With reference to the tallow trade, a circular
11 issued last evening contains the following :
This market continues steady, at the quotations, but the
demand for present consumption la much increased. A.
short time since we stated in our weekly report that en
unusually large consumption of foreign tallow might be an-
ticipated in the ensuing season in emiaequence of the great
deficiency in the home supply. That prediction is already
partly verified by the large detaand for tallow on spot,
which is now considerably in eters., of former years, and a
solely attributable to the lar4ely diminished supply of
English tallow. It is asserted in several districts, more
especially in the north and west, that the home produce is
now only sufficient for the summer consumption, instead of
furnishing a surplus to commence the new season with. The
elect of this has been to increase the consumption of foreign
tallow in the Lett fourteen days to 3.755 casks, against only
1,494 casks in the same period last year.
