TALLOW.

(From the Cirader of Mown. ColverweU, Brooks, and Co.,
dated Friday Evening.)
The tendency in the tallow market to lower prices, which
we noticed in our last report (of the 19th Met.), bas con-
tinued during the past week with scarcely any interruption
the demand, however, hits been very fair for the time of
year, and this having been freely met by holden of tallow
in general (not excepting the Russians) has led to consider-
able transactions being effected, both for ready and future
delivery. Inquiries also from the Continent at the reduced
rates now current have also resulted in business to a
considerable amount ; large parcels of old Y.O having been
secured for export. The greater portion, however, of the
tallow sold has been to the trade for future
delivery, very large purchases in the aggregate having been
effected for the autumn and winter months, and this mostly
for actual consumption, buyers being impressed with the
idea that should any important quantity of the new Y.C.
tallow be again taken for Russian account present prices
must be considered very moderate. A greater amount of
business would have been transacted during the week had it
not been for some anxiety as to the real intentions of the
owners of the large parcel of old tallow noticed below, which
had been for some days pest advertised for auction this day,
many orders being withheld in consequence, as very natural
misgivings were awakened as to the result on prices of such
t quantity being submitted co open competition.
To-clay the market has been more settled, and business
has been done at 475. for new Y.C. in most positions. The
Ws, at moderate prices, of the portion of 1859 and 1860
Y.C. es given below did not much affect the general state of
the market for new tallow, and there is still a fair amount
of business doing forward.
The arrivals for the week ending the 25th inst. were 674
casks ; deliveries, 1,516 casks ; stock this day 55,127 casks,
being a decrease of 842 masks.
Town tallow having been relatively dear has not been
in much request, and sales of anyimportence could only be
effected at an inzreased discount. To-day the " Letter"
price in 495., or 445. 6d. per cwt. net cash. Fat, 2s. 6d.
per stone of 81ba.
The results of the public males of this day are given
below.

Old Y.C.-2,149 casks of 18.59 and 1860 knack were
brought forward, and about 700 casks found buyers, prices
ranging from 455. to 455. 9d. per cwt., much of the tallow
beinoL. af very good quality.
has not been in much demand, the free supply of
old Y.C. having led to this result ; the quantity however of
the former in the market is small. 181 casks were offered
to-day, of which 152 casks were sold; fair mutton, at
465. 3d. ; mixed, good to Sue, 445. to 455. 9d. ; second
quality, 43a. to 435. 6d., being rather bleached ; good to
am beef brought 445. to 44.. 6d. per cwt.
South Ameriatn.-Some few parcels have been disposed
of, fine pipes bringing about 484. ; but the general inquiry
has been very moderate. To-day 227 oaks and 100 boxes
were submitted ; 148 casks and 12 boxes being sold. The
highest price obtained was for floe Y.C. kind, in boxes,
which brought 48s. 6d. Fine pipes, 475. ; one lot of fair
quality, at 465. 6d. Mixed greasy descriptions were parted
with at 40a. 9d. to 425. 6d. per cwt.
Australian.-Supplies are rather good, and are likely to
meet the demand for some months, several large parcels
being on the water. We have beard of no sales to any
amount since our last report. 175 casks were submitted
to-day, of which 105 casks were sold. One cask of fine
sheep was taken in at 48e. Fair to floe beef brought
435. 3d. to 445. ; rather dull coloured, 425. Gd. Mixed
qualities were not much competed for ; 15 casks greenish
colour medium body brought 425., 3 casks pale brown of
fair body 42a. 3d. ; better kinds were bought in at 435. to
45e. 6d. per cwt.
FAA India bas not been much inquired for, nor is there
much offering. Prices are nominal.
North American.-11 reeks were offered, of good colour,
but rather weak body. They were sold at 455. lid. per cwt.
Cocoa Nut OiL -The recent excitement in this article,
which led to the sudden advance in price noticed by us
last week. has materially subsided ; but a good business
has been done at our former quotations. 207 casks of
Sydney only were offered today, of which 149 oaks were
sold ; good to rather fine quality at 41s. to 435. ; lower aorta
rather discoloured and greasy, 375. 6d. to 4th. 6d. per cwt.
Fine Cochin is quoted 445. Gd. to 4.55. ; and Ceylon 43e. 6d.
to 445. per cwt.
Palm Oil has been affected by the free supply, and also by
the decline in tallow, our quotations of last week not baring
been supp_orted.. Fine Lagos las been parted with rather
freely at CM., and 425. lid. has been accepted for very gOOd
quality, inferior sorts ranging from 355. to 41s. To.clay 731
casks were brought forward, and 258 sold. Fine Lagos
(small casks) brought 41a. 6d. to 425. 3d., the highest price
being 43a. 94.1., heavy tame ; 40s. to 40a. 3d. was paid for fair
Lisbon. Low qualities were in little demand, 3 casks only
being sold, middling colour at 41s. ; very dark aorta were not
competed for.
Palm Nut 00.-34 casks were offered, and 6 casks only
were sold, at 355. and 369. per cwt., fair to good quality.
Lower sorts were neglected.
South American Hone Grease continues steady, a few '
tasks brought 38a. per cwt. today, 36 casks and 200 came
being offered.

