_ IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.--BIRMINGHAM,
Thursday.—The third meeting of the ironreasters of this
district for the current quarter was held at the Royal
Hotel, it this town, this afternoon. There was a far
more numerous attendance of the trade than at Wolver-
hampton yesterday. There were buyers present both
from London and Liverpool, and for marked iron orders
were taken for a considerable quantity ; indeed the
usual quarterly contracts entered into were not much
below the average. In pigs there was not so much done,
for the makers of wire pigs firmly maintained prices ;
the consequence is that those who have the means to
buy hold off, and the more needy class of consumers who
require the commodity do not press their orders, because
they know that in present circumstances their bills would
not be taken. This meeting passed off altogether quite
as satisfactorily as could be expected, especially consider-
ing that commercial concerns in the district have been
shaken
last to an extent which has not been paralleled for
the quarter of a century at least. There were in-
dications of a returning healthy tone, and a more cheer-
ful feeling was evinced to-day.
