Hides. — The improvement anticipated m oar last circular has nut taken place, and and, although a fair deraaud hag existed for prime lots at isolations, the tone of the market generally has been weak and at present the prospects are not encouragin?. Our. sales have been eonfi^a to local produce, and a large Greeu Hi ie* from tho Ic.-^l batohe. B ' has. beea paased tL'; oU; ; u# s Ue j Hides of good quality —i-amely , l^rge, iuc -fonm .nffaL c eaii and vve'l sailed — have found a steady i market, but ruling pric-js have not met with the Bat : action of venoo. s.

Tallow.— Our salea to date have cam prised 858 casks, the bulk of which was dispot?d of by private contract for export. We fouud the iocp-l demand good, acid all packages uosui^ib'e for shipment were readily c 1 eared out to the favorite brands. Our litest advices from llje Lonf on mxrket are of an encouraging nature, which has t-.nded to hardea prices here slightly. We note i bat supplies are getting short, hence anticipate a oantinuance of current ra fl s, viz. :— Mutton, from £27 18s to £29 10« per ton ; J|eef £26 10s -to £27 10s do.; Mixed, £32 to £28 do ; £17 to £23 do. shipping parcels - Mutton to £30 per ton (f.0.b,) j Beef to £39 do (f.0.b.)
