TALLOW.
--e-

dated Friday Eveaing•)

The tallow market during the past week has exhibited
some irreguhrity ; but the general tendency has bees to
increased ease in quotations, more especially for new Y.C.
for future delivery, and on which, up to yesterday evening,
a decline of about Is. per cwt. on our last week's prices bad
been established. In old Y.C., also, some slight reduction
bad been submitted to ; but the business done in the lathe'
has again been very considerable, the trade baring been
large buyers ; and some extensive purchases have also been
made for the Continent, chiefly for France. The latter,
however, were mostly the re-sales only (at some considers.
hie loss) of parcels taken a few weeks previously on specula.
tine by other exporters ; the deliveries, however, have been
large, and the market might have exhibited more steadiness,
especially in transactions for ready delivery ; but on the
somewhat unexpected announcement that a very large
quantity of the old Y.C. tallow still held by the Ruesone.
would be submitted this day for public sale (the particulars
of which we have given below), considerable inisgivings
were created as to the result, and business was in cons..
quence greatly impeded, many considerable orders being
either suspended or withdrawn. The irregular course
adopted by the owners of this tallow, in their attempts to
dispose of it, is not the least unsatisfactory phase in the
career of the monopoly to which we have so often had
occasion to allude ; nor is it much consolation to reflect
that the injury inflicted by it on legitimate trade,
great as It unquestionably has been, is now
reacting with far greater force on the mistaken originators of
the scheme in question. We trust that the lesson the mo.
nopolists are even now receiving may prove as salutary as it
is severe, and may teach them the utter impossibility of
long confining the free spirit of speculation within the com-
paratively narrow sphere of their own operations.
Today the market for New Y.C. Tallow has been again
very quiet, prices turning rather in favour of the buyer ;
but no important business has been transacted. 465. 6d. is
quoted for delivery all the year ; 475. per cat. January to
March.

The arrival. for the week ending the Bth instant were
1,511 casks; deliveries, 3,264 casks ; stock, 53,250 cask%
being a decrease of 1,753 casks.
Town tallow has not been in much demand, the press being
high compared with other descriptions which at this maws
of the year compete with it also in quality. This evening
the " Letter Pnce" is 495. 3d. or 46e. 9d. net cash. Fat,
2e. 5!,,d. per stone of 81be.
The results of the public aides of to-day are given below.
Old Y.C.-2,554 casks of 1&59 and 1/400, Macke, were
advertised to-day for auction, but the farce, or rather the
second act of the fame, of withdrawing a large portion was
again gone through with—a performance now rather stale
and uninteresting from repetition, and not very profitable
we should imagine to many of the parties concerned. The
trade were prepared to buy a fair quantity at a fair price,
and about 400 casks were disposed of in the room, and after
the sake a few parcels more were placed. Prices ranged
from 445. 3d. to 435. for fair quality to fine.
Odessa.—Holders of the few parcels now in the market
estimate its value somewhat too highly. We have heard of
no transactions to any amount worth reporting. Prices are
nominal, say 465. for mutton ; 445. to 445. 6d. per cwt.
beef. Three maks only were offered to-day, being beef of
middling quality ; they brought 435. 3d. per cwt.'
South American has been in very limited demand, but
full rata' have been obtained for the few paroels (mostly
fine pipes) disposed of ; 553 auks and 100 boxy were sulo
mitted to•day, but bidding were not animated. The best
sorts brought 47a, Bee pale dry tallow in barrels. The
average run of fine pipes were not competed for, and were
mostly bought inat47s. One lotofgoodquality, pale, brought
45e. 9d. Good mixed descriptions of fax body, and rather
brown colour, sold at 425. 6d. to 42e. 9d. One lot, of mixed
greasy character, at 41s. 9d ; 113 casks were disposed of.
46a. 6d par cwt. was obtained for a parcel of good pipes
before the sales. _ _

Acu;ti;lian has shared in the general neglect, which
" sorts" have experienced in consequence of 4e abundant
supply of old Y.O. ; and the transactions have been few and
unimportant, prices being nominally the Name as reported
last week. To-day, 41 casks only were brought forward,
which were all sold at 435. Gd. to 435. 9d. (one cask very
dark and foul at 415.); the quality was good sound mixed of
fair colour. Fine mutton and beef are quoted respectively
465. and 435. 3d. to 44e. per cwt.
North Americas.-22 'barrels of good colour and medium
body were offered, and sold at 43e. 9d. to 445. per cwt.
East India.—There has been nothing dose during the
week of any moment. 130 oases were offered to-day, mostly
of medium character ; they were all bought in at 43e. rd. to
455. Eight asks and 134 skins of Mauritius wore all sold ; the
casks fine dry pale quality at 475. 3d. ; and the skins, good
sound tallow, of fair colour, rather veiny, at 45e. 9d. per
cwt.

Cocoa Nut Oil has maintained since our last report a very
steady appearance, the business done has been considerable.
and prices have been well supported, our last quotations
ruling generally tbrooghout the week. The principal bun.
nen has again been created by the continental demand.
141 casks Cochin and 102 casks Ceylon were brought for-
ward to-day, but were bought in at 445. 6d. and 43a. td. per
ewt. In Sydney
.we hear of no transactions ; a parcel is
expected for public sale next week.
Palm Oil has continued steady, former prices being ob.
tained ; but the demand has been limited. To-day 729
casks were offered, only 32 casks of which found buyers.
42a. 9d. to 43a, was paid for fine Lagos ; 38e. per cwt. fo.
inferior quality, stained and dreggy.
Palm nut oil is in very limited supply. Prices continue
at our last quotations, say 365. for good quality. 19 cask.,
mostly inferior, were brought forward; there was no de.
mend, and they were bought in at nominal figures.
South American Hone Grease.—The business; doing is at
prices last quoted, 38s. per ewt. being still obtained for the
small quantities in request, at which price 200 cases and 11
casks were bought in to-day.
