MARKET&

TALLOW.
(From the Circular of Yams. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.,

dated Friday evening .).
The tallow market has continued without any new
feature during the week to report, its chief charac-
teristic having been the same steadiness as for some time
past, with a good inquiry for the time of year from the
trade for present consumption, which, with there being
very little tallow of fine quality offering, has tended to im-
part a firmness on the part of holders, and resulted in a
maintenance of late rates for Y.C. in all positiorui hence to
the end of the year. Today, however, there has been much
dulness, and the following are the nearest quotations for
Y.C., viz.:-52a. 9d. for fine tallow on the spot ; 52a. :3.1.
for delivery in August and September; and 52.. per cwt.
for October to liecember. The import. since Mon-
day. up to last evening have been 2,301 casks. The
deLyenes have been 953 casks, and the present stock of all
kinds is 36,968 maks, being an increase of 996 casks when
compared with the quantity on hand this day week. Town
melted has ruled quiet during the week, with 52a. 6d. net
as the more general price current ; otherwise there has
been no new feature to rt, the supply, as well es the
quality, being still found t. To-day " the Letter
price " has been unaltered from 565., or say 525. 6d. per
cwt. net.

The public sales yesterday resulted as follows :-Bouth
American was held firmly for fully late rates, while, for a
portion of that submitted, rather higher prices were re.
quired, and hence business was restricted. 01 297 casks
offered, only 128 casks were sold, as follows :—Fuie, and
dvery fine,i 535. ; fair, 525. 9d. ; middling, and slightly
IllsrM,
ps2s. •i and iddling, deep yellow, 511. 6d. to
•er 01.
. .

Austrilan.—The Eff casks offered were of very middling
to low and inferior quality, of which 46 casks were sold at
full comparative prima, via. :-110a. 6d. for dark, but firm;
495. 3d. to 50s. for rather dark and dark greasy; and
465. 3d. to 48i. per cwt. for sery low, inferior and bad
smell.

East India was held firmly and of 24 hogsheads Calcutta
offered, only 8 were sold at 53e. 6d. for fine quality, the re,
mainder being chicfiy dark, and bought in at above buyers'
ideas of value.

China.-130 packages sold steadily at, comparatively,
rather low prices, viz, 521. (one lot 525. 3d.), for fair to good,
and Ms. 3d. per cwt. for repackers.
Gibraltar.- 4 maks, good to fine, were sold at 53a. 9d.,
while 14 barrels, being limited high, were bought in.
Cocos Nut Oil.-We have still to report a good inquiry
and advancing prices for this article. 239 casks Cochin
offered, all found free buyer, chiefly at 48e. 6d. to 48s. 9d.
(one lot 495.), for good to fine,j be' about 6d. higher than
Lot week. 60 casks Ceylon, of quality, also sold freely
at 46e. 68. (one lot 46‘. 9d.) • ' casks Sydney were strongly
eompeted for, and the whole sold as follows : Fine and very
fine, 455. 6d. to 465. 6d. ; fair and good, 45e. 3d. to 455. 9d.;
rather dark to middling, 435. to 45a. 68. ; dark and rather
ordinary, 41s. 91. to 425. 9d., down to 325. 6d. to 41.. &l.
per cwt. for more or lees common and inferior.
Palm 08.-There is no alteration to note in this article.
Holders are Finn, while buyers are evidently disposed to
purchase only to meet pressing wants. Of 544 casks
offered, only about 100 maks were reported sold at 45.. (one
lot 45.. 3d.) for line Lagos and Badsgry, and 445. 61. per
cwt. for ditto, in barrebi.
Stearine.-Of 31 cases French of common quality offered
only 4 cues were sold at Bd. per lb.

coTroN.—Liviraroot, Mintier 4.—We bare had • good
business again to-dali, with a steady market. The sales are
10,000 bales, including 8,650 American, at 40. to 81d. ;
1,000 Burst, at 2d. to 4/d. ; 100 Eaptian, at 7fd. to
12d. ; 120 Fermin, at 70. to 71d. ;30 Bahia, at 7ld. ;
100 Uaranham, at rid. to 81d. ; of which 4,000 are for specu-
lation and export. To-day's import is 3,094 bales.