TALLOW.—SATURDAY AITZ/11100N.—The market is
steady at the subjoined priors':—Spot, 46a. 6d. ; September,
47a. ; October to December, 475. ; January to March,
475. 6d. ; separate months. 475. to 475. 3d. Deliveries to
last evening, 1,192 casks ; arrivals, 1,102 casks.

00ITON.—LrnarooL, JULY 27. —Our market is steady
with a good banner doing. The sales are 12,000 bales, in-
cluding 9,550 American, bid. to 9fd. ; 1,500 &trat, foid. to
7 7-18 d. ; 800 Egyptian, Aid. to 1241 ; 50 Pernam, Sid.
100 Bab* Sid. ; of which 3,000 are for speculation and
export. To-day's import is 28,548 balsa.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCHESUR, JULY 27.—The comae
of the market has been very much the same this week as it
was last, but the activity of trade perhaps reached its limit
on Tuesday, the amount of business having since then
become decidedly smaller, through the rise of quotations
which has gone on till now, by reason of the admix* in
cotton. In the market for piece goods, during the last few
days, • pretty, general advance of prices has taken place,
compared with the mantas current on Tuesday. Only •
limited sale has been effected in domestics, T cloths, long-
cloths, printing clothe, jaccunets, madapollams, and shirt-
legs; but manufacturers are extremely firm, and
the advance in Eastern shirtiegs since Tuesday is from
lid. to 3d. per piece. The inquiry for the latter goods
continues, but buyers are not disposed to pay the present
high rates. The quotations of yarns are at least equally
stiff, at id. to id. per lb. higher than Tuesday's figures. The
demand fur Germany has continued pretty active, but ap-
bpears to be slackening, while the home trade houses have
begun to operate more freely, at the higher rake. A very
large male might take place at previous prices, and, as it is,
the amount of basilicas has been considerable. For the
Eastern markets not much can he done. Mule yarns for
India are however sold at id. per lb. dearer than on Tues-
day. Twist and pin cops for the home trade have been
active, and some kinds are id. higher since Tuesday. Water
twist, 16's to 24's, has been Amt.

HARDWARE.—Thrudrionan, JULY 27.—The trade of
this town is still very much depressed, the partial reaction
to which we refereed last seek not having been maintained.
From all parts of the country the orders are small, and in
those departments of our trades which should be getting
brisk there is very little doing. In the foreign trade there
is a moderate amount of activity, a circumstance which is
in some measure attributable to the number of new markets
which are constantly opening and the increasing demand
for our manufactures on that account. The East India
Mule is looking up, and orders are in an account of
China. The export trade has in other respects undergonelittle
change ; with some of the American markets there is an
average amount of business doing ; orders are also in hand
for the West Indies. The slackness of tirade for so many
months has of course increased competition, and many of the
smaller manufacturers have been obliged to reduce their
prices for numerous articles, chiefly in the fancy line, for
which the demand on account of the home trade has been
dull for many months. For autumn goods there is very
little inquiry ; in the brass foundry and lamp trades there
is only a very moderate business doing ; and the button
trade is in almost every department depressed ; in the mili-
tary branch there are a few orders in hand ,• but on the
whole business is wretchedly dull, and not likely to revive
at present. In the adjoining district of South Staffordshire
and East Worimstershire matters are in much the same con-
dition and the number of persons out of employment or
partially employed increases,

CORN.—CA mum; JOLT 27.—We had a good supply
of wheat, which sold at last week's prime. Wheat, red
Me to 50a ; white, 565. to 60a ; beans, 40.. to 42e ; oats,
225. to 28..

