The mibjoined report on the metal market is
from the circular of Messrs. von Dadelazun and

With the exception of an important rise in the value of
tin, the metal market has shown but little animation since,

There is more steadiness in Welsh iron ; the prices have
not altered. The reports from Staffordshire are more en-
couraging, more orders having been given out. Scotch pig
iron has maintained its position at 545. 3d. cash. Copper:
No alteration ta report ; the demand is slack Loth fee
raw end manufactured, and prices unsettled sad
almost nominal. Burrs, &if. . &V. 10s.
Chili bars in Liverpool have recoded to 721.
Tin has attracted much attention. Last Tuesday this
smelters advanced the price of English tin 31., making
common blocks and ingot 961., bass 971., and refined 994
Strait. at once advanced to 92!. cash and 931. for arrival,
at which considerable business was done. Yesterday the
