goods for consignment abroad, but a good steely
business in mast quarters, with, generally Speak-
ing, small stocks of goods in the wetalannon
and a full measure of employment Ake the
manufacturing population. At Mnaeatesin Abe
transactions have not exoeeded moderate limits,
owing to the general scarcity of goods. It is re-
marked that a number of the manufacturers who
lave long been engaged i.d supplying the Indian
demand are now turning their attention to fabric
required by ocher markets. Many foreign cus-
tomer% kept waiting • long time, whilst India
was being served, are now becoming impatient,
and bedding higher. The extent to which the con-
trasts entered 'into are in execution of "positive
" orders ;" thti heavy engagements of manufacture's,
KIM of whom are unable to promise the delivery of
serials articles until February ; and the activity of
the " home trade," form extremely satisfactory
features.

From Huddersfield we hear that " employment
" cantinas, good, and the year promises a prosperous
" close." At Leeds trade is described se " exceed-
" ingly firm and good;" and though the tranmetions
ate sot large, the bulk of the business is dope by
direct deliveries at the merchants' warehouses—" a

" sum aign of • sound and healthy trade." At
Bradford, the manufacturers of pima geode are only
partially engaged, but the demand for yarns, both I
far export and the home trade, keeps spinner, fully
employed- At Rochdale, moat of the flannel mans- •
fasts:ors are still busy upon order., instead of work.
Mig " into stock." Ihe Nottingham lace manatee-
tam hems an exception to the generally contented
simaractor of the reports; dulness prevails; foreign
odors ate limited; and the hands are only partially
employed. lo the hosiery branch, however, there is •
still an excellent business goiug forward for ship-
ment ; stocks are small, and trade in the coquetry
districts is " good." At Leicester the hosiery trade
is in " • very healthy and satiafastory condition, and
the season has been, upon the whole, a very pros-
" prom coo." At Belfast a good business is going
forward, at very firm prices, both for linen goods
and yarns. At Dundee, trade is described as " moan-
" what buoyant"
On the 7th of November we drew attention
to the speculative inflation in the tallow
market. The stock of "Y. C." tallow—the article
to which the gambling is confined—consisted then
of 46,206 casks; it is now about 60,000 casks. At
the corresponding period of last year it was 33,000
casks; in 1867, 35,000; and in 1866, 18,000. On
the 7th of last month the prim was 695. on
the spot, and 68s. 6d. for delivery in " January
"to March." The present quotations are respec-
tively 651. 6d. and 545. 9d. to 651. There has been,
therefore, a fall of as. 6d. per cwt., or U. 10a. per
too, attributable mainly to the general seam of the
critical and artificial state of the market, to the
aceumulation of the stock, and to the continued
superseding of St. Petersburg tallow by Odessa and
other descriptions, and by fatty articles generally.
In estimating the supply of tallow we must not
leave out of account the ►arge quantity which, in-
stead of being shipped in the usual course to this
country, has been kept back and warehoused in
Russia. As the bulk of it must eventually come
hither, it may be counted upon with almost as much
certainty as if it bad already been added to our stock.
In addition to the combination formed by the Rus-
sians, there were various individual speculators who
followed their movements,likewiee buying up tallow.
, The latter have shown anxiety to realise before the
bubble bursts—as beret it eventually most ; and the
supply of " paper-tallow " thrown upon the market
from this source has contributed to the collapse. The
smaller speculators, in fact, are getting out upon the
backs of the larger. The members of the Russian
association, on the other hand, have been occupied
with devices for maintaining their position as with-
holder, of tallow from consumption, and have sue-
seeded in obtaining pecuniary advances upon their
stoek from various sources. It is not quite im-
possible that they may even yet bring • re-
newed force to bear upon the market, and tempora-
rily drive the price op agaiu. Could they meet with
operators bold enough to sell on spoculetion, their
object would be greatly facilitated. Of this, how-
ever, there appears to be little prospect, every dealer
haring become very wary. As soon as the shifts of
opposing speculators are exhausted, the trade in tal-
low, like the trade in other commodities, will re.
soma its natural course. Meanwhile, the public
watch with a good deal of interest this attempt to
" forestall," upon a gigantic scale, an article of every-
day consumption. Were the operations of the
tallow-holders based upon legitimate commercial
calculations, referring to an existing scanty supply,
a probable fats» falling off in the supply, or • pro-
bable increase in the consumption, noon' would have
a word to say against them. Oa the cootrary, all
would be ready to recognise their sagacity. Span-
lotion has its res. But all the statistics of the trade
point in an opposite direction. The stock in hand is
unprecedentedly large, and the consumption far below'
• the average, and yet the price is extraordinarily
high. The existing speculation, therefore, cannot
be ranked in the legitimate class. It is the work of
the jobber and gambler, not of the merchant. Upon
these grounds, though we are well aware that the
price is not to be " written down," we ans warranted
in keeping the exceptional position of this market
before the public eye.

With reference to the duration of Cardinal Wise-

• THE CONGRESS.
The pinione of Turin announces that the govern-
ment of King Victor Emmannel has been invited to
send a representative to the Congress, upon the same
conaitions, and with the same powers u the other
cabinets. The same journal states that the provi-
sionalgovernmentsofCentralltaly willsend delegates
to Paris to expound their interests, which, moreover,
will fiod aA active defender in the Sardinian pleni-
potentiary.

Ws find in a new journal of Milan, the Pe►sere-
rana, a memorial addressed to the European Con-
gress of 1860 by the Neapolitan exiles.

THE REGENCY OF CENTRAL ITALY.

The Tuscan Monitsur publishes the conditions
of the arrangement conoluded at Turin be-
tween the representatives of Sardinia and Central
Italy on the subject of tke regency of M.
Suoncompagni. The latter receives the title
of " Governor-Oeneral of the League of the
provinces of Central Italy," but his office is reduced
to " maintaining good relations between the said pro-
wl:tom and between them and the government of
Victor Emmanuel." Re will "transmit to the com-
mander-general of the forces of the League the
orders concerning all the military arrangements of
the united provinces, and he will have the direction
of the collective diplomatic negotiations whenever
this is consented to by the particular governments,
who will still maintain their relations with foreign
governments by means of direct agents, in order to
realise the object of union with the constitutional
kingdom of King Victor Emmanuel."

Aleut all the evening papers state in their lead-

I have no atater:als for contradicting them. Unim-
portant conjectures, or scraps of intelligence from
England and Germany touching the congress and
its probable composition, are the only food of the
French papers for the moment, so far u European

SATUADAT EVININO.
The Boone, after opening somewhat heavily,
became very animated in the afternoon. The Rents,
which at one time fell to 70.13 and 70.26, closed at
70.20 and 70.60, with a tall of 10c. for cash, and a
rise of 6c. for account. Mobilier rose 10f. ; Spanish
Mobilier, 2.60. The Lyons, Orleans, and Western
Railways rose sf. each; Northern was withonh

There is a report that on New Year's-day the
Prefect of the Seine will change his title, and will be
called Minister of State for Paris.

In consequenoe of the success of a French review
got up by refugees in London, the government
thinks of starting an organ of Napoleonist ideas in
that capital; a daily newspaper in the French lan-
guage is spoken of.
