ing in reference to the Tallow Market :—A fair
business doing at 53s to 53s 61 for P.Y.C., and
53s to 54s per cwt. for South and North Ameri-
can. The London market is very steady, closing
firmly last night at 53s 3d per cwt on the spot,
and 51s 3d October, December. The half-weekly
delivery is only 567 casks, against 1,323 in 1855,
and the present stock 11,338 casks against 42,202
casks last year.

There has been no material alteration in the
Funds to-day, and though opening with some
animation, the promise was not supported during
the day, owing partly to the final adjustment of
the Railway Share and Foreign Stock account.

On the Paris Bourse yesterday the mark et
recovered the fall of the previous day, which was
chiefly occasioned by the favourable bank returns
(of which the chief items are given below), and
the reported firmness of the English Funds at an
advance. It was stated on the Bourse that the
Bank of France intend to reduce the rate of
discount. Purchases of Rentes continue upon a
large scale. The 3 per cent Rentes left off at an
improvement of 20c for the account and 10c for
the money, and the 41 per cents 90c for money and
35e for the account. Railway Shares fluctuative.
