Dong, and Tincroft. The bargains officially reported in
the Stock Exchange comprise East Basset at 205,, and
East Wheal Russell at 101, showing in the latter instance
a fresh advance. Foreign and colonial mining shares are
well supported. Subjoined is our usual weekly report of
the metal market :—"This week has shown improvement
in metals as compared with three or four weeks past.
Copper ha:i found purchasers at current rates- for English
and £ll4 for Burra Burra, and confidence in the future
course of the market for this metal prevails. Iron finds a
steady but rather limited demand for most descriptions.
Scotch pig is a shade better in price, and the shipments
show rather more favourably. Tin has been a little
easier to buy, and some business has followed in conse-
quence. Spelter is further depressed in price, but is gain-
ing a little attention. Lead is wholly without change.
Tin plates have sold more freely, and are less easy to
buy.'

I)OSCASTER CATTLE.—OnIy a few hogs exhibited at
the sheep market. In the beast market a fair show and a
steady market generally prevailing, and anything fresh
met with ready sale without any advancing prices. There
was also a good pig market, .small sorts meeting with an
active inquiry, and fully sustaining the rise of the past
few weeks. Strong sorts, though not lower in price,
were bad to get rid of, whilst pork readily met with
purchasers at 6s per stone.

NEWCASTLE CORN. —Rather less supply of home growth
wheat, with slow demand at last week's rates ; south
country and foreign without much inquiry, and Tuesday's
rates cannot be obtained. Flour difficult to quit, even at
lower rates. Malting barley dull, and prices with
difficulty maintained. Oats in large supply from the
growers, and fine qualities are-taken off at full rates, but
for ordinary sorts there is no- improvement. Beans and
peas unaltered.
DROGHEDA Contr.—There was a fair supply of oats
and barley, but of wheat small, at market to-day. Oats
must be quoted 6d higher on the week. No change in
wheat or barley. White wheat, 21s 6d to 24s 6cl; red
do., 21s to 235; oats, 11s to, 13s; barley, 13s. 6d to
16s 6d.

CARLISLE CORN.—There was-an average supply of all
kinds of wheat, which was taken: off at about last-week's
rates. Oats and barley the same-as last week.
BRADFORD WORSTED, Thursday.—For English wool
inquiries have been pretty numerous to-day, Taut only a
moderate business is doing. , Good Lincolnshire parcel
wethers may be quoted at 17Ad to 18d, and hogs 19d to
20d per Ib, according to quality.. Skins wools are, if
anything, a shade lower than last week, and in. other
descriptions prices have undergone no change.
LEEDS WOOL. (ENGLISH AND, FOREIGN)' Feb. 18.—
There is a little improvement in the demand for combing
wool, and prices are somewhat firmer. In colonial there
is a. moderate business, and prices are unaltered. The
demand for low wool is also moderate, and prices are
steady.

HALIFAX, Friday. Evening.—Business here shows very
little variation from. what has been its course the last fort-
night ; the generally more cheerful feeling which has
before been alluded. to continues to pr6vail, and there are
constant sales of long wool passing, although in small
-parcels.

The following appeared in cur Extra Edition of Satur-
day.

BOROUGH Hop. We continue to have a steady demand for
nearly all new hops, at very Pall prices. Other kinds have a
slow sale, at late rites.

LONDON STOCK. —Consols opened steady at 95 to 94, but were
not maintained, declining t 0,951 to 95i, at which price they are
now steady and inactive. There is scarcely a bargain doing.
Shares also very inactive, and prices have given way a little.
Canadian unchanged. ;, French same as at the closo-of yesterday.
