and for American securities the quotations were the
turn lower. The demand for discount is somewhat
greater than yesterday, but the price is still 3 per

The following is an extract from the circular of
Messrs. J. Berger, Spence, and Co. respecting che-
micals, minerals, and metals :—" The cheerful feel-
ing prevalent in the chemical trade is now more
apparent, and affects most branches, giving rise to
more hopeful prospects of an advance in prices
among the manufacturers, many of whom have
been so long suffering from the low values cur-
rent. A rise in sodas of all descriptions, and in
bleaching powder, seems imminent, and consumers
who have booked their orders for all the year's re-
quirements have been well advised. In the mineral
market nothing of note has taken place, and there
has been rather less than an average amount of
business transacted. The week closes with a better
demand for metals, and prices generally are im-
proving. Scotch pig iron is in fair demand, closing
steady."
