MARKETS.

TALLOW.
(From the Circular of Nelms. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.,
dated Friday evening.)
During the past week the tallow market has exhibited no
alteration in its position of sufficient importance to atleot
prices materially. The amount of business transacted has
been unusually small even for this time of year, when the
demand is generally least active. The warmth of the
weather has contributed materially to check business for im-
mediate consumption, but, in addition to this, there is
almost an entire absence of the usual transactions with the
trade fur future delivery : there being scarcely any disposi-
tion to effect purchases of a Gond fide character id this
nature, very few of the consumers having sufficient faith in
the duration of the wholly artificial support by which prices
have so long been maintained above their natural lave). The
operations of a purely speculative description have also been
very limited, and sellers exhibit much caution, even with
every appearance in their favour, the more important sales
having been of the "optional" character, enabling the "bear"
to estimate at once the extent of his liability' the event of
(to him) an adverse issue of the contract. Should the pre-
sent general inactivity in the speculative market continue,
the speedy demolition of the existing monopoly must be the
result, as it is only by the excitement of au extensive amount
of speculation that its unnatural existence can be even for a
time supported. We doubt that this support, to the extent
required, will be forthcoming for the ensuing season.
The quotations to-day for new Y.C. tallow are for the
mouth 535., and for delivery October to December 525. per
cwt.., but we hear of no business being done to any amount.
The arrivals for the week ending the 90th instant were
831 casks ; deliveries, 915 casks ; stook, 65,269 casks, show-
tag a decrease of 84 casks.
Town tallow has again been in good supply, sad readily
obtainable at the full discount. It has sot,however, been
forced on the market, although in some instances an exten-
sion of the usual allowances has teen granted. This evening
the letter price is 11:N., or 495. 6d. per cwt. net auk. Fat,
2a. 6d. per stone of
Old Y.C. tallow has not met with much demand. 53 6d.
per cwt. is the general quotation.
Odessa-We are almost without supplies, but there is a
fair quantity of Taganrog tallow on the market, to be had at
last week's quotations.
East India.-We hear of no transactions to any extent.
Really fine quality is in some request, but it is very scares.
465. to 535. per cwt. may be quoted as current rates.
The particulars of to-clay's public sales are es follows :-
South American-106 casks and 110 boxes were offered,
of which only 18 casks and 12 boxes were sold, 525. N.
being paid for good sound pale quality in boxes, and 51s. 9ii.
per cwt. for good colored pure tallow in hogsheads. Fee
the average description in pipes, 152 a. to 52e. Gd. would be
accepted.
Austrelian-134 casks were submitted and 104 casks
were sold, one lot of fair mutton bringing 52a., mid good
beef 48a. 61., one lot 48s. to. 10 casks fair mixed tallow
rather brown, brought 45e. Gd. and 45e. 9d. per cwt. There
is a better supply of this tallow lately, and to effect males
reduced prices have to be taken.
North American-94 casks were offered, and were all sold ;
very good quality at 51e. 6d., and *wood rate description at
495. 6d. to sth. 3d. per cwt.
Cocoa Nut OiL -41 casks of Sydney, and 1 cask of Cochin
only, were offered to-day. The Sydney oil was of middling
sod inferior descriptions. Prices ranged from 35e. 9d. to
395. 9d. The cask of Cochin of fair quality brought 42.• &L
per cwt. The market has been very dull lately, good Cochin
having declined to 445. to 44e. Gd., and Ceylon selling at
435. to 43e. Gd. per cwt.
Palm Oil. -259 euks were brought forward, all of middling
and inferior quality ; there was little bidding, and the whole
was bought in, the beat at 41s. 6d par cwt. During the
week 455. hasheen obtained for fine Ligos, and this is still
the quotation, but the demand is not great.
Palm Nut Oil is quoted at former rates, but the supply is
necrly exhausted, and we hear of no bwiineas worth re-
porting.
South American Horse Grease continues steady, at 38e.
per cwt., at which a fair amount of business has been done
during the week.

TALLOW.-BATURDAT APTITINOON. —The market is
without cheap, and prices closed the same u yesterday.
Deliveries to lad evening, 6t5 maks ; arrivals, 734 casks.

COTTON.—Lremooc, Jura 22.—We have had • fair
amount of business today without change in prices.
The sales are 8,000 bales—including 6,760 American, at tid.
to 81d. ;1,000 Surat, at 4sd. to 64ci. 2OO Egyptian, at
Bd. to 94d. ; and 40 Manahan, Bj4.—of winch 1,000
are for speculation and export. To-day's import is 6,794
bales.

