Metals.-(From Messrs. Alex. Bielfeld & Co.'s report.)-28th August:-As usual, during this time of the year, business is extremely unsatisfac- tory to both buyers and sellers and has been fur- ther impeded by the" Free Silver" Politics advocat- ed in the United States. Commercial news from the last named country state they are passing through the worst ordeal it has seen for many years. H.E. Li fíung-chang with his 10 per cent tariff question will no doubt be the next impor- tant matter for discussion here and doubtless our Chamber of Commerce will vigorously uphold the non-establishment of same. Chinese are also finding considerable difficulty in financing their goods, the native banks being very chary with their advances. Market remains quiet, with no orders of “spot” sales this week,
