BIRMINGHAM IRON TRADE, THIIRSDAY.—There was a
middling attendance on 'Change to-day. The improved tone
reported last week continues, there being a fair demand for pig
iron and finished iron. The improvement in the trade of the
district, however, falls very far short of what could be wished,
and very far short of that which has taken place in other districts.
Still, there is a better state of things than there has been for
many months; and many works are now working full time. It
is expected that, should trade continue improving, higher prices
will shortly be realised.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, TITIIRSDAY.—The number of
cattle at the market to-day was considerably short of last week's
supply. The demand was good, and an advance of 3s. to 4s. per

70s. per cwt. ; secondary, 655. to 675. per cwt. ; middling and
inferior, 50s. to 60s. per cwt. Of sheep there was short supply
and good demand, at an advance of id. per pound on last week's
prices. Mutton, white-faced, top current, 10d. per lb. ; secon-
dary, 9d. to 91d per lb. Black-faced, top, 90. per lb. ; secon-
dary, 8-2{l. to 9d. per lb. Clipped, 74d. to Bd. per lb. Lambs,
top, 345. to 365. each ; secondary, 265. to 30s. each. At the close
a good clearance of all kinds was effected.
