TALLOW.

The subjoined remarks are extractzd from the monthly
circular of Meting. Smith and Cnarles :--•` Lind. n, Supt. 2,
1853.-In reviewing tl.e st 1.13 of the tallow market duriug
the past month we have again to dire isle considerable
fluctuations in the prier of this erticle. Tee market left off
on the Ist August at Mi. 61. for delivery in Oetober and
December; by tee s;tl the price had advance 4 to 52.. Gd.;
again, by the 17th, we leul .1. dined to 4oe. 3.i.; a reactirn
then set in, and the price advanced to 51s. 31. by the 19th;
the. price, however, was not maintaiiied, and a gradual
decline again to de place ti 50s. and 50.. 3.1., there being
sellers yesterday a, the later and no bayers ver sac In-
deed, for the last four months as. would kave horn
accepted. These fluctuations have rentil,ed mainly from
pnlitirnl events in the east of Europe. The rise in the early
part of the month was the of et of fears that peace wauld
not be recur, d, and the d. ciine from the highest point then
attained, is the effect of the mare peaceable aenezt of the
affair. The prospects of our market must now ba coesi-
dered apart from any auticipatien of political dis-
turbances, and taking a calm view of these
lawmen we cannot at present see any eir-
eums•ances to wnrrant the aaticipation of cheap
prices, whilst at the same time circumstance s may occur to
produce higher rates; amongst these latter we may mention
the prohabditv, amounting now Ono,' to certainty, of the
August barques arriving very late at Petershurgh ; it is
even said they will not he d o , n till late in Seteember, the
scarcity of freights in Peterellurgh, and the ea.ra demand
(resulting from the late advanas in grain) for fleigtes for
wheat, etc., to add to chit. we have in the course of August
received advice; that we must not expect touch tallow troth
Australia, and although there is a prospect of peace in the
'Liver Plate, still cc Ca:Illot rec. ive leech tallow thence at
present. We have continued advice, from various parts of
tile country of the scarcity of h, produce, which will
sooner or lave produce an inert a•ed daaated for foreign
tallow. The advance in the rate of interest by the Bank
of Eagland yesterday no doubt affected our markt t and
influenced the claim. we have noted above; were our pros-
pects of foreign supplies better, this would perhaps have
effected our market more, but the market has already
recovered to some extent from the effect produced, end we
are firmer today in all poeitians. The Petersburg advice,
to-day are to the 11th and 20,h August. Exchange ma to
Tallow Ott nay, at 143. lteseians being buyers to
fulfil contracts for August; for exaort very little doing.

METALS.—Mr. kloate's circular states, that for Scotch

the price hail receded to 645. for tuis,el numb, rs, but ral-
lied to 664., aril seam reci de:l to 621., at which there are
buyers ; Amen( an brands cununt be obtained under 745.,
the production is about 14,4200 tons per week, while the
shipments for some weeks past have been at the rate of
14,000, and the local conNuniption about 7,000, mekinl a
weekly drain upon the stock o: ts.out 7,000 rms. Rails are

COTTON —LlcEnPoot, SEPT. 2.—The continued dull
state of our cotton market, week after week, is gradually
forcing upon us a slight reduct; in the scale of our quo-
tations. The concession we anude to applies mainly to the
various qualities of American; the middling sorts, with
some degree of cleanliness, being in fair demand, are but
little changed in price, while the inferior, as well as the
fair, arc 1. loser during the fortnight. Brat:l cotton of all
kinds is steady. Egyptian dull and without change. The
low quality nt bursts, of which there is a large stock, is
heavy, with the turn against the holders. A small public
sale of Sea Islands on Wednesday last showed the common
qualities of that description to be nearly 2d. pt r lb. lower
than they were a mouth ago. General.y the unpropitious
state of the weather, with reference to the harvest, and the
precautionary measure on the part of the Bank of England
in raising the rate of discount to 4 per cent., is inducing
caution, and repressing enterprite• and speculation. The
Committee of Brokers place fair Uplands at GZd.; Mobile,
61d., and Oilcan? at 6101., being the same as last week.
3,361 American and 120 burst are reported to have been
taken OIL speculation ; and 4,050 Americo,, 860 Surat, 700
Bahia, and 120 rernam, for export. Sales for the week,
36,970 bales.

