In the metal market the demand for copper continued
very good, and it seems that prices will be maintained for
some time, even if a further advance is not established.
Manufactured iron is in fair demand, but orders are not
so plentiful as a short time since. No change in Scotch
pig, but the tendency is rather downwards for the present.
Lead is rather firm, and more enquired for. Spelter has
again advanced in price. In tin there has been a consider-
able further advance in Banca and Straits.

A petition for the winding up of the Esgair Llee Mining
Company is expected to be heard before Vice• Chancellor
Wood on the 14th inst.

The report of the directors of the Port Philip and
Colonial Gold Mining Company is to be ready on the 9th
inst.

An extraordinary meeting of the Carnarvonshire Slate
Company is called for the 18th inst., to confirm the resolu-
tion for borrowing £lO,OOO.

LIVERPOOL FRUIT TRADE.

CURRANTS : The imports of currants for the past month
are greatly reduced, as compared with the two previous
months ; being only about one-fourth of December imports,
and one-sixth of Nov., but they are greatly in excess of
January's, 1856. The principal part of what has come
forward is to the trade, consequently no great addition
has been made to what was already on the market. Our
clearances still continue heavy, and only show a falling
off from previous months of some 100 tons, which thr'r•^`,
apparently large, is only a reduction of 20 per cent, whilst
last year at the same period, it fell off 75 per cent. The
consumption in January 1856 was on'y one•fifth of the
consumption in Jan. 1657 ; these facts are most important,
and show that the consuming power of this district is
greatly on the increase. Our exports are to a fair extent,
and as currants are the cheapest fruit, as well as being
most in favour, (when good, for shipment,) it is not
improbable that, as the spring advances, they will be
considerably augmented. A. large quantity has been sent
coastwise to London, namely, 75 butts, 80 caroteels, 817
barrels, and 200 boxes. Prices, which in the middle of
last month were not quite so firm as they had been have
recovered, and for fine qualities are higher, and a good
business has been done.
