The metal market during the present week has shown
more animation than for some time past. A fair amount
of business has been done, without any material alteration in
price. The reduction in the rate of discount will contribute
to restore confidence to shippers and operators. There is
no change in the position of Welsh ban ; the demand is
slack, U. 'b. 6d. f.o.b. Wales, the nearest price ; and 6!.
per ton here. The Staffordshire reports are still depraved.

touching 475. cash, it rallied to 47e. 3d. cash, tor mixed num-
ber warrants. Copper is still very dull ; English is obtain-
able from fil. to 71. per ton under Axed sc:s. Foreign is
slow of sale. We quote Barra, 1001. ; oda, 99/. ; 200
