STAFFORDSHIRE' IRON MARKET—SEPT. 24'.
Mr. Griffiths, in Tali weekly circular, .says:--Thelron
trade of Routh Staffordshire continueS'atieady, with little
variation since our last report, most of the lesaling
houses Being fully ooeusied, the demand for sheets,
particularly thin sheets,- being unabated: The-principal
houses are. likewise well off for orders ffir boiler plates..
On the other hand, the- demand for common bars has
considerably fallen off; and the market for best Stafford-
shire-bars-is less active. The orders from the United
States are- still- meagre, and by no means up
to the, expectations which existed a month
since; however, the orders in hand P-.4r rods for China
have, in- no instance, been countermanded,: and T the
general feeling now appears to be that- the. China trade.

will not-be interrupted.. This being tire-fag end of`-the
quarter,,and now on the heels of the preliminary meet-
ing whiell takes place, on Thursday next, it is natural
that merchants should'withhold their• orders for iron,•
until after the price is, fixed ; hence the, languor which
prevall-s-to a moderate extent in every. department.. As
we stated last week there is no prospeet of any change in
the prig tof finished rron for next quarter. The meetings
at Birmingham and Wolverhampton were tolerably- well
attended; very littrehusiness done in.pigs ; the market-
flatter, and, for inferior qualities,
.prices slightly easier:
For first-rate hydrates and all mine 'brands the price is.
firm;. and, where business has been done, late rates fully
maintained. Of these latter qualities, the stocks are small
in the hands of the makers, and on this account, together
with the general run upon these brands by the manufac—
tuzers, present rates will, no doubt, be fully reatiedatiths•
ensuing quarterdhy. The official Est of prices of fluishea
Iron is as follows :—Common Staffordshire. Bars, £l'
10s. at the works ; best Bars, £8 10s. ; Sheets, i4,s;
Doubles, £lO lOs. ; Nail Sheets, £8 10s. ; Latten, £22;

Pig Iron has been eat, with a downward tendency;
closing yesterday (Friday) mixed Nos. buyers, 51s.
sellers, 51s. 3d. Cash, against Warrants. ThZ
shipments for the week were 9,208 tons against 11,426
tons during the same period of 1858, which shows
a considerable fatting off for the week. Copper—The
standard becomes more unsettled, with a decidedly
downward tendency, buyers being shy of contracts,
For English Copper the market is very languid, and
_although both the market and the standardelearly indi-
cate a reduction in fixed rates, the smelters still refuse
concession ; nevertheless, as we have repeatedly
stated, smelters will speedily have to give way
in price. Foreign is to be bought at lower prices.
Tin—The market for English is steady, with a fair
business doing ; stocks of Foreign increasing ; prices
well maintained. Spelter has been sold at £2O ss. dur-
ing the week • stocks large, and a fair business has been
done this week. Lead has been sold during the week
at lower rates, nevertheless, smelters are firm holders at
late prices. Tin Plates—Market flat ; price 6d,. to 9d,
per box lower.

trade not brisk, except for best samples and secondary
qualities. Slow sale for Oats and Beans.

DONCASTER CORN MARKET.—SEPTEMBER 24.

an advance upon prices of last week, which buyers were
indisposed to give, and we have a heavy sale at former
quotations. Good show of Barley, but trade far from
brisk, except for best samples, and secondary qualities
make somewhat less money. Slow sale for Oats and
Beans.
