dence a-movement for the better having taken placein
most departments of trade.

only in a few instances easier purchases could be made.
TALLOW MARKET.

and prices inclined to be lower. 475. 9d. was accepted

The remainder of the India mail has.arrived, but the
contents have been anticipated. Private letters from
the West Indies give very satisfactory information as to
the condition and improving prospects of some of the
colonies. The crop of sugar had turned out quite as
good and as large as had been anticipated, and the pro-
ceeds of this year's produce would, it was expected. go far
towards removing the depression caused by the late par-
tial failures. The great drawback was, however, the
want of labour, but the improved condition of the neero
popuhition, coupled with a supply of of emigrants, would,
it was believed, in- the course of a short period, remedy
this. Many had by their exertions rendered themselves
independent, and become proprietors of small plots of
ground, upon which they were liiiug, and it was thought
that the prospect of still further advancing thenis,lves
would be a sufficient incentive to increased ex' rtions on
the estates. Altogether the letters by this mail are the
most cheering which have been received for a long period.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 10.—We have
very little business doing in any kind of Shares :—Man-
cheAer and Birmingham, 27 to 27+ ; Manchester and
