SATURDAY'S MARKETS

LIVERPOOL COTTON.—With a fair demand, and rather
less free offerings, the cotton market has become rather
firmer. The sales—including 30 Pernambuco, 8d; 70
Bahia, 7d ; 150 Egyptian, 8d to 81d ' • 400 Surat, 5i-d to
6441—are reported 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 are on
speculation and for export.
LONDON PRODUCE.—Saturday is unusually a quiet day
with the produce markets, attention being more engaged
with the settlement of prompts than the opening of. fresh
engagements; but, notwithstandinF, this, a more cheerful
feeling is apparent, and a better inquiry is experienced
for most articles. Cotton, in particular, is more in re-
quest, and holders have been encouraged to ask higher
prices, which buyers have not, however, as yet been dis-
posed to pay.

Lortrnoisr TALLow.—The market is quiet. Town
tallow is quoted 51s 9d, nett cash; Petersburgh ,Y.C. on
the spot, 52s 6d; February and March, 52s 6d; April
only, 52s 6d; April to June, 52s 3d ; October to De-
cember. 52s 3d. Market averages : Town tallow, 54s 3d;
fat by ditto, 2s 10d , yellow Russian, 54s ; melted stuff,
40s ; rough ditto, 24s ; tallow greaves, 16s ; good dregs,
is.

LONDON MINING.—In the mining market to-day
considerable activity prevails, especially as regards shares
in Great Wheal Alfred, South Caradon, Wheal Edward,
East Wheal Russell, Wheal Trelawney, and West
Caradon. Priees in all instances are firm. There is still
no movement of importance in foreign and colonial
mining securities. Subjoined is our usual weekly report
of the metal market : "No real progress appearing to be
made in the settlement of the
.Italian question, business
continues to rule quiet. Copper : This metal participates
in the general heaviness, but its position is regarded
favourably by many, and high . relative prices are obtain,
able for fine foreign. Iron is firm in price, but the
demand is limited. Scotch pig tends downwards.
Foreign tin finds a steady market, but Eng-
lish is -not wiling largely. Spelter continues
to - droop. Lead is without change. Tin plates
are in better demand, and prices have improved:
A requisition is in the course of signature to the direc-
tors of the Australian . Mining . Company, from several
shareholders, urging them to call a public meeting, for
the purpose of reconsidering the resolution passed in July
last, for the abandonment of mining operations at Charl-
ton. It is stated that ,if the shareholders still decline to
go on, a new company will he formed, for the purpose of
purchasing or leasing the. Charlton Mine. At a meeting
of adventurers in Crowndale Mine, held yesterday, the
_accounts showed a cash balance of £lO5 11s. and there
are arrears of call amounting to £lO2 ss. At a. meeting
of adventurers in Bryntail Mines, held on Thursday, the
accounts presented show a balance in hail(' of £238 19s. 3d.,
and an estimated balance of assets over liabilities of
£9.7.8.145. -1141 A resolution was passed dividing -the
mine into 2,090 shares, instead of £l,OOO, is at present.
A very.satisfactory ,report was read from the agent. At
a two-monthly meeting of adventurers in Alfred Consols,
held on the 21st inst., ,the accounts showed a balance of
£1,609 11s. lOd. in favour of the mine. A dividend_of
2i, GI per share was declared, mid the balance ,of
£069; 11s. lOd. was carried to the credit of the next
account.