Couieiaym, JULY 27.-Weather stormy and dull. Corn
is ripening slowly. No complaints of any importance are
made respecting the crop. A large supply of wheat on sale,
which met • ready sale at late rates. Almo.t a nominal
show of barley, beams, and peas ; the mine remark will of
course apply to the sale.
GUILDFORD, JULY 27.-There was to-day a very fair
'apply of wheat. Millers were not free buyers, but the
bulk of the supply changed hands at prices much the same
as last week, but In some instances baldly as good. Wheat,
30s. to 665. Barley, 28s. to 31s. Oats, 245. to 29e.
Beans, 40s. to 44e.
HRTFORD, JOLT 27.-The weather being so variable
causes trade to be dell. no one caring to buy wheltt•
In
the absence of demand forced sales were Is. per load less
money, but otherwise and for good qualities trade was
steady. Beene and oats both rather lower, say 6d. to la.
per qr. Barley as before. Wheat, red, per load, 38e.
flee white, 40s. Barley, grinding, 265, to 35e. Oats, 20s.
to 28a. per quarter. Beans, 30s. per load.
Lameness, JOLT 27.-At our corn market to-day there
was • limited say of wheat on offer from the growers,
the bulk of which was in moderate condition. The trade
ruled firm, at an advance of Is. to 2a. per qr. Old white
realised 655. to 7135. ; new, 525. to 635. ; old red, 555. to 605.;
sew, 42a. to 555. per 36 stone. The show of barley was ex-
ceedingly limited, and in malting there was very little does,
at sweltered rates. For grinding late mime were made,
and samples realised 3tk. to 325. per .10 stone. Oats
came to head sparingly, and met a tolerable sale, at the
fsU rates of the week previous, transactions taking place at
30e. to 345. for old, and 245. to 28s. per 24 does. Beans
waremares, sad well supported their value, and samples

made 365. to 465. per 3$ stone. Fine flour realised 435. to
46e. ; seconds, 38s. ; thirds, 365. per 20 stone.
NPWCASTLE-CPON•I'TNC, JULY 27.—At our market this
morning we had a moder.ae show of wheat from the
powers, but from the coast the arrivals are to a good
extent for the season ; the foreign receipts on the other
hand, showing an important falling-oft. Fresh-thrashed
samples sold quietly at the extreme rates of this day
anoight, whilst in south country qualities and foreign a
fair retail business transpired at about previous prices; any
attempt at advance either on coasting sorts or foreign
proved futile, although the state of the weather fully war.
ranted factors in demanding more money. For fair rune of
Suffolk red 575. was pawl, whereas some quantity of mixed
Il•ntsic was placed cx ship at 57e. per 5041t5. Flour sold
slowly, but in its value we quote little variation. Barley
scarcely asked for. Malt, nukes fine, neglected. In beans
or peas little done. For oats we experienced more inquiry,
especially well prepared Danish, for which our extreme
currency was realised. The arrivals this week are:—
Wheat, coastwise, 3,018 qrs. ; foreign, 3,223. Malt, coast.
wise, 25. Oats, coastwise, 2,645 ; foreign, 2,456. Beans,
foreign, 60. Flour, coastwise, 407 sacks. Indian cora
flour, 320 Backe.

NORWICH, JULT 27.—There was again rather an increased
supply of wheat at ta-day'e market, and the demand being
better, a good deal of business was transacted at the rates of
this day se'onight. There was little doing in oats, beans, or
pees ; flour a shade dearer. White wheat wee quoted 56e,
to 60a. • red ditto, 525. to 555. ; damp and inferior ditto,
465. to 48s. per qr. ; flour, 3811. 6d. per sack from the miller.
Norrnmium, JOLT 27. —The show of wheat was by no
means abundant, the quality and condition of the siunples
being variable. Trade firm, at the prices of the preceding
week. Old white descriptions sold at 675. to 775. ; old red,
625. to 695. ; new red, 38s. to 61s. ; new white, 475. to 61s.
per 36 stone. There was a limited show of hurley, for which
the inquiry was heavy, and transactions were for the most
pert effected at late currencies ; grinding, 30s. to Us. per 30
stone ; malting nominal. of oats there were not many
offering, and the tone of the demand proved steady at fully
last week's rates ; old, 325. to 365. ; new,26s. to 31s. ; foreign,
28r. to 325. per 24 stone. Beans were a limited show, and
met a moderate demand at unaltered rake ; old sold at 56..
to6oa. ; new, 40a. to 50s. per 38 stone. Super flour, 46i. to
525. ; fine, ; 'kis. to 41s. per sack.

