IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.—Woc-
TIRMAIIPTON, OCT. 13.—The anal quarterly meeting of
the irosimasten of this district was held here this after-
noon. The atteadanes not only of these astually engaged
in the trade, but of buyer from London, Liverpool, and all
parts of the country, was more numerous than for a
long time past, and after a full discussion of the circum-
SWIMS of the trade, there seemed to be a general concur-
ream in the view that the recent rise in the price of iron
mos fully justified. Very large orders were offered to-day
by Raybab consumers and merchants, and although in some
1111011181 they were refused by the largest makers in the
Madeipetion that a further advance may take place before
Christmas, others, who have less faith in the continued
pressure of foreign orders, accepted those offered to-day
rather freely. Up to the present time the ironmaaters have
derived little, if any, advantage from the recent advance
in the price, mast of them having large meexecuteal order,
at the old price, which are yet unsatisfied. Pig iron is
scarce, and the demand being large and stocks low, prices
are not only firm, bat another advance is anticipated. Ac-
counts of the manufacturers ware paid to-dey with that

innernality for which this district is Proverbial' The coal
masters are, it is said, projecting a further advance in the
price of that commodity, for which the present demand is
