Annexed is our usual weekly report of the metal
market. The upward tendency of the market for
copper is viewed with satisfaction by the copper-
mintng interest :
There is a large and good demand for copper, and the
smelters have pail a very considerable advance for ores
during the week. Ores are now too high in comparison with
oho nomitud pliers of manufactured copper ; end it to, there-
, tore, expectei ILA there will be a coisidemblo advance in
ununitactured ere long. Iron is firm, and there is no lack
of orders in the market. Lead continues firm in price and in
good request. Speller is teactive, but the price does not give
way in c.mseguence. Tin is considerably depressed, but this
is nothing more than was expected at about the time of the
prompts of pnrciut,s at the last Dutch sales, which fall on
the Itith inst. Tin plates are bought very freely.
