QUARTERLY CIRCULAR OF THE SCOTCH
IRON TRADE.

We have received the following Quarterly Circular of
Mr. T. Thorburn, dated—

81, St. Vincent-street, Glasgow, 30th June.
Sir,—During the last three months the production of
pig iron in Scotland has, from various causes, decreased.
25,000 tons, when compared with the same period im-
mediately preceding.
The home consumption, and exports foreign, coast-
wise, and per railway, as ascertained from authentic
sources, amount since the end of March to the extraor-
dinary quantity of 295,000 tons.
The stocks, which are now only 325,000 tons, laying
in warehouse-keepers stores and makers' hands have
consequently been reduced 125,000 tons, and in the face,
too, of a felt scarcity of tonnage and high rates of
freight. _

Notwithstanding the large shipments, and a great
local consumpt, but a small advance has been established,
prices oscillating (after a fall of 30 per cent.) between
50s. 6d. and 555. per ton.

Though these low quotations have induced unprece-
dented exports, these rates are unremunerative to the
iron masters in general, owing to the scarcity and in-
creasing cost of labour and ironstone, and have tended
to curtail the production.
112 furnaces are now in blast, being 7 less than there
were three months ago.
Two furnaces lately put in operation at Lugar are to
be stopped next week.
The averages prices were in January 665. 6d., Feb-
ruary Ms. 10d., March 525. 11d., April 525. Bd., May
50s. 10d., June 525. 9d. per ton.
To-day the market is very firm, and an anxiety to in-
vest in the article is apparent. Gartsherrie and Colt-
ness, No. 1, 575. 6d. ; Glengarnock and Summerlee,
565. ; Mixed Nos. g.m.b. 535. to 535. 6d. per ton, cash.
The uncertainty of the issue of the Eastern Question
impedes business.
Manufactured iron generally has declined 15s. per ton,
but rails have, during the last few days, advanced ss. to
10s. per ton, owing to the active demand, not only for
home railways, but for the Continent and America.
Bars, 71. 15s. Rails, 8/. 10s.