OIYORD, JULY 27.—There was a very good attendance at
market this day, and although samples of good wheat, both
white and red, and representing large bulks, were nume-
rous, holders refused to sell unless at a higher figure than
last week, this was resisted by the dealers generally • but
those who were compelled to purchase [rum necessity gad to
submit to an increase of ls. per quarter. All other kinds of
corn was firm at last week's rates. Flour ruled from 40s. to
42L per sack. Harvest has commenced in this neighbour.
hood, mid should the weather hold fine for a fortnight, the
bulk, if hands can be found, will be safely housed. The
yield of all kinds of grain is enormous. We are sorry to
find that the disease has made its re-appearance amongst
the potatoes, and should the wet weather continue it will
have a most disastrous effect on the crop.
PETERBOROUGH, Ju LT 27.—At our market to-day we had
• very large supply of wheat, which met a slow sale at
barely the prices of this day week. Barley none showing.
Oats in small supply, and rather dearer. Beans made la. to
2s. per qr. more money. Prices : Best red wheat, 55a. to
565. per qr. of 5011bs. ; common do., 38e. to 40s. per
480Ilm; oats, ls. ld. to la. 4d. per stone; beans, 445. to 465.
par qr. of 5321 b.
READING, JULY 27.—We had a moderate supply of
wheat at our market this looming. Business was very quiet,
sod there wee but little if any alteration in the trade. The
hest qualities of wheat realised last week's prices, whilst in-
ferior samples were scarcely looked at. In other articles the
trade was really of • nominal character.

Rocfinertn, JULY 27. Although there was a pretty
good attendance of the town and country trade at
this corn-exchange the supply of wheat was not large. Best
discriptions were taken otf steadily at hat week's jsmea, and
io some instances • slight advance was demanded, without,
however, leading to any extensive operations. Foreign was
in fair supply, but transactions in that description were
limited at previous quotations, although the primest lots
attracted rather more attention. Barley was in moderate
supply, and sells slowly at about former quotations, with a
heavy trade. Oat., especially those of the best kind,; keep
up their price, and goal lota of old are still sold at a high
figure. Yeas held fora slight advance. Beans are rather
more inquired after, and are ruing Werke. Best runs at flour
are very firm, and • quiet trade in that article was done.
WIISSECH, JULY 27.—We had • very heavy fall of rain
on Thursday and through the night,with continued showers
daring the week; in consequence the crops are very much
laid, and injury to some extent must be the result. The
supply at wheat at market to-day is moderate. All the
fresh thrashed millers' quality met a good demand at ls. to
Be. per qr. more money with a better sale for the inferior
kindle. Spring corn of ill kinds in small supply, with prior
in favour of sellers.

WORCIIITII, JOLT 21.—At this day's market there wu a
very short supply of wheat from the farmers, which wu
firmly held for quite as much money, but foreign wu
rather lower. Barley and beau unaltered. Otte only
taken in retail. Peas rather dearer.

Yoga, JULY 27.—There was • moderate attendance of
farmers and factors at our corn market today, and wheat
was about an average show. Fanners asked high prime,
and very little business was done at full quotations white
qualities made 60a. to 645. ; red, Ws. to 58s. per 36 stone.
Scarcely anything was done in malting barley, and rates
were nominally the same am last week ; grinding sorts
were in small supply, and moved off at former terms, which
ranged from 30s. to 345. per 30 stone. There was a limited
supply of eats, for which the demand was steady, at the
prices of the week previous, 26e. to 28e. per 24 stone. Of
beans the supply was short, and the inquiry proved inac-
tive, at no material change in prices, making 40s. to 48s.
per 38 stone. Malt sold at 70s. to 725. ; rye, 365. per qr.
Flour, 41s. to 455. per sack of 20 stone.

linticamv, JULY 27.—The weather continues more and
MOM unsettled, and • great deal of rain has fallen this week,
so that some of the barley is knocked down. la the late
districts the hay will suffer from so much wet. Potatoes
have improved, and we hear nothing of disease as yet.
Turnips are here sad there suffering from finger sail toe
disease, but to no great extent. At oar country markets,
this week, we had fair supplies, which sold readily at
prime in favour of sellers. We scarcely see • sample of
either barley or cabs. Here, to-day, we had a large *apply
of wheat, good of oats, and small of barley. Sales reedy
at the prices of last week. Barley ls. per qr. dearer.
Wheat, 345. to fide. par qr. ; barley, 30s. to 36. ; oats, 255.
to 325.

WATERFORD. JULY 27.—We have had wet and stormy
weather the greater part of the week, but today it is fine.
The accounts we receive of the grain crops are more favour-
able than could be expected, and4we do not hear that the
potato disease spreads to any great extent. Our arrivals
of foreign grain are considerable, but of our own growth
namely anything has appeared at market. For prime
wheats we have • good inquiry, but the firmness of holders
checks business. Barley quiet, without change in value.
Oats—The few parcels on sale find buyers at previous rates.
The demand for Indian COM was very extensive in the early
part of the week, and prices advanced about 3d. per
barrel. Today with lees inquiry, holden are willing to
take 3d. per barrel below our lost quotations for prime
samples. Inferior sorts not cheaper. Flour fins, and
rather more saleable. Imports this week :—Wheat, 4.815
qn. ; Indian corn, 13,200 ; flour, 148 s4acks. Exports this
week:—Oats, 2,123 barrels; fluur, 677 sacks.
