From the Iron Age report we learn that the anticipations
of a fair business for tho season gather strength, and We
note considerable transactions based thereon. Still, elc-
perienced business men look upon the season's trade 115
very doubtful, and counsel great caution in all transactions
based on the future of. the year 1868.
Pig Iron—Over 600,000 tons have been sold, and holders
generally are rather off the market, even at the advance'
We quote $36 to $3B for No. 1 extra, No. 2 extra s32'
Holders of forge have advanced their views about $2l
ton extra.

Copper- -Limited demand at old quotations.
Tin—Unchanged.
Lead—Some large transactions.
Spelter—Demand fair at slightly advanced quotation"!
61 to qc, gold.
Tin Plates—Quiet at old prices.
Cut Nails—Very depressed at $4l to $5.
Scrap Iron—Quiet, $42 to $45.
Old Rails—Sold at $44.
Bar Iron—Quiet and unchanged.
New Rails—Mills well supplied with orders.
The operations in American pig, since the large
transactions already reported, says the Shipping List,
have been almost brought to a stand by a prettf
general advance of $1 per ton on the asking prices for
future delivery. Since Friday about 1,000 tons Nos
1 and 2 have been sold at old prices, say $35 and
for Nos. 1 and 2, chiefly because refusal had already
been given: but $37 is now asked for No. 1 Allentown,
and $36 for No. 1 and $34 for No. 2of other brands. It
is estimated that about one-half the capacity of the Pearl-
sylvania companies has already been disposed of
i
hence the firmness and the demand for advallee
prices. In Scotch there is very little doing. Of
stocks in yard, are held firmly, but the demand at presort'
is small; small lots Eglinton brought $4O from yard. Wat
notice, besides, 125 tons wrought scrap on terms not
made public, and 40 tons old rails at $l4. There is 13A°
change to note in bar from store, the market being St
very quiet.
