white quali-
ties, the English supply having dwindled down to 72 qrs.
Scarcely say satip of importance have been noted through
