TALLOW MARKET.
There has been little business done in this market, but their
being so small a stock here, as well as at the outports, prices
continue to advance, and are likely to be very high.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCT. 16.
The arrivals since our last report have been large from Ire-
land and coastwise, and of Foreign we have an extensive
quantity, fresh up. At this morning's market there was a
very lively demand for old Wheats. Owing to the unfavourable
state of the weather since Friday, having injured a great portion
of the Grain still unhoused, all descriptions of old realized an
advance of 3d. per 'Nibs., and Irish New was fully ld. to 2d.
per nibs. dearer. There was not much business transacted
in Oats or Oatmeal, holders of which, however, were exceed-
ingly firm. Flour moved off more freely at unaltered rates,
and for Barley there was a good inquiry.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Philadelphia Packet has arrived at Liverpool, by which
we have received Philadelphia Papers to the 21st September.
(From the above Papers.)
CROPS IN THE SGUTH.—The Baltimore American of yes-
terday says :—" From various sources we learn that both the
Sugar and Cotton crops look remarkably fine, and if not in-
jured by storm, promise to be most beautiful. Some new
crop Cotton sold in this city on Saturday,. at 13 cents ; the
quantity yet received is small."
THE STATES AND THE TREASURY.—Mr. John Quincy
Adams has addressed a long and highly interesting letter to
his constituents, of the Twelfth Congressional districts of
Massachuscetts. He mentions one extraordinary face—namely,
that the payment of the fourth instalment of the surplus was
postponed till the Ist January, 1839, so that, unless Congress,
in the first month of its Session, takes other order upon it,
more than six millions must be distributed by the General Go-
vernment, to the various states, on the Ist January next, while
there is not a shilling in the Treasury.
SALES OF STOCK AT PHILADELPHIA.—Nine shares of the
United States Bank, 1232.
The Balavier is expected in the course of the day with the
King of Holland's speech at the opening of the Session, but
it having blown hard during the night, she may be retarded till
late in the afternoon.
