there is considerable activity. Burs, girders,

manufacturers are still busily employed, £B. for
singles being the common quotation. In pig.
iron there is next to nothing deirg in all-dine,
but for part-mine there is a fair trade, with
every prospect of a considerable increase at an
'early date. Large orders for forward delivery

Furnera arc willing in p;•.- . Makers show no
to give w, and in view of an in-
creased d- wand several additional furnaces have
Ift.e:y been put in blast. The nominal quota-
tions are £4. for hcwatites, £3. 104. to £3. 124.
6m. for native all-wine, and 42. 2e. 61 for
cinder pigs. Northampton and DerlAshire pigs
are quoted at £2. 7:1. Ott. to £2. 10s., but there
is little doing in them. There Ic, however, an
improved demand for Northamptonshire iron-

request, but are in plentiful supply.'
