TALLOW.—The followiag remarks oa the tallow market
are extracted from the monthly circular of Messrs. Smith
and Charles, dated the Ist August : " In our last monthly
circular we attributed the advance which occurred in tal-
low, in June, to the sudden and active demand which arose
from the seep trade upon the repeal of the soap duty, and to
the operations of speculators who had in the course of that
month been purchasing tallow in the expectation of the
Russo-Turkish question terminating in war. We also ven-
tured the opinion that, should this question be peaceably
arranged, a decline might be expected, from the re-selling
of these parties. Such a movement occurred in the past
month. It is not for us to determine whether the Turkish
question may be considered asset at rest; suffice it to say
that the majority of those who had bought tallow on war
prospects, suddenly resolved (on 12th July) to effect sales ;
and produced by their operations a decline of from 2s. tid. to
3s. per cwt. We start, then, this month, having lost the
extra price to which tallow had been raised by anticipation
of war, and have again to go back for future guidance to
the questions of supply and demand. The originally esti-
mated Petersburg supplies appear to be borne out, and we
must not expect the shipment to exceed to all parts 100 m.
casks, which is considerably below the average of the last
thirty years, though greater than last year. The latest ad-
vices from Austraiia and River Plate still indicate that we
must expect very short supplies from those quarters, as
compared with former years. As regards the supply of
home tallow, we hear from all sides that it is short of an
average. The high price of animal food is attracting a large
importation of cattle from the continent, but, as they arrive
in very bad condition, they add little to the production of
home tallow. The trade is bare of stock, and we anticipate
therefore a good demand in the autumn. After declining
to 50s. for October and December, on Friday last, our mar-
ket has again re-acted, and to.day there has been a strong
disposition to purchase tallow for future delivery at ad-
vancing prices. Our closing quotations are Y. C. (1852),
51s. to SOs. 9d.; (18.51), 50s. Bd. October and December,
50s. Gd., buyers ; January and March, 511., buyers; sepa-
rate months, 515."

COTTON.—LavgaPooL, duo. I.—The market closed
tamely and steadily, without change in the currency of Out
week. The America's advises did not exercise any per-
ceptible influence upon the market. The sales to day have
amounted to 10,000 bales, 1,000 of which have been taken
for export, and a similar quantity on speculation. The sales
beside Americans comprise 160 Peruams and Maranhams,
at &Id. to 300 Egyptian, at 60. to 100 ; 2,000
Surata, at 3}4. ; 4td.; 60 Sea Islands, at 2s. to 2a. 9d.
