THE IRON TRADE.

WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.

The market to-day was firmer, and a good
business tone prevailed, though the transactions
were not of great value. This was due in a
great measure to the fact that a large quantity
of iron changed hands at the quarterly meetings
last week, those who required tnateria!s for
early consumption satisfying their wants for
several weeks ahead. Some good inquiries were
made for long deliveries, but manufacturer a de-
clined to enter into such bargains as the would-
be purchasers would not give more than the
cr:rrent prices. The list houses, though not
repreeented, were reported to be quoting very
firm, and to have a great deal of work on hand.
MAers of commoner bars sold several valuable
is,notwithstarniing that they have sufficient
orders on their books to carry them through the
whole of the prrsent quarter. Inquiries as to
ihects for galvanising purposes were numerous,
but inskcrs refused to pledge themselves to
:):)t k I)yond small lots, and for these they asked
quarter-Jay paces 'intimating at the same time
to the buyers that they would have to take their
turn in the dslilery. Both nail and working-up
sheets were in good demand, and pries con-
tinua to tend upwards, while for hoops the trade
is report' d to he growing and the quotations

anti Northampt-asnire brands changed hands ;
but with the exception of hematites scarcely
any wilt r fur:ign metal was offered. Ironstone
witsgli_cteci to-day, but coke was much asked
after. A contiderable amount of nr aufactur-
ing foal was sold by the Cannock Chase, agents,
and the owners of thick coal pits, the highor
. prices being maintained. As an instance of
the depri ssiou in the coal trade during the
pAst year, the annual report of the Darlaston
GA and Irun Company shows a loss of over
-('1,900 ell their trade for the twelve months.
