METALS.-LONDON July 6.-The Iron market reaming
is the same inanimate conditinn as for some time post, and the pre-
sent tales do not gym to leapt buyers to come In. Welsh bar Iran is
rather easier, and must be written at 41. I3s. per ton, tree on board,
in Wales. In StaffnraWalre, the prices at bats, ho. ps, sheets, &c.,
have been reduced 10a. per it a, and It is thought, by the beet informed
in the trade, that the waken will be Wired to bake off another 10e. at
their quartet), meetrna, to be held next week in Birmingham. Scotch
Pig Iron is held at about th eame rates as last w, eh, and does not
attract attention, being considered relatively higher than the price of
Pig Iron produced in Wiles and Statforal.bire; and, u there
Is now but little prospect of an early adjartment of the
Danish question, a greater uncertainty than ever prevails as
to the future prospects cf this Important branch of the trade.

WOOL.—Loffnok, July 7.—The public sales of colonial
and foreign commenced on Tuesday lot. The attendance of hovers 1;
both from the menu'averingdietrictsand the Continent ha. been barge,
and considering the great quantity to be offered, which will amount to 8!
rather ato,e 40,01,0 hales, the holdings have been brisk, and all that 5'
has at present passed the chair has met with ready buyer*, at full 20
last sate's prices to Id. per lita advance. Merchant. are o opinion 50
that a further advance will take plate before the contiusion of the 15

BEDFORD FAIR.—The annual fair was held yesterday.
Unfortunately for the farmers in this neighbourhood, the fair at 30
LeightiAs was held the same day. There was a very small lot of Wool
on show, and at did not appear that many sales were effected on the 10
Green. The Om, of Taps wan not ai large ar usual, but there were 20
some fine animal. exhibited. The prices were : for the beet abrading 10
ram, the Duke of Bedford's premium of 10 Nom was awarded to Mr. 10
Ebenezer Peacock, of Wilehara.tead. Yoe the beet ram of any age, 211
the Duke of Iledfool's premium of 10 sock was awarded to Mr. Owen SO
Wallis, of Barton, near Kettering. The dinner took place at the swan 23
hotel, and the chair was taken by Mr. George Hine. There wax a 12
very small party, and no sal, of %fool were effected. The prices of. 3311
fered were to 20.. for half.bred Down Legs; 225. to 24.. for Lei. 32
neater Legs; 22.. to 23.5. down sheathogs and ewes. 331•
Lzkus, July G.—The dem.nd for both foreign and colonial i°
Wool. continues tatisfactory. At the pending London coke, which 100
commenced en the 3rd instant, full last May rates are being real red, I,
in many instances a decided advance ; and an improved tone has in
consequence been given to prices in this market. 'llle foreign buyers 20
at present la London are, we understand, buying very freely. There
has been rather more businean done in English Wool during the pre. 2,
rent week, and last week's prices are fully maintained. 30
LEIGHTON BUZZARD ANNUAL FAIR, July 6.—Thia fair, 33
which has now been eetabliehed eleven years, and ranks in import, 20
ance with many of the largest Wool fairs in the kingdom, wan held 84.
yesterday. 40,761 fleeces, in 166 lots, were brought to market or 11
offered for sale through samples. In 1346, the quantity offersi was

318 tots; and in 1640, 39,427 fleeces, in 196 lots, Po that althrugh the
present year shows a falling off compared with 1546 and 1317, the in.
, crease from ;IDS it considerable. The amount of business done yes. 33
today we. large, the greater part being sold off; 26a. Bd. per fed was
the Mtbeet price heard of, and 22r. the lowest ; the average was
about 24.., which, in comparison with many neighbouring fairs lately
held, show somewhat better price* than obainable at those places. As 61
usual on this occasion a large awning was erected, part of which '
was devoted for tae purposes of the fair, and part foe the public ie
dinner, to which more than 200 persons eat down. As usual, Colonel go
