The former have been more saleable than of late , and at fully last week ' s currency a fair clearance has been effected , seed samples meeting rather an active demand .

prices , prime and choice " ware , " s . s . sorts are dull of sale , and prices extremely irregular . The arrivals by the Eastern Counties Railway were 69 91 quarters , and the deliveries 7533 quarters . Beans are Gd . to Is . per quarter cheaper for old , but quite the best qualities Mazagans are worth 37 s . per quarter .

The arrivals of oats are again large , principally from Russia , and inferior in qualities , for which the demand has been exceedingly du ll , and prices generally easier . The limited proportion of choice qualities brought late rates . Irish oatti are also in larger supply , but steady in value whore the quality is good . LONDON AVJ 5 RAGES . Qrs . s . d .

Tallows . — -On Saturday the market became quiet , and a considerable business has been done at about 3 s , per cwt . below last Friday ' s ' price , principally for forward delivery ; the demand is good , and very little of the tallow given off on contract has been offered for sale ; the main question seems to be , how much will be shipped from St . Petersburg ? and upon this point there is a great diversity of opinion ; it seems to be admitted that the total supply is 128 , 000 cks ., viz . 80 , 000 cks .
shipped off , 23 , 000 cks . on the wharf , and 25 , 000 cks . near at hand , detained for want of water , or some other cause . It remains to be seen how much the Russians will keep back : the solution of this problem is the present difficulty . Our home melt is still short , and the quality is lower than usual , caused possibly by the number of animals slaughtered in the country . The quantity of Y . C . for sale on the spot is very limited ; about 10 , 000 cks . are afloat , but the wind is at present adverse to the arrival of sailing vessels ; our market leaves off quiet at 50 s . 3 d . spot ; 49 s . 9 d . all the year ; 50 s . 3 d . to 50 s . 6 d . January and March ; 50 s . 6 d , March alone . The public sales ( 978 cks . ) to-day went off briskly at an advance : Australian , 47 s . 6 d . to 50 b , 3 d . ; South American , 49 s . to 53 s . 9 d ., one lot , 56 s . St .

-BAILWAY INTELLIGENCE . There has been a little fluctuation in the railway market , but nothing more than would be occasioned by jobbing transactions . As far as we can learn , the railway congress is getting on , but somewhat slowly . Of course , with the various and opposing interests to reconcile , it is hardly to be expected that very rapid progress will be made , or that all will be conceded and agreed upon which ought to take place . A compromise is all that can be noped for . The half-yearly general meeting of the Sambre and Me use Railway Company was held this week .
The report , which was of a favourable character , after a brief discussion , was Carried , and a dividend of 2 s . Gd . per share was then agreed to . At a meeting of the board of directors of the Manchester , Sheffield and Lincolnshire Company , held at Manchester , resolutions were passed expressing their heartfelt sympathy with Mrs . Jec on the death of her husband Mr . A . S . Jeo , C . E ., who was for many years engineer to this company , and as such was entrusted with the execution of some of the
most difficult works iu tho kingdom . The total expenses of this company ' s railways from Jul y tho 1 st to October tho 3 rd , 3 85 S , amounted to 08 , 303 / ., as against 70 , 3 SQ / . for tho corresponding poriod of 1857 , showing a decrease of 207 // . An adjourned mooting in favour of a railway between Morpoth and Bellingham , was held at Morpeth on Friday , Sir W . O . Trcvelyan iu the chuir . The engineers' report was adopted , and a committee was appointed to take steps for bringing the matter before Parliament . _
.. , Tho construction of the Bristol and South Wales Union lino has boon commenced at tho lowor end of tho tunnel at Almondsbury . In tho event of tho proposed docks being imido at tho mouth of tho Avon , the directors of this company have resolved to oxtond thoir railway from Aust to ShiroUumnton .
