The markets for Russian produce are looking op,
owing to the news from Vienna. Hemp is dearer.
Relative to the tallow market, Messrs. Smith and
Charles observe, under date this evening :
The tallow market was steady on Saturday at the quota-
tions omtained in our circular of the night before. Today
the news from Vienna has caused a considerable advance,
prices being—Y.C. on the spo,, new, 635. to 635. 6d. ; old,
625. ; May, 63s 6d. ; June, 61s. ' • Oct. and Dee , 665. 6d. ;
other sorts 2s higher than on Friday. The trade have not
yet heard of the termination of the conference. We antici-
pate, in the course of the week, a general demand from this
quarter, as they nave been holding back, determined to wait
the deciii in of peace or war. The holders are reluctant
to sell, as it is known that the gords at Kovno have been
seriously damaged and an actual loss of property occasioned
by an inundation that his occurred ; and this reluctance is
still further increased by the uncertainty as to how long the
overland trade will be permitted to continue.
Land and bark shores exhibited no variation to-
day. Royal Mail Steam again rose 11. Crystal
Palace shares were weaker, closing at 3: to 31, but
the preference shares maintain 1 to: prem. East and

General Screw Steam at 151 to 154 ; and Peninsular
and Oriental at 811.
The annexed weekly report on the freight market
is furnished by Messrs. Offur and Gammen :
There is sonsiderable demand for tonnare fur the Black Sea—for
supplies to the army ; but with this exception the freight market is
very quiet, and in an unsatisfaetory state. The war presets heavily
ou trade, and tee shipping interest is among the first to suffer.
Chartere ere enacted with difficulty dui Int the present state of ma.
pease, the progreie of the great struggle in wince we are engaged
Istin. watehed with intense anxiety by the ecenntercial world, whose
operations are further reetzteied pending the proposed Saul changes.
For carveyanee of Hay from the River Thirties, we quote 41.. per
ton of 40 feet—and for Oats in sacks Si. per quarter. The govern-
ment are restricting themselves to steam transports—a large number
the semis in terries are expected to be thrown up. For
steamers the rate paid last wee sfic per ton register.
Outward freight. from this port continue dull, especially to Aus-
tralia, to which eolnny they range at about 409. per ton, and for ships
to load on the berth He. to SI.. per ton resister.
