MARKETS.

TALLOW.

(From the Circular of imam Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.,
dated Friday evening.)
The tallow market since our last report (of the 7th inst.)
has presented no feature of special interest, having been
subject throughout the week to • general dulness, both in
the business for consumption and in speculative operations;
prices upon the whole have experienced but little change,
but the tendency has been rather in favour of the buyer.
Some few speculative purchases have been made, mostly for
delivery at the end of the year, at about our histquotations ;
but although the present avec& of the market Las offered
some inducement to effect sales of this description there is
still • very wholesome caution manifested by the majority
of operator. iu this direction, the remembrance of last sea-
son's misfortunes, and some apprehension of the power of
the Russian monopolists spin to bring about • similar
visitation, having 'hitherto had the effect of materially
checking this description of business, and confining it within
very narrow limits. Meanwhile, the position of the mono-
polists themselves is not enviable, not daring to buy at pro.
seat rates, and unable to induce the cautious "bears to
take the bait offered, and sell to the extent required
to make an account @efficiently heavy to render
the repetition of the former tactics of the said mono-
polkas a profitable undertaking. We trust that the latter
will soon have the conviction forced upon them that their
speculation will "not pay," and will be induced to a'oantlon
it, there being, we believe, little or no chance of their re-
covering their former position.
The business in new Ist sort T. C. tallow today has been
of no importance, and prices are almost nominal-5U lid.
being quoted for the month • and 525. to 52.1. 3d. per cwt.
for delivery October to Decsimber.
The arrivals for the week ending the 13th instant were
1,82$ casks ; deliveries, 1,097 cash ; stock, 0,353 casks,
showing an increase of 731 casks.
Town Tallow has been in fair supple, but without any
execs 'sufficient to induce melters to offer it on conditbos

more than usually favourable to consumers. Its present
position, however, has great influence in keeping other de-
cript inns at moderate rates. This evening the letter price is
unaltvred, say 525. 9d., or 50s. 3d. per cwt. net cash. Fat,
2a. Std. per stone of Bibs.
Old Y. C. has met with little demand, the price being
considered too high ; 525. 9d. per cwt. having been gene-
rally demanded.
Odema.—We have been almost without supplies. Prices
arc nominal.