COTTON GOODS. Mennen's, Acouer 4. —The
market this morning is fully as quiet as at any time during
the past week, and prices continue to droop. The letters
received by the India mail are generally found to be unfa-
vourable from Bombay and Calcutta, as well as from China.
They have consequently rather tended to weaken prices
than otherwise. A comparison of prices with what they
IMO at the commencement of last month shows a very
heavy decline in yarns and cloths of all descriptions ; but
against this must be placed a fell of id. to K. in the value
of the raw material. 7-8 printing cloth, which still holds
about the strongest position of any kind of cloth (though
calks printers are by no means so busy as they were a short
time ago), is about lid. per piece lower ; 9-8 ditto lid. to
4d. per piece lower. In T cloths there is some irregularity,
but they may be quoted lid. to 3d. lower ; and longcloths
have given way to the mama extent. Domestics, for which
not a few makers are under rather heavy contracts, are
1-161. per yard lower in some cases, but not generally.
Madepollams, lid. to 3d. per piece cheaper 9.8 grey
shirting 3d. to 6d. ; and 5-4 to 6-4 India shirting, 3d.
to 40 per piece lower than they were at the beginning of
July. In the latter the fall is greatest on the low qualities,
which up to that time had been relatively the dearest.
Figured and brocade shirtinp are 6d. lower. Mull muslin
are Id. to lid., and 5-4 and 6-4 grey jacconets are 241. to
3d. cheaper ; the finer kinds being about lid., and the
lower makes, under 8 picks, 24d. and 3d. down.

WOOLLEN.—Lrips, Aucust 4.—There was a rather
nonerous attendance of buyers in the coloured cloth market
this morning, and a fair business was transacted in nearly
all kinds of goods suitable for the season. In the white
cloth market only a very moderate business took place, and
the tone was fiat and quiet.

TALLOW.—SATURDAY.—The market was Satter today,
and prior* showed • slight reduction in some instances,
closing as follows:—Spot, 535. 6d. ; September, 525. to
52a. 3d. ; October to December, 52.5. to 525. 3d. ; January
to Mareh? 525. 6d. Deliveries to last evening, 1,289
casks; arrivals, 2,582 cuts.

HARDWARE.—Bumnicamg, Amer 4.—The trade of
this town has not improved to the extent anticipated a
fortnight ago. Many of the manufacturers are getting very
short of orders, though sufficiently supplied to enable them
to work steadily on without putting their men upon short
time. There is, however, more of unskilled labour out of
employment, and until the autumn trade has complett.elz
recommenced, no material improvement can be expec
inasmuch as the foreign trade is universally dull. In the
South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire district trade
is better than it is in the town, and the iron trade, though
not brisk, is sufficiently so to enable the producers of the
beat brands of fun/bed iron to adhere to the trade scale.
Wherever underselling has taken place it has been for an
inferior class of iron.

CORN.—CAISBRTDOZ. AUGUST 4.—We had a very small
market and wheat was unchanged in price from !eat week.
Wheat, 525. to 565. Beans, 445. Oats, 245. to gds. per
quarter.
CARLIBL/L, Auctuer 4.—We bad a small supply of wheat
at our market this morning. There was a good demand
at an advance of 6d. per Carlisle bushel on the week. Oats
and barley small supply, and a good sale at lad week's
rates. Wheat, white, new and old, Zis. 6d. to t-red,
new and old, t3s. to tie. erd. Barley, new and old, 16s.
to 16s. 6d. Oats, potato, 12s. bel3s. ; common, 10a.
to lls. 6d. Flour, per stone, 2s. 3d. to 2a. 51. Oat-
meal, per stone, 2s. 4d. to 2s. 6d. Ryemeal, per stone,
Is. &L Barleymeal, per stone. Is. Bd.
' ' ' • -

GOLCRESTES, Accutir 4.—A large supply of wheat and
almost nominal of other grain. Wheat declined Is. to 2s.
Barley and beans unaltered. Peas ls. dearer.
GLOUCERTZR,AUGUBT 4. —The weather has been unsettled
during the week with but little sun. At our to-day's
market, English wheat was in liberal supply and, on the
sales effected, last week's prices were paid. Foreign in
fair demand and unchanged. Grinding corn of all kinds
met a good consumptive sale at full prices. Oats the same
as la.. week. Imports of the week ending August 4:—
Wheat, coastwise, 7'20; foreign, 7,450 qrs. Barley, foreign,
18,210. Oats, Ireland, 690; orastwise, 1,100. Maize,
foreign, 6,440. Sundries, coastwise, 1,360 ; foreign, 1,370.
GUILDFORD, AUGUST 4.—There was an Increased supply
of wheat. Fine sorts were not mach in request, but other
descriptions were more easily disposed of, and in some
instances on rather better terms. Best white, 70s. ; red, 655.
HERTFORD, AUGUST 4.—We were very shortly supplied
with wheat to-der, still the trade was very dull, at rather
less money. Barley sold at last week's rotes. Oats a dull
trade. Peas and beans fully support last week's prices.
Wheat, 335. to 425. per load ; barley, 265. to 34e. per
qr. ; oats, 20a. to 28s. per qr. ; peas, 255. to 28s. per load ;
beans, 275. to 30a. per load.
. .

