MARKETS.

TALLOW.
From the Circular of Messrs. Culvenrell, Brooks and Co.,
dated Friday Evening`.
The tallow market has laboured under much depression during
the week, an increasing desire en the part of holders to realise
having been displayed to an extent that has at the same time
created a somewhat general feeling of distrust, and which has
resulted in &decline of about ised. togs. for Y.C. on the spot, and
fur delivery this month, and fully Id. per cwt. for later periods,
when compared with those current last Friday. That a want of
omfidenee—not only on the part of holden, but also the manu-
facturers—should exist, Is in no way surpridug, when the
statistics of stocks, imports, and deliveries are considered; inas-
much as they clearly Indicate the anomalous position in which
the market it now placed: nor can we look for any revival In the
demand until prices may have receded to a level when they shall
be governed only by the course of supply and demand.
If evidence were wanting as to the determination of manu-
facturen to supply only pressing wants, as well as
of the general dull stet, of trade, it was fully testified
to-day by the result of the public We of We casks wrecked Y.C.
(stated below. ; for, notwithstanding the low prices accepted,
many of our principal chandlers who were present refrained from
buying. To-day the market has been vastly depressed, and the
following are present prices for Y.C. via. :-675, ed. to fea for
fine tallow on the spot 675. ed. for delivery this month : Me- for
April to Juno ; and gas. per cwt. :ffiellersi for October to Moan-
tier. The aggregate imposts sinew Monday up to Let evening
have been 7ss casks. The deliveries hive been only gig casks,
and the present stock of all kinds is 34,860 casks, being a decrease
of 402 casks when compared with the quantity on hand this day
week. Town melted has been much pressed for sale during the I
week at prices in no way governed by the " Market letter" of
last Friday. To-day some meiters have been alien at 655, in
anticipation of an espeeted reduction In the °Masi quotation of
3.., hut, as only 2s. 3d. has been conceded, the present " Letter
prim" is his.—or say 665. 6d. per cwt. net. At this figure, how-
ever, oarsmen are evidently nut buyers, seeing, as they mud,
that (Meese, etc., is to be had at a hoe price.
The public sales today resulted as follows :

attractive feature of the sales, while the result may be said to be
conclusive proof of the general distrust that preemie. The open-
ing prima was 665., which ;with the exception of one lot at
66a. 1,1., was maintained for 66 casks, when the biddings gradu-
ally gees way, lot by let, until 12s. wee accepted for 40 casks,
which price however, created general competition at advancing
prices, until 66a. to Ms. 3d. was again obtained—the last 200
koriginal, casks in the sale ranging from Ms. to 64e. Id. This
disparity of priors, we should observe, in no way resulted from a
difference of quality, the whole parcel being uniform and lotted
in consecutive numbers. The portion repacked realised 525. to
I its. M. per cwt.
Odaumand Taganrog.—The catalogues comprised 638 maks, hut
each was the feeling of buyers that, in the absence of any probs.
bility of effecting sales, only 263 casks were offered, and of which
only 10 casks were sold at 175. to 675. 3d. per cwt. for good
mutton. Holders are evidently disposed to sell, and we regard
these descriptions cheaper than any others at present rates.
French-15 casks catalogued were also not offered.
011waltar.-26 cask. were similarly treated.
Palm Oil is without any new feature to notice. Holders are
firm, while buyers restrict their purchases to pressing wanta.
Of 83 auks Whydah offered, only 21 cask, tine quality were sold
at the We at Ms. per cwt.
Cuero& Nut 01L—Cochin continues in limited request, and 117
casks good to fine offered, were all bought In at late rates. Cey-
lon was also difficult of We, and of 126 asks submitted, only
about 20 casks were sold at 428. per cwt. for good to fine.

COTTON 000D8.-IKANCliregit, MARCH 17.—The amount of
the week's transactions has been very small, and the prospect of
revered thinness Is uncertain, though we noticed an Improve.
ment yesterday. During the week there has been a concession
in price on domestics In some of the cases where sales have taken
place, but there has been a very limited business. The heavier
sorts have been much neglected, but the market being bare of
stock, is tolerably Arm. In printing cloth. producers are making
to order, and there Is no particular change In prices, except that
the narrow widths are a shade easier In some ratan... In
shirtingc Se-inches have been altogether neglected ; and in HA
inches of all aorta the operations have been very few, sellers
being disposed for fresh eentricts at a concession of lid on last
week's rates. In yarns there Is no great nrinuess where contract,
' are drawing to a close, and In East India and Chins descriptions
of mule and water in most caws prices may be quoted id. to ed.
per lb. lower than on Tuesday weak.

WOOLLEN.—LTKIM, Malice 17.—The market seas rather fiat
thin morning. The attendance was not large, and the business
principally In cotton warps and other light fabrics. The transac-
tions were, however, only to a moderate extent, and not equal to
those of kat weals.

HARDWARlL—Bliffiffitonex, MARCH state of trade
In this town is marked by much of healthy activity. The manu-
facturers In all the leading branches are working full time upon
orders. There is no appearance of elacknees In any department,
and the factors, who ere most conversant with the state of the
country trade, report of it as presenting Indications full of pro-
mime for the future. The labour market Is In a satisfactory posi-
tion in fact, ever since the commencement of the year there
has been a difficulty in obtaining a sufficient number of men In
Rome of the trades. In South Staffordshire and Zest Worcester-
shire matters are In much the same position: the iron trade Is
undoubtedly rather rat, that being the only Important exception
to the prevailing prosperity.
