IItONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.
Tueasuay.—The third of the meetings of the South Staffordshire
irenmastere for the mortal quarter has been held here to-day; the
atlglwianre ma unusually large; many persons interested In the trade
both from London and Liverpool were percent. Rasing fully set
forth the forte in connexion with the state of the leanness in my
report of the presenting. at Wolverhampton yesterday, it is some.
again to advert to them. It may, however, be worth while to
state that the remarks which messared in the Daily Nen, toslay were
admitted by persons fully coninetent to form a correct estimate of
then. to be correct in evils,. particular ; and to be ea far contra-dis.
tinguislusil from the ems.. s nutices respecting the trade which
have appear din some other new snipers. Tberesolutisn to maintain
only existing prices wan adhere 4 to at the meeting to.day, the iron.
master themselves baying determined to keep down any tendency to
• rue. It was reported too, that there were orders from Belgium, if
at current rates, which men one amongst the other reasons to which It
would be imprudent particularly to advert, why there should be no
change. In fact, for no description of metals will any rise be acceded
to at present; one of the proo s of which will he found to the reso-
lution at the meeting in London, on Tuesday, respecting the copper
trade, the effect of which was to leave prices as at prevent,
care being taken not to enter for a while into new contracts. At this
meeting to-day the best qualities of Staffordshire pigs were paid at
M. Ps. At the hot quarter day they realised only 5/. se. With re.
/ensue to the trade of the district, it is pleasurable to report that its
healthy state formed a subject for much congratulation amongst all
present to-day. The high price of call does not acmor likely to un-
dergo any reduction at prevent, a circumstance which is probably
mainly attributable to the obstirmey with which the miners adhere to
their resolve to work for two-thirds of the week only, which, of nears-
fifty, causes a scarcity of 6n article which is nut new so much in de-
mand. The imams, iron-toundera, chain and trace maker., and fire.
brick and crucible manufactur set, are all fully employed; in the last-
named branch the ceders are reported us being "overwhelming."
Upon the whole, the state of affairs, in the district of South Staffs.+
shire seldom presented& more promising expect.
