Mr Joseph Gibbins
Annexed you have the offers for yesterdays sale of Ores & am sorry to say the price is now so rapidly advancing that it is almost impossible to make any kind of Calculation where to offer; to morrow will be sold about 1200 tons in 23 parcels a part I shall endeavour to purchase but fear it must be done at a price I would not wish to go at; I almost fear the price will soon be too high for the Manufacturers & that it will again occasion a Stagnation in the trade.
I am Sir Yr most obt Servt
