B, tzmNGHA.3I, Thursday

The market was fairly well attended this after-
noon, ad u?gotiations were vely brisk but chiefly
with the view of testing prices. Transact', ne in
finished Lon were rather limited, owing to mer-
chants and consumers having bought freely durin..;
the last two er three wekks, and satisfied their im-
mediate r, quiremeets. Thu raw material and fuel,
however, v.er:-: in -,elt•eustained request, and in
some cases difficulty was experienced in obtaining
supplies of pig iron. This was especially the case
with Midale4biough pig, consequent upon the cur-
tailment ot production and the firmness of prices.
Quotations of pig iron were fully upheld, No th-
ampton pig being quoted at 52s 6d. and Derbyshire
at 558. Staffordshire all-mine qualities could not
be bought under £3 7s Gd, and 4.4 5s for hut and
cold c last. Finished iron was firm in respect of
all classes, but the upward movement has been
checked. Marked bars were steady at -£7 10k and
the usual extras for Round Oak brand. Co=mon
bars secured a minimum of £6 a ton, the av,rage
Iprice being from 1.6 5s to £6 7s 6d. The coal market
was active, but prices shewcd no alteration,
