There is little demand to-day for public securi-
ties, and prioes generally show a drooping ten-
dency, in consequence of the refusal of Austria to
allow the Venetian question to be discussed in the
Congress. It is feared that there is not
much prospect of peace being maintained,
unless some arrangement is made for the
transfer of Venice to Italy. For the moment
the decline in the value of money in the open
market and a further large arrival of gold by the
China from Boston, have had no favour-
able effect. The funds have receded

It is stated that a scheme is on foot for amalga-
mating three banks which have recently failed-
viz., the Bank of London, the Consolidated, and
the European-into one undertaking, to be called,
w perhaps, the London Bank (Limited). Many of

It is gratifying to report that during the recent passim
metals have held their owe much better than was (waist*
anticipated, and although we cannot yet report say adman,
in prices or increase of business, there is reason to hope
that with a general return of confideneeonstals will movie
from their present depressed condition. Iron—The demand,
for Welsh and Staffordshire iron is slack. Makers com-
plain of scarcity of orders, and would make a slisht con-
cession in price. Scotch pig iron after touching Ma. 9d.
cash, recovered to 535. 6d. cash, but closes at 59e.
3d. cash. Copper—A fair amount of business
bas been done, particularly in foreign. As high
as 831. has been paid for Chili bars in Liverpool.
Burrs and Wallaroo have realised 871. 10s. to 118 L. -
Bah raw is in great demand for forward delivery at f
prices, while smelters decline orders, except for actual
consumption and early delivery. Tin—The market was
very dull, and little disposition to operate ;as low as
731. 10s. accepted fur Straits. The market is now firmer ;