LEICESTER, AUGUST 4.—There was about an average
show of wheat on offer from the growers today for the
time of the year, and samples were for the mosepart in
good condition. Business was more active, and late rates
were on the whole fully supported. White qualities made
635. to 665. ; red, 60s. to 635. per 36 stone. The barley trade
ruled inactive, and there being a very meagre supply the
prices obtained were not much varied from those realised
last week, malting being quoted at 385. to 44a. per quarter;
other kinds made 36.. to 38s. per 30 stone. In oats the
amount of business done was pretty tolerable, and holders
succeeded iu fully maintaining the quotations of last Satin-
day ; old, 335. to 365. ; new, 30s. to 335. per 24 stone.
Beans met a steady sale, and, the show being limited, high
rates were asked and obtained ; uld, 48s. to sth. ; new, 46..
to 48s. per 38 stone. Fine flour, 45a. ; seconds, 43a. ;
thirds, 41s. per 20 stone.
' •

NICWCASTLII-UPON-TT2II, AUGUST 4.—At our market this
morning we had an extremely moderate show of wheat
from the grower', of which a clearance was effected at the
extreme rates of this day se'nnight, south country and
foreign being held very firmly ; the tranaactions in conse-
pietlet. were limited, our millers complaining that the
hrice of wheat does not correspond with that of flour ; we
owever, cannot see, taking into coosideration the exhausted
state of the stocks of wheat in the hands of our growers, and
the certainty of a late harvest, bow our buyera are likely
to benefit by delay. For old Norfolk rid We. was again
paid, Ws. for moderate new red, and Gls. Gil. for fine
coloured quality, all per 5041 be., the latter weighing scarcely
Whs. per bushel. For Stettin red Gls. was made with
difficulty, whilst Widest was offered at fi s. iu vain.
Flour moved off steadily at former rate", the quantity
offering being trifling. Grinding barley sold alowlv, but in
its value we quote httle variation. Malt, unless toe, tog-
lotted. Beans and was met little attention. Oats 11111 y be
written a shade dearer, with rather more inquiry.
The snivels this week are:—What, coastwise,
foreign, 2,657 qrs. Malt, coastwise, 115. Oats, foreign,
i 40. Flour, 989 sacks.

NORWICH, AUGUST 4.—The supply of wheat was
oaly fair at to-day's market, and the best descriptions
commanded last Saturday's rata; other qualities were
about Is. per qr. cheaper. In oats, beans, and pees there
wan not much doing. With the exoeption of partial
thunderstorms the weather during the week has been fa-
vourable for the growing crops, which, however, ripen
slowly, the sun being frequently obeemied by clouds, and
the temperature consequently rather kw tor the sensor.
White wheat is quoted this evening 60a. to 65a. ; red ditto,
565. to 60s. per qr. ; flour, 40s. to 41s. per sac from the
miller. Latest averages :—Wheat, 3,384 qrs., 59e.; barley,
22 qrs., 295. 4d.
NOTTINGHAM, Auccar 4.—There was only a limited
quantity of wheat offering, the supply consisting of a
sprinklmg of red and white sorts. The demand was firm,
andprioes were in some came Is. higher than last week.
White samples were disposed of at 62a. to 665. ; red,
58s. to 645. per 36 stone. The show of barley was again
exceedingltaanty, and the demand was about on par with
tphilseuzigliy, but prioes were quite as high as on the week
; grinding, 325. to 33e. per 30 store. Oats were
in limited supply, and met a tolerable demand at the full
currencies of last week ,• old realised 275. to 35e. • new, 295.
to 345. • new foreign, 275. to 30s. per 24 store. The supply
of bears was short, and a fair inquiry took place at prices
rather in favour of the buyer ; old, 48s. to 525. ; new, 475.
to 50a. per 38 stone. Super Sour, 445. to 48s. ; tine, 41a. to
435. per 20 stone.

OITORD Acucar 4.—But few samples of wheat changed
hands, and the business transactions may be quoted at last
week's rates. A dulness prevailed in all other kind°
of
grain, without any visible reduction in price.

Perzipoitocce, AUGUR? 4.—At our market today we
had • large supply of wheat, which met a slow sale at
under the prices of this day week. Barley
71.301ar. luntats and beans but few offering, and no alteration
In value. Wheat, best ird, 58s. ; common ditto, 55e. to
57s.per 5041h5. ; oats, ls. 31. per stone ; beans, 48e. per
qr. of 632165.

