Letters of the 11th, from Bt. Petersburg, report
the market for tallow as continuing firm notwith-
standing the discouraging accounts from this country
for that staple. 2,600 casks yellow candle tallow had
been disposed of at prices varying from R. 106 to
108; a small quantity of first Kolomns at R. 100,
under which rates nothing was to be had. First
soap was cleared, and first Y. C. was quoted
nominal at R. 128. Hemp, owing to the lateness of
the seseon, was no longer in great request. The
price quoted was, fur clean, It. 80 to 84.
Ontshot, 74 to 76. Up to date, 1,791,450
goods had been exported. Flax was without
inquiry, and the price was nominal. Linseed wag in

that ashes were scares and in demand. Several pur-
chasers were in the market at the following quota-
tions : pots, 355. to 365. per cwt. ; pearls, 325. to
325. 6d. The price of flour was rather on the de-
cline, and as there were no orders for shipment to
England or the lower ports, and the bakers were well
supplied, holders would have to submit, it was
thought, to lower prices, although far from being
remunerative : 1,000 barrels of Montreal City
Mills INTO mid at 225. 6d. ; fine, inspected
by Phillips, at 20e. 6d. ; and 500 barrels
of New Lampton Mille, a fins article, at 235. Of
wheat, a cargo of 6,030 Umbels bad arrived from
Canada West, which were offered at 41. Bd. per

low, and brought readily ls. 3d. and le. sd. per
minot. Barley was quoted 2s. 61. per minot. Oils
were advancing in price, and mach inquired for, par-
ticularly boiled linseed, pale seal, and cod. Exchanges
and freights were both on the decline, and not much
had been done in either during the past week.
Toe rates of freight were:-To London,
flour, 3s. 9d. per barrel ; timber, 345. to
355. per load; deal., 61. to 51. 2s. 64. To Liver-

In the stock market Quebec Mining Company's

made at 13s. 6d., and 15s. was the prise last asked by
holders. Quebec Fire Debenture* were much sought
after, and were dime at 80/. A few shares of the
(Luba Gas Company had changed hands at par, but
sellers were not willing to part with any more
reader 5 per cent. prem. Montreal Bank shares, 501.
paid, were done at 10 per cent. die.; Bank of British
North America at 401. The Quebec Corporation De-
bentures, which pay 6 per cent. interest, were held at
Pa.
'lle number of vessels which had arrived at Que-
bec from sea up to the 6th Oct. this year, was 1,949,
or 423,605 tons, against 1.901 reseals, or 409,760
tons, to same date last year ; the increase this year is
therefore 49 vowels, or 13,645 tons. The arrivals
from the lower ports to the same date this year were,
89 vessels, or 5,964 tons, against 71 vessels, or 4,404
tons to the same period last year ; showing an increase
this year of 18 vessels, or 1,560 tons.
At a meeting of the citizens of Quebec, on the sub-
ject of forming a railroad from Quebec to Melbourne,
toe proceedings of the corporation in advancing bonds
or debentures, to the smount of 100,0001, for the pro-
secution of this work, were approved of. The sub-
amid= list was opened, and committees appointed
for the purpose of csnvsasing the various wards of the
arty.
The export of ice from tho city of Boston for the
month of September was 4,471 tone, and the total for
this year was 56,452 torts, showing nn loam., over
the sass period last year of 8,734 tons. The value
of the exports of cotton goods for Beptemter was
165,069 dole,, and the total value of the same from

Ist January was 1,228,446 dole. against 1,590,270
dolt. foe the game period last year. Of the exports
last month 35,404 dole. were sent to the East Indies,
36,864 dole. to Rio Janeiro, 36,6001015. to Central

River Plate. The number of foreign vessels which-1
arrived at the port of Boston during thi swath of
aternber was 384 against 308 at the easeagried
is leitt, showing as increase this year of aka
yeeesia.
The wane of New York for the flood year '
erase time 30th September, for canal and railroad
tolls, exceeds by more than a quarter of a million of
dollars the revenue of last year. The revenue this
year from these two items is as follows:—Canal tolls,
3,199,044 dole.; railroad tolls, 128,834 dole.; total,
3,327,678 dols. This is a great result, and likely
annually to be increased.
Letters have been received from Adelaide to the
2nd Jane. The only alteration in markets was an
advance in flour end wheat, the former of which had
sold at 111. per too, and the latter at 3s. 10d. to 4s.
for good grinding samples. Oats were in moderate
demand at 3e. to 3s. 4d. Barley was dull of sale.
Fair wethers realized 65., fine 7s ; but large
quantities were on their way to town, which
would affect the iptice. The mining share market
was very inactve. Burrs were offered at
1601. Prinoes Royal. were in demand, and
had realised 261. Wheat gimlets offered at 201.
Money was firm at 20 per cent., at which there were
borrowers. The governor had directed the surveyors
to examine the state of the roads to the eastward
with a view to immediate operations for their im-
provement. The legislative council had not yet met
for business. The revenue for the year ending 31st
March, amounted 103,6201., being an increase of more
than 30,0001. over that of the previous year, and
43,6201. beyond the government estimate.
In the estimates for the present financial year the
receipts are calculated at 94,2001.; but it was ex-
pected they would exceed that by at least 40,0001.,
which promised to leave a considerable surplus over
the current expenditure of the colony for the year.
Upon this assamptios it was argued by the colonists
that the government ought to reduce the duties and
other sources of revenue to that extent ; but the
difficulty was to fix upon such branches of
revenue as could be the most equitably and
advantageously diminished or abolished. This sub-
ject it was expected would form one of the principal
points for discuasioa when the legislative assembly
resumed their sitting. It is to be regretted that diffi-
culties had arisen to prevent the two rival companies
for the City and Port Adelaide Railway from settling
the preliminaries upon which they were to unite, as
was suggested, to carry out that undertaking.

The share whet has been considerably excited
to-day, and prices during a considerablwpart of the

London and North Westes, 113 ; London and
Soh Westerns, 31; Midlands, 471; North Staffords,l
91; South Easterns, 18; and York and North Mid-

siderably in advance of the doming quotations of
yesterday's market
The French share market is rather fiat.
