TALLOW.
(From the eircedarof *terra. Culves:well, Brooke, and 00.

dated Friday E.veniog.)'

The principal feature in the tallow market since our report
of last week was the excitement which prevailed on the sth
instant, leading to a sudden and considerable advance in
prior, new Y. C. tallow ruling for an hour or two at 52a.
for the year and 525. lid. for the spring, at which quotations
a weederable quantity was sold, mostly, however, in the
way of @settlements of outatauding engagements. There ap-
pears to have been no particular or sufficient cause for this
rather violent movement ; it was traceable, however, to a
general impression that the unusual delay in the
arrivals of new Y. C. tallow would, in connexion
with the great demand fur old, encourage holders
of the former to denoted, at least for a time, con-
siderably higher rates ; and possibly many speculative put-
, chases were made on this contingency. The decline in
pekes was, however, as sudden as the rise ' • and the market,
since the date of the advance in question, has been remark-
ably inactive, and very few speculative transactions have
taker place. At the close of !maims' yeaterdly quotations
were, for new Y.C. on the spot, 49e. 6d., 495. for the year,
and 495. 9d. January to March ; old Y.C. selling at 465. 611.
to 49a. In the general market a good business has been
dose, and the deliveries have continued much above the
average ; this of course has great influence in checking a fall
in prices; and although the speculative demand is not
active, there are ready buyers, at a trifling abatement on
the current quotations. There is every reason for expecting
that a continuous good dimmed will be meintaiued during
the season. Tallow will come into no competition with
substitutes of any importance, all articles of a kindred
' nature, includiug English tallow, being relatively very dear ,•
and there seems no reason why importers and others should
not be able to maintain prices at or near their present level,
especially at there ia every prospect of the bulk of the new
tallow corning into strong hands.
There has been more firmness in the market to-day, and
at the close sew Y.C. tallow cannot be quoted under Ns.
for ready delivery, the same for ell the year buyers, 50s. lid.
January to March. Old Y.C., 495. 3d.

supply is. upon the whole, rather deficieut. The Letter
price" this evening is unaltered,-say 52e. 9d. or 50a. 3d.

forward, some of it of very superio.rjoality. and 814 casks
were Bold. Very fine mutton realised 50s. 6d. to 524., the
competition causing the difference in price ; second descrip-

brought forward; but there was very little inquiry, and

Lee quality bringing 445. to 445. 6d. per cwt.-the latter for

There is to American cotton at sea, but 222,146 Sunda,

India. The following are the official quotations as deter-
mined by the General Broken' Association :—Fair Orleans,
11411. ; middling, 100. ; fair Mobile, 11d. ; middling, 10.4 d. ;
fair Uplands, 10jd. ; middling, 1044.

COTTON GOODS.— ILancnewrim, OCT. 11.—There has
again been a good deal doing in yarns, at fully Id. per lb.
advance on Tuesday's prices. There has been a fair amount
of business for Calcutta, Bombay, and China ; sod German
houses and those iu the home trade have purchased pretty
freely. The market appears to be still gaining in strength.
The advance since this day week is nearly Id., arid in some
cases id. per lb. There is some irregularity in quotations,
some spinners being more ready to meet the offers of buyers
than others. There has been a little more doing in cloth
since Tuesday, at an advance in prices. This is owing, as
on Tuesday, a good deal to the excitement prevailing in the
Liverpool cotton market, and the demand is supposed
to be a purely speculative oue, as there seems to
be no legitimate inquiry for shipping purposes. The
business done has been mostly in cloths suitable
for India, at higher rates than on Tuesday, and some
manufacturers are asking 3d. to lid. per piece iulvanoa, but
extreme rates tend to ck operations. At a moderate
advance some good sales have been made. but principally
fee speculation. In cloths generally, and for other than
eastern markets, there is no particular change in prices,
but business is more active than last week. The movement
for reducing production is still going on ; and in Stockport,
it in reported, seven mills are stopping altogether. It
will be seen that at Liverpool the sales have reached 20,000
bales to-day ; and it is reported that some of the manufac-
turers here, who stocked themselves largely vrithootton
some time since, are sending large portions of it back ,to
Liverpool for resale at the high speculative rates now ob-
taining.

CORN.—CHELMSFORD. OCT. 11.—There was only a
moderate supply of wheat at market to-day, and a good
demand, at an advance of 2s. on white, and la. to 2a on
red, the former making 6.b to 655.; red, 58e. to 625. Bar-
ley slow, except for the &nest quality, which kept its price
—3ss. to 40a; extra, 41s. Beans scarce and rather dearer.
Ltricour, Ocr. IL —Our market has been fairly supplied
with wheat, which meta good demand at Is. to N. higher.
Barley slow sale, at a little under last week's prices.
Wheat, red, 545. to 605.; white, 60s. to 64+. Barley, 20s.
to 375. Oats, 228. to 245. Beans, 43e. to 465.
LIVRILPOOL, OCT. 11.—There was only a moderate attend-
ance of buyers at this day's market, but a strong demand
appearing from Ireland, sellers had the advantage, and the
advance made on the rates of this clay se'nuight must be
quoted at 4+l. per cents' on wheat and Ia per barrel and
sack on flour. Indian corn attracted much attention both
from speculators and shippers, and the decline submitted to
during the week was not only fully recovered, but at the
close of the market it was difficult to boy under the ex•
teems sates of Friday last. Oats and oatmeal bring full
prices. BEAM, peas, and barley are each from 6d. to Is.
per quarter higher on the week. The market ruled very
strong throughout.
WAIL/ILL% OCT. 11. —The supplies of grain continue
moderate. Wheat was N. per quarter dearer in price at
the opening to-day than it was last Friday. so that business
was restricted, but a fair amount has since been sold at an
advance of only is. Fine barley is steady, but other kinds
are dull of sale. No change in other articles. Average
week ending Oct. 7 : —Wbeat, 2,817 we., at 588.90.; barley,
905, at 365. 90.; oats, 140, at 21a. 61d.; beans, 92, at
43e. 2A.; peas, 35, at 365.
