quieter in Finished Iron than it was a week ago. -We
have had less business done in Pig Iron this week,
the manufacturers being by no means eager buyers ;
and the makers of Hydrates, and first-class All
Mine Brands show just as little disposition to sell.

market for Scotch Pig Iron "has been flat,- and•pnces
of all kinds have sustained a further reduction." The
opening price was 525. 6d., a pressure of sales, however,
caused a gradual fall to 51s. 103 d. cash prompt for

Copper continues sickly, and the deMand for export
more languid. The standard more unsettled, and likely
to be reduced. SmelterS still adhere to. fixed rates, but
another reduction in the standard will accellerate a fall
in the value of this metal, which to us appears inevita-
ble. Tin : Market firm at former quotations ; moderate
bitiness done. The market for foreign is very unsettled,
with little business doing. The nominal price of Bann.
is £143. Straits £l3B, but buyers are shy, and avoid
purchasing at these rates. Lead : Little doing ;
Pigs, £22 ss. ; Sheets, £23. ss. ; Pipe,' £23
15s. ; market quiet, with very few transactions.
Spc;lter—The demand very moderate, Stocks increasing ;
price about £2O ss. to £2O 10s., if business is done in
moderately large parcels. Tin Plates—The demand for
home consumption continues good, and small orders for
the best qualities have been arriving at several works in
this district by nearly every post. On the other hand
the demand for exports has fallen off consi/erably.

THE MONEY MARKET,

The summary of the Article in the Aloniteur imply-
ing that, in revenge for the conduct of the Duchies,
Venetia is to be persecuted, caused the English Funds to
open this morning with a heavy appearance, the infer-
ence being that nothing coeld be more calculated to
stimulate the Venetian provinces to a hopeless insur-
rection.

for discount has increased and few bills were nego-

can be at all tines accurately discerned. Writers
