THE IRON TRADE.

WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.

The meeting of the iromuasters on 'Change
in this town to-day was a tame affair. The
gathering vas spiritless in both the pig and fin-
ished iron department. The week intervening
between the Preliminary and Quarterly Meetings
is usually a quiet time in the last-named branch,
but it is more than usually sq this week ; and
. the pig-maker; are not making the sales cus-
tomary at this. The Quarterly Meeting is net
expected to be otherwise than quiet.

There was but a small attendance on 'Change
on Thursday, and the tone of business was flat.
A steady inquiry for gond makes of pig iron i 4
reported, but the demand for manufactured iron
is languid. Small sizes of merchant iron, nail
rode, sheets, and gas strip have the call. The
works in South Staffordshire are now fully oc-
cupied, a goodly number are kept going abmt
half-time, but few are working up their full
power of produltion.

Snell close attention has been given to the growth and
