MARKETS.

TALLOW.
(From the Circular of Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.,
dated Friday Evening.)
There has been considerable inactivity in the tallow
market during the peat week ; the demand from the trade
has slackened to some extent, and contrasted with the re-
cent unusually large deliveries, the quantity taken for the
last few days, although of fair amount, appears rather light.
The market has also had to contend with the usual influence
of very heavy arrivals, and the uncertainty (which usually
exists upon these occasions) as to the destination of the
goods, has bad some effect on prices ; iu addition to which
percale from scale have been offered on terms favouring
the buyer to the extent of about lid. per cwt. in some in-
stances. Speculative business has shared in the
present inactivity, and lower figure, have bees
current, 51e. being the lowest price whith, up
to yesterday evening, had been quoted for new Y.C.,
this being in some instances accepted for the year, the gene-
ral quotations being 51s. 6d. to 525. on the spot ; 51e. 3d. to
51s. 6d. all the year ; 51s. 6d. sellers, for December ; and
52a. 3d. fur delivery, January to March ; old Y.C. still
bringing 51a. " Sorts" have continued to maintain re-
latively very high prima. Stocks ate not large, and they
are well held, higher rates being expected.
To-day the general inactivity noticed above has con-
tinued, with some slight decline in quotations. The closing
prices this evening for new Y.C. tallow are 51e. 3d. for im-
mediate delivery, 50s. 9d. all the year, and about the same
for December ; 51s. 91. for January to March. Old Y.C.
is still selling at .51s. per cwt.
The arrivals for the week ending the 21st inst. were 11,426
(*ski ; deliveries, 2,613 casks ; stock, 42,734 casks ; show-
ing an increase of 8,793 casks.
Town Tallow.-The poultice of the market has rather
favoured buyers, the relatively high price ruling, in connec-
tion with some increase in quantity, having left more goods
in stock than can readily be disposed of. This evening there
is a reduction of Is. 6d., the " Letter" price being Us. 3d.
or 51a. 9d. per cwt. net cash. Fat, 2a. 9d. per stone of Blbi.
The quantity of tallow, oils, C.c., offered today was small;
we give particulars below.
South American. -Business bas been very limited; the
prices generally demanded being obtained with difficulty.
525. :U. has been accepted during the week for a small quan-
tity of first miss, but 53e. has been the current quotation.
To-day 80 casks were offered, but only $ casks of bright
yellow description, which brought 51. 3d. per cwt., were
sold, 52a. Gd. being demanded for fair to good avenge
quality in pipes, at which price they were bought io.
Australian.-Tbere has been some demand for good beef,
and a few parcels have changed hands at 50s. 6d. to 51s.
during the week. There has not been much Australian is
the market ; 1149 casks ware brought forward to-day, 161
tasks being sold ; 2 casks of fair mutton brought 51s. Gd. ;
good to hoe beef, 50e. and 50s. Gd. ; mixed descriptions,
especiall of low quality, were rather strongly competed for,
and realised high prime ; good sorts brought 48s. Gil. to
50s. 3d. ; middling, of fair body, and rather heavy colour,
475. to 4ss. ; very dark tallow bringing 46e. to 465. Gd. per
cwt. There is no mutton in the market.
North American-East India.-We hear of so business
worth reporting. Small quantities of the former have found
buyers at full rates during the week. Five casks of mid-
dling quality brought 49e. per cwt. at auction to-day. In
East India there are uo transactions. We hear of nothing
offering. Stocks extremely light.
Cocoanut OiL-A moderate amount of business only has
been tnuisacted ; buyers have to p 4 full quotations, stocks
being mostly in strong hands, and holders allowing no dispo-
sition to yield. Our last figures are still current, say
50e. 6.1. to 51s. for Cochin, and 49a. 6d. to 50s. for Ceylon.
Sydney is rather in demand, at full prices. To-day there
was nothing offered for public sale worth noticing.
Palm Oil has been steady, but the demand has not been
active, and the full current rates are obtained with some
difficulty. 455. Gd. to 461. have been quoted for line qua-
lities. 285 casks were submitted to-day, 249 of which were
sold, these being fair sound quality from Accra, of rather
heavy colour, at 435. 341. sod 435. 641. per cwt. Fine de-
scriptions were bought in at 465.
Palm Nut Oil.-There is very little in the market, and
we have no alteration to report. Two casks only were
offered to-day, of medium quality, for which 39,. 61. was
obtained.

South American Home Gresee.—Salee have recently
been affected at 40a. to 41a. per cwt.

COTTON COODS.—Maccuitermt, Nov. 2.l—There is
no new feature in the market today, but notwithstanding
the inanimate state of the market, as described in previous
reports during the week, there is some business offering in
cloths fur the Continent, at an approach to remunerative
prices. These, however, are mostly for favourite makes of
T cloths and other goods, 11 Lich almost always command •
market. There is also a little doing for India, but nothing
compared with what might have been expected from the
favourable nature of late advice* both from Calcutta and
Bombay. In domestics very little business during the
week, and all descriptions of printing cloths have
been much neglected. Shirting's, both 40.ioch and 36-
iocb, are dull, but the prices of all kinds of
cloth are well maintained. The tone of the yarn market
is considered rather more favourable to buyers, but without
yielding'aay advantage in price so far. Buyers continue to
show as great a want of confidence in the present high
rates as they manifested on Tuesday. There is great irregu-
larity, however, and the market is in a very irregular and
anomalous position, some kinds of spinners and manufac.
turers working to order and keeping free of stocks, while the
producers of other kinds of goods are unable to sell, and
are stocking extensively.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lama, Nov. —The coloured
cloth ball was pretty well attended this morning, • few
foreigners being amongst the visitors. Apparently, how-
ever, their object was to gain information for the spring
their purchases were insignificant. No ve*- lively demand
was noticeable in any department. Spring tweeds and
meltous were in moderate request, and • little business was
i done in heavier fabrics. In the white market there was an
active demand for heavy overcastings, witness having the
readiest sale. There was • good call for Batley goods.
White cloths of any description were not much in request.
At Yeaden, be., the manufacturers of light meltous are in-
censing their operations for the spring, and the Gnash);
makers continue to he briskly cog...gni. There is certainly
• slight improvement apparent in the general feeling of the
diatziet.

HA RDWARE.—HIRMINCHAM, Nov. 7.t.—The trade of
this town has slightly improved this week. The fresh
orders distributed are on account of the home trade, and
from their character it is evident the country shopkeepers
ore making up stocks for the boatman which always imme-
cUateb !accedes Christmas. Generally, the fresh orders in
arefur small quantities of goods, but this will be sufficient
to keep up a steady though moderate trade here for the
next two or three weeks ; this, too, atnougst the smaller
! class of manufacturers who have of late suffered a good
deal from that kind of stagnation which has
pervaded the country trade in every department.
The lamp and chandelier makers are doing a steady trade,
but io all the fancy branches business is dull, and there are
a cousiderahle number of persons who are only partially em-
ployed. The iron trade of this district is not. uite so good
11 it was a fortnight ago ; some tall-dozen of the leading
firms &redoing a steady trade, and haveorders in to keep theca
going for the present ; hut the second-clam firms experience
some difficulty in effecting sales, the turn of the market
being in favour of the buyer. The Hayford (unmet& hare
been taken by Mr. Samuel Griffiths, of Wolverhampton.
