Subjoined is our usual weekly report of the metal market :
Political uncertainties still prevail to the hindrance of busi-
ness, which is quite at a stand-still in most branches. Cop-
per is much neglected, there being but few. buyers in the
market, but prices are without change. Iron is yielding
somewhat to the slack demand for merchant descriptions,
and it has become easier to buy; Scotch pig is weak. Tin :
This metal is buoyant from short supplies of Borneo, and
English has advanced this week £3 per ton on common, and
£4 per ton on refined. Lead is hardly so firm, although
the demand is fair. Spelter is again neglected, and declin-
ing in price. Tin plates are fetching higher prices, and are
in fair inquiry.
At a meeting of adventurers in Catherine and Jane don-
sob Mine, held on Thursday, a very favourable statement of
accounts was submitted; showing a balance in favour of the
mine over all liabilities of £135, the mine having paid cost
since the last meeting. The report was also looked upon as
satisfactory.

From gusewarne Consols, Captain I. Richards reports
(April 13): " In driving east of Hollow's shaft, about 6 feet
behind the present end,we cut and have opened on a branch,
where we broke £l6 worth of tin from 4 feet of ground.
We have another branch in the present end, and purpose to
drive the end 6 feet further before opening on its course.
We have discovered and opened on thirteen very good
branebes, besides several others on which we have not yet
opened at all. Our last month's sale about paid total costs."
