at 3s 7d, and black 3s 1 Id to 4s 2d.
TALLOW.--Russian on the spot has met with less
attention; and on the part of merchants more desire is
shown to sell on account of the increasing stock. For
fine P.Y. Candle the rates accepted are 45s to 453 311
per cwt, and only a moderate amount of business has
been concluded. For delivery up to the close of
the year sellers are willing to accept 44s 5d to
to 44s 9d, few buyers are to be met with, and little
business has been concluded for the early part of 1849.
Home made is less wanted, and 44s 6d to 45s is the
value net cash on the spot the stock is yet
large. Fur other sorts of Tallow the market is
quiet, and prices are receding. At auction 76 casks of
Italian were sold at 42s to 44i 6d; 20 casks of Sydney,
good aid fine 43s to 45s 3d, low to middling 41s 6d to

auction 400 cks are declared for Friday. Rough Fat is
quoted at 2s 7d per stone of 81bs.
OILS.—Toe market has assumed a more satisfactory
appearance for common Fish Oils; arrivals continue to
come in slowly, whereas deliveries are getting better,
and the quantity un offer is smaller. Cod met with a
good sale, and realised 231 103. Holders display
firmness, and same would not accept that rate to-day.
In all sorts of Seal a large amount of business
was concluch d, and at better prices, pale realised 26/ 15a

Linseed met with a brisker home demand and some
export orders have been completed, still prices do not
rise, and rule, at 21s 9d per cwt on the spot, as the sup-
ply is plentiful. Rapeseed sells with more readiness.
Palm is still in small supply, and is wanted.
Lard Oil is selling at 42s for fine English, and at
41s for American. Cocoa Nut is yet dull of sale, with
an increased supl ly, and prices are looking down. At
auction 228 hhds, 48 butts, and 23 pipes of Cochin were
nearly all taken in at 37s to 40s ; 35 pipes 27 puns, and
63 hhds Ceylon 37s to 39s per cwt. On Friday 153 cks

COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, Nov. 28.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states that there
has been much dulness in every branch of the trade
during the week, the general desire being to keep low in
stock. Arrivals continue and a good deal of stuff goes
to warehouse for want of buyers, who of late have
hardly been temptable at any reasonable reduction upon
previously obtained rates. We had for to-day's market
a fair show of wheat from our own growers, and an in-
creased supply of foreign, of which a good deal was of
inferior quality and condition; the trade ruled exces-,
sively dull even at a decline of 2s per quarter. The
Mark-lane report disappoints much. Barley for malting
purposes hangs heavy on hand, at a reduction of 2s per
quarter on the best samples, and more on second quali-
ties. Grinding goes off well at full rates. The tendency
is downward for other articles of Spring corn, without
being quotable at less money. A parcel of Indian corn
(white and yellow) is now on the market for sale from
ship. With a moderate arrival of linseed the market is
well supported, but the advance asked by holders is not
obtainable. Cakes are. firm at Our currency; some fine
American are now offering from ship at moderate price.
Nothing doing in rapeseed, and the market flat for cakes.
Bones fully support late prices.

LEEDS, Nov. 28.—The arrival of wheat here to-ds9
is large, but only moderate of other articles. There is
very little business doing, though a decline of 2s pe.r
quarter would be accepted for wheat. Barley is in ir
tnited request, at rather under last week's rates. Uats
and beans are rather cheaper.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—There is no change in the
duties on foreign cern or flour. The arrivals from Ire'
land and coastwise in the past week were very mode'
rate, except of oats and oatmeal, of which fair quantities
were received. Frem Canada we have at length good
supplies of wheat, peas, and flour; and from foreign
ports they are extremely large of most articles. The
principal part of the foreign wheat and flour is being
placed in bond. The exports in the same time amount
to 355 quarters of wheat, 9,973 quarters of Indian core,
443 barrels of corn meal, and 355 sacks and 2,761 bar'
rels of flour. The weather continues extremely mild for
the season, but attended with too much moisture for
heavy and undrained lands. We are still unable to re'
port any improvement in the trade, the demand being '
restricted to what is required for actual consumption'and the reduced currency of Tuesday has been
accepted for wheat. Oats and oatmeal were id per bushed
and 6d per load lower. Barley and peas were cheaper
and without inducing transactions. Beans were steady.
Flour moved only in retail, and 29s ber barrel, duty paid.'

languid inquiry, at 17s 9d per barrel. At this daYt
Market there was a good attendance of both town 1111,,
country dealers, but the dull accounts from Mark-laws
and the magnitude of the supplies caused them to set
with great caution, and a very moderate business re;

bushel on prices of this day week. Oats, with little de;
mand, were Id per 4511) lower than on Friday; and OA
