TALLOW.—On Saturday it opened steady, with a good
demand on the spot ; but on the delivery of the letters to
the 4th (16th) it became flat, and closed at a decline of
about Gd. per cwt. The immediate cause of this decline
was that the comparative lists of tallow despatched from
Russia showed as follows :—Shipped at Cronstadt to this
date (1853), 60,895; despatched overland from all places to
this date (1854), 47,180. It is mach to be regretted that
we have not more perfect information as to the actual po-
sition of this tallow " despatched ;" but comparing the
shipments at Cronstadt last year with the actual shipment
at Archangel and Prussian ports this year, the following
would be the result as nearly as our information goes :
Shipped at Cronstadt in 1853 to 4th (16th) Sept., 60,895;
of which arrived about 25,000.
Since Saturday the market has been again quiet, and but
little business has been done speculatively, and our closing
prices are—Spot, new, 64s (1853) ; old, 63s 3d to 6d ; Oct.
and Dec. 63s 3d ; Dec. and Jan. 63s 9d ; Jan. and March,
