IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY
MEETING.
The principal quarterly meeting of the iron
trade was held on Thursday in the Town Hall
but, although there was a large attendance,
there was not much actual business transacted.
The Earl of Dudley and Messrs. Barrows and
Sons. who have been keeping up an excep.
tionally high price during the past twelve
months, have at length brought down their
quotations to the extent of .12, the Earl
Dudley's bars being now £l2 12s. 6d., and
Messrs. Barrows and sons £l2. The other
leading firms, who sonic time ago reduced
their prices, have not made any alteration
in their quotations. Ordinary second-class
makers quote from £lO 10s. to £ll per ton.
Sheets are still very firm. Bars, hoops, and
strips were on Thursday in firm, though not
brisk, demand. Shropshire pig iron has been
reduced in some instances as much as 15s.
per ton, but both buyers and sellers are some-
what unsettled as to the best course to •
take, and the reduction announced was con-
fined to the better class of pigs. The strike
amongst the miners still remains in an un-
satisfactory state, and the result of the May.
or's inter view with the representatives of
the men to-day will be awaited with much
anxiety. It is believed that the result will
be satisfactory, and that the men will be ad.
vised to accept the masters' terms. Should
this be so, ironmasters will in all probability
make further concessions and will be in a
position to compete with Belgian makers,
who have for some time past carried away
many important orders out of the district.
Messrs. Ash and Sons, of Bull-st., exhibited
on Thursday a number of improved fin.
swing dials for surveying mines, and the nu-
merous improvements that have recently
been introduced in these instruments will
enable a more accurate survey being taken.
An improved lock-level, a number surveying
levels, and also the transit theodolite, which
has been made for the surface or underground
surveying and astronomical purposes, were
exhibited, and attracted a good deal of :igen.
t ion. Various pit barometers and other in.
figments were also shown by Messrs Ash.
In North Staffordshire the iron trade is
waiting for orders, for South Staffordshire
fixture of prices, and for the coming oper-
ation of the reduced remuneration for coal.
getting., which will pro bably be half the re-
duction proposed by the masters.