COTTON GOODS.—ltarrEeencs, ll= 22. —ln the cloth
market this week the only noticeable feature has been an in-
crease of offers to purchase 'hidings and fabrics suited for
the East, at very low rates, which is some cases hay, been
accepted by producers. As a general rule quotations have
beau nominally maintained, while the bias has been per-
ceptibly towards decline. All descriptions of piece gocda
hey* beau in very limited request, except at the lowest
terms proposed by purchasers, and the aggregate of business
has been small, because manufacturers are unable to nuke
the required abatements. The inquiry for T clothe and long
cloths is no better, and sellers seem a little lees firm. The
market for yarns shows also a more confirmed quietude, and
greater irregularity of prices than was the case last week.
Nothing is doing for the home trade except to supply im-
mcdiAte wants. The buyers for the continent are operating
more sparingly than before. Nothing can be done for India
or China, unless at prices which are generally too low for
acceptance.

WOOLLEN CLOTH. —Lame, JCYIt 22.—Tbe market
presented no feature of importance this morning. It wen
moderately attended, and an average business was transacted,
principally in ordinary cloths ; but the manufacturers com-
plain that they cannot obtain remunerative prices.

HARDWARK—BrurutoffAN, Jolts 22.—The trade of
this town is still without the stest animation ; in some
half-dozen branches the man era are working full
tine • but in the great majority of trades dulness is the
p.evailing feature, as it has Leen all through this quarter, in
which it has been estimated that the amount of business
does bas been 15 per cent below the average. In some in-
stances manufactaren are making goods for stock, in the
hope that • good harvest may lead to • brisk trade in the
autumn ; at this moment, however, the country orders in
hand are small ; to some of the foreign markets there is
rather more doing. A great number of the artisans are
only partially implored, especially such of them as are en-
gaged in the jewellery and other fancy trades. In the ad-
joining distnct of South Staffordshire and East Worcester-
shire trade is worse than it is in this town ; in not one of the
most important breeches is there an average amount of
business doing. The iron trade continues very much de-
pressed ; the preliminary meeting of the ironmaaters will
be held at the Stewponey on Thursday next ; the question
j am to prices for next quarter will thou be chummed ; some
' members of the trade are in favour of a reduction of 10s. per
ton; if that course is adopted, it must be followed by •
general reduction of the wages sails.

other grain. Best qualities of wheat found buyers at •
decline of Is. ; other descriptions wits difficult to quit at •
further decline. Barley, beaus, and peas unaltered.
Weather tine for the growing crops ; they are healthy
and progressing fast, bat it must not be forgotten that
the plant is indifferent and the breadth short.

GUILDTOBD, JUNE 24—There was only • very small
addition made to our stock of wheat to.day. A few sam-
ples of fine quality made full prices, but other sorte could
not be moved, except at • further decline of Is. to 2s. ;
there was, however, a larger trade done on these terms.

NIWCARTLZ-131,011-TTWE, JUNE 22.—At our market this
morningwehad • moderate show of wheat from the growers,
the best descriptions of which were selected at a decline of
la. per qr., whereas inferior qualities may be written fully
2s. lower than on this day siennight. in coasting samples
memely • transaction occurred, holders being unwilling to
accept the terms °feted by our millere. Foreign had also •
slow sale at the reduction quoted on Tuesday, whilst in
some mess, where vessels were coming on demurrage, end
condition was not perfect, it was necessary to accept • fur-
ther abatement of lc per qr. There was some talk of re-
ducing flour 2a. per sack, and our millers in making their
purchases bad • view to such • contingency occurring.
Upon Norfolk and foreign varieties we reduce our quota-
tions fully la. per sack, with a moderate inquiry. Grinding
barley unchanged. Malt met little attention. In beans or
cue have little variation to note. Fine sweet heavy
oats were in fair request, 28a. having been realised

for fair coloured, weighing naturally 4111ai. per bushel. In
Danish or 'Swedish varietio, transmii.me were limited, but
in the business done late rates were about sustained. The

great benefit to the crops now well spoken of. Wheats are
coming into ear.

almost nominal. Of oats the show was limited, and there
was not much inquiry at prices rather lower than last
week ; old, 325. to 365. ; new, 265. to 345. ; foreign, 26e. to

RILADING, Jules 22.—The attendance at our market this
morning was sanely an average one. The supply of wheat
was good, though business was extremely heavy, and the
market must be quoted Is. to 2a. lower than last week. In
other articles the trade was quite of a nominal character.
ROCHENTER, Jules 22.—There was a considerable quantity
of wheat on offer here, and the best lota were quoted at
about the rates of last week, but for inferior kinds a reduc-
tion of L. to 2s. per quarter bad to be submitted to.
Even at these terms the market was exceedingly fist, and
business was very dull, millers and mealmen only purchasing
in small quantities. The barley trade was very depressed,
and sales could only be done by holders giving way le. per
quarter for both malting nod grinding lota. Oats were
somewhat scarcer, but that desenption of grain could be
purchased on somewhat easier terms.

well, and have suffered very little from the fly. At
country markets this week we had, as of late, very lit
grain of any kind offering, and, buyers being unwilling
operate even at reduced prices, very little changed haat

small supplies of wheat and oats, and only a trifle of barley.
