scale at full rates. The market has a firm appearance.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the quantity of Ceylon
Coffee offered at auction was large, amounting to 656
casks and 2,206 bags. There was less desire on the part
of home dealers to make sales, end Native was all taken
in at 38s 6d to 393.f0r good ord, there not being buyers
at these rates. Plantation was operated in with caution,
and not above half sold; the rates taken were rather
under those of Friday for the better sorts, others went

TEA.—The market has still a firm aspect for all de-
scriptions, and none was offered at public sale since
this day week, whilst none is at present declared. A
good business has been concluded in black, and the rates
paid are fully equal to thbse current on Tuesday last.

under 9d per ib, and a further advance is expected to
take place. Of green many parcels have been disposed
of at fully former rates.

MOLASSES.—This afternoon at public sale 26 puns
Cuba Molasses were taken in at 193 per cwt. There is
still little business doing by private treaty.
COCOA.—Fine red West India is still wanted for home
trade purposes, and as the supply is scanty former rates
are well supported. For inferior and grey there are,
however, not many buyers, and a slight fall in the value
is apparent. At public sale 450 pkg 4 Trinidad were
only in part sold at from 39s to 465, and one lot of supe-
rior red 50s 6d. There has been little passing in
Foreign, and sellers aro ready to accept 16s Gd to 28s 6d
for low to fine.

paid, and the public sales of I 10' pkgs Went from 3117 s

sort 233 to 255, and home trade kind 40s
to 100 s per cwt. Of Pimento none has been
offered at public competition: by private treaty several
purchases have been inade'ut from 4d to 4id per lb, and on
the part of holders there is firmness; the stock also con-
tinues to get smaller. In Cinnamon thdre has been little
passing. Cassia Lignea is wanted. A public sale
of 33 boxes broken went at 90s pet cwt. The value
of sound is from 96s to 104 s, and of Cassia
Buds 77s to 80s. For Bencoolen Cloves the
demand continues good at from is 4.1 to 2s ld, but other
sorts are not much wanted, and 20 bags Bourbon at
auction were taken in at 70 per lb. Mace is wanted,
and 2s 2d to 2s 9d is the value according to quality.
For Nutmegs the market is firm, and there are several
purchasers, brown of first quality at 3s 6d to 4s 6d,

above half sold—Honduras silvers at from 3s 7d to 4s 4d
for ord to fine, black 3s 7d to 53 2d;
.Mexicizi 'silvers
3s 6d to 3s 93, and black at 3s 9d to 4s

tised; at present only small parcels of Spanish are sold
at former terms.

TALLOW.—Fine P.Y. Candle is offered at 38s Gd per

buyers are to be met with for delivery up to the close of
the year, and 38s is the value for last three months.

rather cheaper, and the supply exceeds dealers' wants. At
auction 576 casks of Sydney were only in part sold at
34s 3d to 38s 6d for ordinary to fine ; 1,200 pkgs South
American 34s Gd to 37s 6d ; 21 casks Gibraltar 40s 6d

The quantity of Rough Fat is still 2s 1 -.lcl per stone, and
there is, however, a much larger stock.
Oils.—There has been less business concluded in Palm
Oil, and former rates are not to be obtained, although
there is not a larger supply. At auction. 55 casks were
for the most part taken in at 28a to 303 6d. Cocoa
Nut is in greater supply, and prices are re-
ceding on account of a limited demand. Of
600 packages offered at auction a small part
only sold; Cochin at 34s to 35s 9d, low 30a 6d to 32s 6d,
Ceylon 33s to 345, and Madras 30s to 345. An increased
demand has been experienced for Rapeseed Oil, and
higher rates are paid. Sales of pale have been made at
39s 6d.to 409, and brown 38s to 395; the supply is less than
for some time. Linseed Oil has been in excellent demand
by home dealers, and some shipping orders have been
executed. Prices are higher, and rule at 25s 93 to 26s
per cwt on the spot, but there is a large supply, and
crushers are freely at work. For delivery a good
business has been concluded at • 25s 3d to 25s
6d, and there are not free sellers. The mar-
ket for Olive has a firm aspect, and many sales
have been made at 421 to 431 for Gallipoli, and at 401 to
411 103 per ton for other sorts; at these rates there were
not free sellers, and the stock is moderate. The rates asked
for Southern of low to fine quality are from 281 106 to
311; few buyers are to be met with. The market is quiet
for Cod, and 27/ 5s to 271 lOs is the value. Seal is still

held with firmness; pale 331 to 341, straw and tinged 311
to 321 103, yellow and brown 281 to 301, but there
are not many buyers. In Sperm operations are
upon an enlarged scale, and prices are firmer ;
there is also a less amount on offer. Sales of fine
quality have been made at 80/ to 81/, and of Ileadmatter
at 82/ to 84/per ton. The value of Lard Oil is still 35s
to 40s per cwt.