Humus°, AUGUST 4.—There was an exceedingly short
supply of wheat here this morning, and but a small atten-
dance. Holders asked in advance, but the market must be
quoted same as last week. Wheat, 40s. to 645. ; barley,
30s. to Os. ; este, 18s. to 325. ; beans, 425. to 50e. ; peas,
38e. to 46e. Households, 455. per sack ; seconds, 49e.
Hoarsens, AUGUST 4.—The market was not very nume-
rously attended, but the stands were rather better supplied.
For sound samples of English wheat the rate of last week
were pretty well supported, and a fair amount of business
was done on the part of millers and others, who showed no
disposition to agree to any advance in price. Foreign con-
tinues very firm, and the sales moderate, at the figures of
last market. The demand for good samples of barley was
moderate, and as the malting season is advancing good de-
scriptions of that kind of grain are in request. flat for
malting purposes is quoted fully as high to, last week, but
there was little doing in this description. inferior lots of
minding barley were rather easier to purchase. There was
but a moderate show of oats, but there being an abundance
of food for cattle the demand was inactive ; late prices,
however, were maintained, best samples being quoted As.
to 295. There was scarcely anything doing in the bean
trade, but from the present appearance of the crop there is
little doubt that the value of that article will be enhanced.
The flour trade was without excitement, and in some in-
stances millers have reduced the price is. per sack for
households and seconds.

WISBECH, AUGUST 4.—The weather during the week
has not been of that character which we hoped to see at
this season, and therefore but little progress has been made
in bringing the wheat crop to maturity. The supply of
wheat at this day's market was only moderate, and is. per
qr. dearer. Of spring corn the supply almost nothing, and
the value as last week. Prices to the grower:—Wheat,
white, Ma. to 58s. ; extra, 605., 6311 a. per bushel ; ditto
red, 545. to 565. • extra, 575. ; oats, is. 2d. to is. 3d. per
stone ; beans, 45i. to 48s. per qr. _ _

WORCRISTIR, AUGOBT 4.—There was an increased supply
at market to-day, but which was firmly held for last we des
rates. Barley the turn dearer. Rather more demand for
oats at previous rates. Beans firm, but in limited request.
Peas Is. per qr. higher.
YORK, AUOCEIT 4.—There was a middling attendance of
farmers and factors at our corn market this morning, but
the quantity of wheat exhibited was farfrombeingabundant.
The trade was 9uiet at the currencies of the week previous
for white descriptions rates varied from 625. to b6s. ; red,;
60s. to 645. per 36 stone. There was a very limited supply
of barley, the demand for which ruled slow, but buyers
were unable to effect purchases except at the full rates of
last week ; malting, nil ; grinding, 33a. to 355. per 30 stone.
A steady inquiry took place for oats, which being in short
supply were disposed of at their full value ; old, 325. ; new,
30s. to Us. per 24 stone. Beans (of which the show was
short) were well taken off at prices slightly over those of
last week, 455. to 48s. per 38 stone being the quotations.
Malt, 68s. to 70s. ; rye, 38s. per qr. Flour, 45e. to 475. per
20 atone.

KIRKCALDY, AUGUST 4.—At our corntry markets, this
week, we had very little passing in grain of any kind.
Farmers seem to have very little to offer, so that in any pur-
chases made full priors had to be paid. Here, today, we
had a better supply of wheat, which sold slowly at 6d. la
Is. per qr. lase aim last week. Only one parcel of beak
and a very few oats ; prices much as last week. Wheat,
50s. to 6th. per qr.; barley, 35e. 6d.; oats, 28s. to 304„
WATERFORD, AUGUST 4.—The weather in the telialt
of the week was hot and forcing, and several s of
tawny oats in the neighbourhood have been reaped.
Yesterday was showery, with rather low temperature, but
to-day it is fine again. We have had the trade quiet but
firm since the date of our last. Wheat has been rather
sought after, and in the few sales made extreme prices have
been realised. Barley we note the turn dearer, but oats
have given way 2d. to 3d. per barrel without attracting
much attention. The sale of Indian corn was not active in
the first part of the week, but the demand has somewhat
improved the last day or two, and prices may be quoted
about 3d. per barrel higher. Flour fully maintains the
late advance. Imports this week : Indian corn, 2,830 qrs.;
flour, 90 sacks. Exports this week : Oats, 2,480 brls.; flour,
935 seeks ; Indian oora, 20 bads.
