It appears by the accounts received from Liverpool that
the iron=masters of Scotland have persevered in a course
of policy as to delivery of produce, except under certain re- .
gulations which are considered to be opposed to the facilities
that ought to be given to trade. At a meeting of those con-
nected with the iron trade of Liverpool,a series of resolutions was
passed upon the subject, and a deputation was appointed to
confer with the Scotch iron-masters upon the subject. It is
the opinion of parties connected with the iron trade, that the .
utmost facilities ought to be given to commercial transactions,
rather than that impediments should be placed in the way of
an extension of the trade. It may be true that at the present
time there is a great, nay an almost unprecedented, demand
f?riron, chiefly on account of railways in course of progres-
sion, but there must be a limit drawn, and the greater the
facilities given by iron-masters to their customers, the more
surely will the trade be placed upon a secure foundation.
The reply of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to some
observations made last night by Mr. Williams as to "light
gold" has created a " leetle" surprise in the City, and most of
the London and other bankers in the City have become more
careful in taking sovereigns without at first having them .
weighed at the counter. It is considered that upon
a subject so materially affecting the currency that the
Government ought to continue to afford the utmost facilities
to the pubfir, instead of" shutting up shop" for the purpose
of exchange. It is not the fact that the currency has been
nearly cleared of light sovereigns, as the Chancellor of the
Exchequer stated last night. If our assertion is deubted, let
him apply for information to any of the " City," er the West-
end bankers upon the subject.
The commercial advices from the United States, brought
by the Sea packet are not of much interest. The fire at
Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania), occasioning a loss of about ten
millions of dollars, has been a subject of conversation and re-
gret among the merchants connected with the American
trade here.

The market for Consols is still rather weak, the price for-
the Account having ruled from 9814 to 95%, and for Money
from 984 to 9814. The premium upon Exchequer-bills
has been at 545. to 565. Bank Stock opened at the coin
paratively low figure of 108.1/6, but it is now 1 per cent
higher. The Reduced Three per Cents. have only fluctuated.
from 9714 to 97%.
Only a few bargains were made in the foreign stocks to-
day. Spanish Consols have been done at 3014, and the Pas-
sive Bonds at 7% to S. There has been a fall in Portuguese
Converted Bonds from 6714 to 663%, and in Mexican from
36:5i to 361%.
A large amount of business has been transacted in the
Railway Shares to-day, but without any material alteration
in prices. A good deal of anxiety is exhibited for the result
of the application for concessions cf the new French lines of
railways, and complaints are made of the delay that has al-
ready taken place, especially considering the large amounts
of money that was at present locked up in them.