HULL, SEPT. 4.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—Since
the statement of imports was made up, there is a
further considerable arrival, chiefly of spring corn,
with which the market is now well supplied. During
the week, though more rain has fallen than of late,
harvest operations have received no interruption, and by
the end of the week a large quantity of grain will be
housed. The trade has been very much depressed all
the week, and where sales have been effected a further
reduction must have been submitted to; at such a time
prices are often irregular. Owing to the harvest being
so general, there was but a thin attendance of farmers,
and a consequent small show of old wheat, and our mil-
lers, notwithstanding a decline in Mark-lane, were free
buyers at last week's prices. In foreign wheat but little
doing, though we had more inquiry from district millers.
More samples of new wheat were exhibited, quality not
generally fine, or condition good, but reports are favour-
able as to the probable yield. Some fine Seal barley on
the market, but maltsters are hardly general buyers yet.
A continued good demand for grinding qualities. We
note no alteration in linseed, but the market is rather
weak, and cakes are easier to buy. No transactions in
rapeseed, but a good demand for cakes, which are scarce.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 4.—The arrivals from Ireland
since Tuesday, which consist principally of this year's
crop, are to a moderate extent, but those caastwise are
trifling. Fr m Europe little has been received, but from
the United Stares large supplies of Indian corn and flour
have come forward. The exports in the same time are
small. The weather has been far from favourable for
harvest operations, ranch rain having fallen at night with 1

a close and warm temperature during the du'. A great
deal of wheat in this neighbourhood is still unsecured.
The trade has been ch,incterized by great dullness, and
in the limited transucti,,ns in wheat and flour a decline
of fully 2d per 701 b. and 6d per 1961 b. has ben submitted
to. Indian corn was held firmly at previous rates, but
little business done. Oats and oa'tneal slow sale, at a
decline of Id per 451 b. and fid per 2401 b. Barley, with
a fair demand, receded hi per 601 b. No change in beaus
and peas. At this day's market there was a fair attend-
ance of town and country dealers. Wheat and flour met
a fair consumptive demand, at Friday's decline of 2d Per
701 b. on the former, and 6d per barrel on the latter. The
demand for Indian corn was very limited; in the few sales
6d per 4801 b. less was taken, 25s 6d being the top price
for tine yellow. Barley, beans, and peas without change
from our last quotations. Oats and oatmeal neglected,
at id per 451 b. and 6d per 2401 b, reduction. Sel'la
small parcels of new Irish wheat and oats were exhibited
for sale, the condition of both being very bad, were dis-
posed of at prices ranging from 5s 4d to 5s 10c1 per 701 b,
and 2s 4d to 2s 7d per 451 b. New oatmeal, 24s to 253
per 2401 b.

LEEDS, SEPT. 4.—The arrival of wheat at market to-
day is only moderate, but the continuance of favourable
harvest weather causes the corn trade to be very (I°li4
and old wheat is 2s per quarter, and new wheat fully 19
to 23 per quarter lower than last week, and the millerg
buy for itnmrdiate consumption. Beans are also is Per
quarter cheaper, and oats rather better to buy.

BARNET L

ARGE BEAST AND HORSE FAA'
FIRST DAY, SEPT. 4.—The great beast and horse
fair began this day. The number of cattle offered for
exceeding that of last year, drove after drove arriving
in and around the neighbourhood on Monday evening'so that it was with considerable difficulty pastors%
could be found for the night. At St. Alban's also that
were great numbers, as well as horses of all sorts, sil4,
breeds, and ages, in the different vicinities on Moods./'
where they were examined and culled by London 003:
mission dealers, Messrs. Anderson, Attwood, Cox, GPI'
Quarterrnan, Dye, Philips, Binford, Collins, and man,
others, they purchasing and sending away most of t
finest carriage, coach, and hunting animals! Pr,iicaye
varying from 501. up to 100 guineas each. This
good second-rate riding and driving found buyers -a.
heavy sums, while aged and inferior were little noticed.
t was computed that there was nearly 700 Wr"ofh
ponies offered for sale, besides a considerable quontitYfor
forest and others ; best four years old, to match, fit
driving in carriage by ladies and others (under duty)'
sold well at from 141. to 211. each ; ordinary
ditto at from 101 to 121. ; still half at least rernsine,
unsold ; good strong Suffolk, York, and other sgrAi
cultural, dray, and waggon animals were in fair derosn;
although prices ran lull 20 per cent. lower than ag
1848. Among the beasts there were some from ,
every breeding county in Fngland, Scotland, and gr
land; the number of Welsh and Scotch black cattle '"c
exceeding that of Devons, Herefordg, Yorks, and Sb1;0
Horns. Judges were of opinion that there were to ,
gross nearly 1,500 more than were offered at•the °er,
tecaber fair held here last year, at prices full 25 per and,
less still many remained without a bidding being ra„9o
for them, so lukewarm were the graziers who came 17,0
distant counties even to make purchases. The Lon d°
dairymen showed an apathy more than usual in th;il
dealings, some not buying more than half the quantify
of other years. Three and four years old large sweit.
beasts must h ive been very superior to make 101 P
head, some selling at from 81. to 91.; best Scots Crerria
fresh) went at from 7/. to 91.; Welsh, both north ads
south, at from 6/. to 71.; smaller ditto, and Irish bre
at from 41. to 5/.; finest Short Horn and Yorkshire en
near calving, from 16/. to 181. each; smaller AlderneYo:
131. to 151.; Heifers, 101. to 14/. Pigs in great ntlinbe
large stores most in demand, yet at very low prices, veh.,i
few smaller ones selling. Much stock of all kinds
sale to-morrow (Wednesday).
