THE IRON TRADE.

Tlioesfiar EveNvcc.
The principal meeting of the ironmastere of this
district was held in the Town-hall here to-day ; there was •
large attendessos. The truseactions were not large, bat
most of the producers of finished iron are well supplied with
orders, and coseequently no dianteition to pries for others;
the fresh cootracts entered into were at the full trade prices,
sow of the leading makers being disposed to accept below
the Mtgs fixed at the preliminary meeting, sad the second-
class homes are obtaining better prices in proportion than
is nerd. It was mentioned, too. that the works are all is
fall operatics ; where such is not theme* it arises from a
difficulty in the way of procuring labour, or is some other
respect on that account. The fact of the North Stafford-
shire and Welsh makers be lag well pieced with regard to
orders must help materially to sustain the trade in this dis-
trict. With referessoe to pig-ins the prisms are not quite
so well nettled as they are far the soannfanund
