IRoN.-There is a continued good demand for
prime Ohio river hot blast pig, which is fully equal
to the supply at $50 per ton, usual time. For a
prime article of Ohio river cold blast, suitable for
car wheels, &c, the demand is also good at $38,
ranging in some cases to $3.50; and holders Of
choice brands of this quality in many ask $40
For inferior descriptions of cold blast, including
Tennessee, the market continues dull and rates ir
regular. There no lots of Tennessee cold blast
we know of now in the market, but some parcels
held at Louisville and other points have been offer
ed within the week. but the outside rate which can
be obtained for Tennessee is $50; and Ohio river
inferior grades is $SSaS5; and the demand is not
good, as the rolling mills are well supplied and the
present rates for bars do not justify higher prices
than those above quoted, and hence it is that the
Iron men are indisposed to increase their stock
The sales which have transpired during the week
were: 476 tons Tennessee cold blast at S2S:5O
100 90 Ohio river hot blast at S35, and loo do
prime Ohio river Hanging Rock cold blast nj $780,

Ths Clover Seed Crop.
We have, on previous occasion, stated that great
anxiety existed In reference the fate of the grow
ing crop of clover seed in this State aud Indiana
We have made ever exc, ton to ascertain what has
been the fate of the crop, and sorry to
that IL has proved almost entire failure. We
have letters from various points in this State aud
Indiana; some OF them say there will be little, but
fully the twO-thirds OF corespot dents say the
crop in each of cir localities Is entire failure
The alters growth was very luxuriant, too much so
to yield well, but the wet weather beat it down,
and it partially rottei on the ground before it was
cut as general thing; and after it cut the wet
so injured the remaining seed chat 1t could not he
saved, except in comparatively few instances. We
feel perfect satisfied in saying that the entirely
amount secured in this State cannot be over one
fourth an average crop; and the same may be said
of Iudilna.
The stock of of old seed in this market Is exceed
ingly light and is in few hands.
By the last steamer from England, we are advised
that the crop OF clover in that Island is tOta fill
ure; and in London, Barring says an active demand
had arisen tor old We have no authentic Htrlli-
gence as regards the crop in the Eastern States,
but are disposed to believe, from what little
information have that it is better than it is in
the Western States.
The stock Of old seed in New York is said to be
a moderate one LIZ

Contracts for New Corn.

Within the last two weeks there have been nu-
merous contracts made for corn, amounting in
the aggregate to 1870 900 bushels at prices varying
from TO 3d. all to be delivered in this city before
the first of next January Holders, under the in
huence of the excited state of the market for bread
Stuff, and anticipating large foreign demand for
corn, are now very firm, and contracts could not be
made below IS, and many are asking higher rates.

The Hog Market.

There is a letter feeling ON the part OF BUYERS,
with increased disposition to operate. Contracts
for two lots have been made at 1915 for November
delivery, AMI holIers are now asking SIT and seem
pretty stiff at this rate. For December delivery,
$500 has been paid, and at this rate there per
haps more buyers than sellers, though yesterday,
owing to the reaction in the Pork market in New
York the fneing WAS less buoYAnt.
