The state of the Metal market i; thus reported on by
Messrs. Wm. Short and Co.:—" For Welch and Staf-
fordshire iron the demand has been very limited during
the last six weeks. Bars, in Wales, are a shade lower
in price. An order for a very large quantity of
rails for Russia, is reported to have been taken
during the last few days ; but, as the period
for delivery is very extended, it has had
but a moderate effect in stiffening the price. Consider-
able business was done in Scotch Pig Iron in the middle
of last month, and prices advanced from 355. 6d. to 375.
per ton for inferior ord. brands. Since then the price
has declined a shade, but a fair business has continued
to be done at 365. 3d. to 365. 6d. per ton, at which lat-
ter price we quote the market sellers.
";Both in Wales and Scotland the subject of a general
agreement to reduce the make of iron is occupying the
attention of the iron masters."
The Sugar Market has opened rather lower this week,
and although holders of Coffee are firm, buyers do not
come forward freely. Native Ceylon is about 395. for
good ord. Rice is flat, but Saltpetre is brisk. Dye-
goods also look well, and the lower sorts of Tea are
wanted.
A measure of great importance to the East India
interest has been accomplished within the last few
days, and gives rise to considerable discussion here. It
must be patent, to all who have watched with 'attention
the subject of steam communication with the East, that
a Parliamentary Committee was formed for the purpose
of inquiring into the expediency of promoting increased
facilities, and that, in substance, their recommendation
was favourable to the establishment of a new line of
steamers. Encouraged by the understood bias of the
Government, and the anxious desire of the mercantile
interest to obtain a choice of conveyance, either for
their freight or themselves, several eminent and influen-
tial parties formed a new undertaking, under the title
of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company. For this
they secured a charter, and entered into conditional
contracts with eminent builders for the supply of suitable
steamers. Not a shadow of doubt existed, therefore,
that these parties were in earnest, and as to their ability
to carry out what they proposed, we could name one
or two of the directors
who,
necessary among
ships.themselves, T
heold
ha d th
e
means of paying for
com-
pany, however, possesses great power, and no small in-
fluence ; and, having the command of a large fleet, could
offer unusual advantages to the Government. In
this way, probably, we must account for their
receiving a preference, not only in the revival
of the old contract, but likewise in the award of
the separate and additional service. One important
consideration now with the Admiralty in making ar-
rangements for the mail service is that the whole fleet
of the contracting companies is at their disposal in the
event of war, that the steamers are built on a given
scale, and that even the crews from their organization
would become excellent volunteers, if so disposed. There
is no reason to conclude, however, that in order to se-
cure these advantages a monopoly should be instituted.
At present there is but one company that convoys goods
and passengers overland to India, and while renewing
their present contract for seven years, the extra service
required could most easily have been given to a rival.
It is notorious that greater accommodation is needed,
and that if more travelled across Egypt it would long
since have been worth the Pacha's while to have offered
increased facilities. The charges, too, quite preclude
the numerous subordinate officers, clerks, and mecha-
nics from proceeding by that route, and time is to them
as valuable as to others. We hold, therefore, that even
if the Government is advantaged by getting a cheaper
contract, the mercantile public suffers by the want of
competition, and it would pay them to subsidise any
rival company that took a contract below a fairly re-
munerating rate. We hope this will be taken into con-
sideration with the Royal Australian Mail Steam Com-
pany, which has acted with such spirit in doing the Go-
vernment work low, depending upon private support, and
an extended contract hereafter.
The holders of Mexican Bonds are now assembled to
consider generally their future prospects, but more parti-
cularly to decide as to the acceptance of the terms which
their committee have provisionally arranged with
Messrs. Borings. The course is loft open to every
holder to retain his claim upon the indemnity money
until it is received in England, or to take it at once,
consequently no objection was likely to arise. The
committee, who have worked so zealously, really merit
great praise. They have rescued a considerable sum
from the American indemnity fund, they have obtained,
under trying circumstances, the payment of two divi-
dends, they have acted with decision in sending out an
agent and looking after moneys due, and have sti-
mulated the Mexican Government to make strenuous
exertions in support of its credit. The benefit of this
will be permanent, for a state that once regards the in-
terest on its debt as an unavoidable charge without
which no budget can be complete, will establish ateo:o-
tem of taxation and economy that will be a guaran
the creditors and a benefit to itself.
