Of shipping Secondary qualities were worth about
BIS. Prices. however, haye since advanced con-
siderably, and as the stocks which are not large,
eagerly taken up for the north of Europe, there
seems little chance OF any great quantity finding Its
way to Great Britain
The IRON TRApK.-The iron trade of South Stat
fordshlre continues in the same prosperous state
which we noticed the week before last, and we un-
derstand that efforts are being made In various
parts OF the district, and more particularly In that
section OF the coalfeld lying near Oldbury, to OBJ
tam further supplies of coal and iron stone. Fer
this purpose, several pits, which had long since
been considered as worked out, have been re-
opened. and with the aid of increased skill and
improved machinery, the abandoned mines will,
1t IS expected, yield a fresh supply OF their
mineral treasures. From the uncertainty which
exists as to the measures of Government, with
respect to the numerous projected lines OF railway,
the iron masters evince great unwilingness to enter
INTO large Contracts otherwise from the abundance of
orders, we should have 10 quote prices considerably
above the rates fixed on at the recent quarterly
lngs OF the trade As il is, the existing prices can
scarcely be adhered to, and we are enabled to
state, on the best authority, that there are par
ties now in South Staffordshire endeayoring TO
effect purchases tor the conlinent-Germanyi u
particular-for several lines of railway, amount
ing, IN some cases, to 10000, and IN others to
10000 tons; i is, we believe, satisfactorily as
the kingdom, that the modification and changes
in the tariff with regard to the importation of pro.
duce from America, will cause such demand for
the consumption OF iron in the United States, as to
warrant the assumption that double and treble the
quantities hitherto exported from this country will
take place Immediately on the new measure coming
into operation. The effect of the increased and IN
creasing demand for iron is not confined TO our
own district, tor our Liverpool letters inform US
that Scotch pigs fetched Sos per ton, and that other
descriptions OF manufactured iron rate proportion
ably high.-Bumingham Journal

A letter from Stockholm, of the 10Th January,
states. that in the provinces Of Upsa, Stockholm,
