The late important rise in Ottoman Bank shares
was fairly sustained to-day, the impresaion remain-
ing that no National Bank for Turkey can be suc-
cessfully formed without the 00-operation of this
establishment, whose refusal hitherto to be identi-
fied with the schemes brought forward for the pur-
pose his been one main cause of their cymplete
failure. The position which the Ottoman Bank
has gained in Turkey by the ability and integrity
of its management has both secured the entire
confidence of the Ottoman government and gives
the bank already a European reputation.

The subjoined weekly summary of the metal
market is extracted from the circular of Meagre.
Von Dadetaxen and North :
The depression in the metal market, reported it: our last,
continues without abatement, and the downward tendency
of several articles has made still further progress. The
prospects of any improvement seems to, grow more and
mote distant, and from all appearances the business, until
the turn of the year, will be of an ineignificaot character.
Welsh Bars—The demand is slack, but prices are kept up
from Si. 15s. to 5/. 17s. lid. at the works, and 6!..a. no
6/. 7s. 641. free on board here. There is an average demand
for Staffordshire iron. In Scotch pig iron a good speculative
business has been done ; on Monday last the price touched
Ms. 9d. cash, and 575. tid. three months open; ein.e which
the price has given war Pd. per too. Copper is dull. Both
English raw and manufactured are obtainable under official
quotations. Foreign is also easier, bet buyers keep aloof. We
quote Barra and Kapund.i, ; Spenisb, 921. to 931.; Chili,
*W. Tin—The demand for Euglish has beeu very slack, and
the smelters have reduced the price of relined and common
4/. per too. Hardly any business bas transpired in foreign; a
few sales of Straits were reported at 1171. 10s. ; Banco
nominally 118/. 10s. ; the above mentioned reduction will
have a depressing effect, which cannot be determined until
a few days, no sales having been reported since the rcductioa
took place. Tin Plates—But few fresh contracts are now
entered into. Manufacturers, however, adhere to previous
grotarintirs.Weimadquote"airsosftrtgliwslithfroamfaro/..alvrgt::
