From the Iron Age report we learn that the anticipations
of a fair business for the season gather strength, and we
no's considerable transactions based thereon. Still, ex-
perienced business men look upon the season's trade as
very doubtful, and counsel great caution in all transactions
based on the futuro of the year 1868.
Pig Iron—Over 600,000 tons have been said, and holders
generally are rather off the market, even at the advance.
We quote $36 to $3B for No. 1 extra, No. 2 extra $32.
Holders of forge have advanced their views about $2l it
ton extra.

Copper- --Limited demand at old quotations.
Tin—Unchanged.
Lead—Some large transactions.
Svelter -Demand lair at slightly advanced quotations)
61 to 61c, gold.
Tin Plates—Quiet at old prices.
Cut Nails—Very depressed at $4-1- to $5.
Scrap Iron—Quiet, $42 to $45.
Old Rails—Sold at $44.
Bar Iron—Quiet and unchanged.

New Hails—Mills well supplied with orders.
The operations in American pig, since the largo
transactions already reported, says the Shipping List,
have been almost brought to a stand by a pretty
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 $33
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 $3l for No. 2of other brands. It
is estimated that about one-half the capacity of the Penn"
sylvania companies has already been disposed Off,
hence the firmness and the demand for advanced
prices. In Scotch there is very little doing. The
stocks in yard, aro held firmly, but the demand at present
is small; small lots Eglinton brought $lO from yard. `lre
notice, besides, 125 tons wrought scrap on terms 114)
made public, and 40 tons old rails at $l4. There is 13°
change to note in bar from store, the market being still
very quiet.

Laird will read a paper upon the Agricultural Statistics of
