STAFFORDSHIRE IRON MARKET-SEn. 117

Mr. Griffiths, in 1

Trade of South Staffordshire continues steady. and
healthy, the leading houses having ample orclers on
theirrbooks to keep their:works in full operation for the
present. , The second-rate houses, which of late, 'hue
been employed to a considerable extent for the Canadian

market, are less active, .owing to the falling off in the
demand for this market, which• necessarily takes place
at the close of the, shipping season. The sorts most in
request at all the works are sheets and boiler plates.
Small orders continue to arrive in the distiict for angle

bars, best:bars and hoops, for the East Indian and Ali's-
traliau markets. Inquiries have iiitewise been on foot dur-

for: Russia, under the new tariff regulations: 'This tariff
will, no doubt, stimulate the demand for. Staffordshire
Iron, which will be required in large quantities for the
new works recently established in the neighbourhood of
St. Petersburg. Some of the leading manufacturers
'viewed with a little anxiety the calamitous defeat of the
British and French expedition in the Peiho, and thought
this might interfere with-the market for Staffordshire
Iron. It is quite true that large quantities pf Nail
Rods, of superior make, are slit in this district for the
China market; but as these rods are exported to Shan-
ghai and Canton—ports which still remciin open, the
authorities of the former being on the best terms with
us, and the latter entirely under our control, we
think there is little probability of any interruption to
the usual course of the trade of this district with
China by the Peiho difficulty, which, after all, may have
occurred without the sanction of the authorities at Pekin.
On the whole the demand for Staffordshire iron must be
considered quieter, and the second-rate houses are more
willing to take specific: Lions than they were a, week
since. Very little business has been done in Native
Pigs during the past week ;- this being usually a flat
season of the quarter for pigs, owing to the near approach
of the preliminary meeting of the Iron Trade, which is
fixed for Thursday the '29th inst., when the prices will
be adjusted for next quarter. We believe there will be
I no change of price whatever decided 'upon at this

meeting, either in Pigs or Malleable Iron. The
official list of prices of Finished Iron is as. fol-
lows :—Common Staffordshire Bars, £7 10s. at the

works; best bars, £810s.; sheets, £9; doubles, £lO 10s. ;
nail sheets, £8 10s. ; Lattin, £l2 ; boiler plates, £9 ;

DONCASTER CORN-MARKET,

.-SEPTE.iIBER 17

There was a very small supply of new Wheat as well
as old, the total quantities not equal to
.our supply of
old during harvest • all qualities met a.brisk sale at 6d.
to ls. per three bushels advance, and very little of any
sort remained unsold at the close. The finest light
Barley maintains its value, but heavy was again lower,
the supply exceeding its demand. Oats and Beans un-
changed, with a retail demand. •

DONCASTER CATTLE MARKET.—SEPTEMBER 17.
The market was well supplied with all kinds of stock,
but only a slowish sale, at about the late currencies.
Mulch Cows, £l4 to £lB 10s.; Heifers, £5 to £ll ;
Steers, £6 to £l2. At this day's market, which was
well attended with buyers, yet, on the whole, trade was
very inactive. Pigs only a middling supply, and a
slowish demand, at about previous 'quotations.

CARLISLE CORN MARKET

-SEPTEMBER 17

We had a good supply of all kinds of grain' at our
market this morning. Wheat is fully as dear, with a
good demand. Oats in good demand, at last week's
rates. Barley slow, and ls. lower.