WOOL.—Ltrns, SEPT. 2 —There is no change to re•
port in the wool market this week. Sales have keen to a
moderate amount, and prices are firm at last week's rates ;
hut still in Eng:iah wool they arc not remunerative upon
the prices asked by the tanner's.

COIIN.—CUELMSFORD, Sept. 2.—The supply of both old
and new Wheat was small to-day, and the weather being
very unsettled, the pretensions of farmers were high ; must
of the purchases were made by the millers, at au advance
of 2s. to 3a. per qr. over last week's rates ; old, red, 38s. to
Ms. extra 62, ; old white, 64.. to 675. ; new red, 633. to 63..;
white, fel.. to 68v. ; extra, 70s. Barley, nominal ; Beaus
sod other spring corn, Is. dearer.
LINCOLN, Sept. 2.—WZ, 'tied a large supply of Wheat to-
day, a great ui which was of the new crop of good qua-
I ,f wing to the unsettled state of the weather t.ur
fotiners obtained an advance of 2s. to 3.. over last week's
rates. Nothing doing in sprii.g Corn. Wheat, red, 08s. to
60s. ; white, 61s. to 645.
Liveitrour., Sept. 2.—The weather is reported cold, wet,
and altogether unfavourable, this week, in almost every
part of the United Kingdom, harvest operations much re-
tarded, and the general estimate of the wheat crop, in Great
Britain at least, very deficient. With an untoward season,
it world be impossible to predicate a period for 'he pro-
bable termination of the bulk of the harvest, and, judging
from the lateness of the spring-sown wheat in many. dis-
tricts, we have much to fear from the continuance of mita-
ences of a character so injurious as we are just now expe-
riencing. Although a great deal of rain bas fallen here
since Tuesday, the trade has not been quite so much ex•
cited as of late, yet during the interval a large quantity of
Wheat sod Flour has found buyers, and holders have met
the demand rather freely, the increase in the Bank rate
of di-count incliuieg many to clear sales, and check-
ing the previous tenovitcy to advancing prices.
Since Monday we have received nothing worth naming,
either coastwise or from Ireland, and of foreign grain into
this port the supplies fresh in today arc ,light, in compa-
rison with the Lags arrivals noted in our last ; the import
of Wheat, chiefly American and partly Eurupean, amount-
ing to 8,923 qrs only, which, with a few parcels of Barley,
Beans, and Indian Corn, and a moderately fair accession of
States, Canadian, and Spanish Flour, form the present arri-
vals from aeraml ; the exports, notwithstanding the recant
purchases fur the continent, being thus far unimportant.
We had a rather limited attendance of millers and dealers
at our market this morning, and the weather having cleared
un, though not yet settled in appearance, the transaction. in
W neat have been confined t o consumer., and a moderate
business done at Tuesday's rates; speculators, however,
generally acted on the referee, though some quantity of this
crain might have been placed at a slight cone, tt,ion in price.
The tone in Flour is much the some as in Wheat,
the sales being only in limited compass to-day,
and no quotable variation in value is perceptible.
Barley is scarce and inquired for, and Beans are in fair re-
quest at our full quotations. Oats and Oatmeal move
slowly at former rites. Indian Corn is in demand, and
rising in value ; good yellow bringing 335. to 335. Gd., and
fine white, 31s. to 31s. per 480,b5. Arrivals into Liverpool
and Runcorn from the 30th Aug to the Ist Sept.: Wheat,
8.923 qrs. ; Barley, 978 ; Oats, 644 ; Beans, 2.471 ; Peas,
2; Indian Corn, 1,150; Oatmeal, 1.117 seeks; Flour, 2,687
sack., 16,316 hula. Exports to Ireland Wheat, 321 qrs. ;
Indian Corn, 31 ; Flour, 1,39 G sack.', and 310 brls.
Wekertato, Sept. 2.—We continue to receive fair arri-
vals of Wheat, the appearance of flue weather on Tuesday
caused the trade to be very inactive, and a few partial sales
were made at rather lower prices—to-day and Teatt',..day
were wet, holders demand more money, and we quote en
advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. upon the few sales made, but
the extent of business is extremely limit. d. New Barley
is inquired for, but little offering. Oats and Shelling keep
their previous value. Beans are 2s. per qr. dearer for fresh
English, which are scarce. Only a small quantity of Wheat
was secured in the early part of the week, the reports of
