peace which may promote the influence of Francelllof

IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MESTI
• _

oLVESITAMPTON, WedneTday—The usual
or
meetings of the ironmasters of this district for the
coo'
rant quarter commenced at Walsall yesterday ; t;se011/
cowl meeting was held at the Swan Hotel, in this, ",tioS,
this afternoon. The attendance was smaller thall,':fo
been for many years ; several of the leading mera""4oll
the trade were absent, and as regards business ther°oool
nothing doing whatever. Even those who are
to take the most cheerful view of the present posititlyerft
the trade are obliged to admit that it has rarely, if nets°
assumed a more gloomy aspect, and that the proslie." Lei
an early reaction are poor indeed. It is true tbst hilt
orders had come in during the last fortnight, arlu, et
stocks are small ; but there is an entire absence 04 Aot°
fidence on the part of consumers, who are indispolei- 11'
buy at any price ; and so far from' the reduction of iO%
per ton, agreed upon at the preliminary meeting, 151 br- 11°, in. any way tended to steady prices, quotations 3,-DP
wide as ever, and it is next to impossible to say 5!"-dibi
price iron has not been sold. There was some talk to
even of a ferther reduction upon the price of rrintl
134
factured iron, but having in view the price of C010341:10
the other raw material, it is, we believe, imposehgent
produce finished iron at a lower figure than the pre i" too
trade price, unless it is sold at a loss ; weare assure' V
I
that the principal makers will rather shut up their ere
than submit to any further reduction. At the
ing here a considerable amount of business is gene 01e;
transacted in pig iron ; to-day there was scarcely a; -1,0
cinder pigs are quoted at V. lOs to 2/ 15s. b°.
mine, 3/. 104. to 31. 15s. ; and Shropshire p ," Is.
hall) from 4t. ss. to 4/. 10s. Fifteen months aVveri
make of iron sold for nearly 71. a ton. In factla; on
branch of the trade is marked by
extreme depreo/01,
without (so f.q. as could be gleaned from the meetiligote
day) a single mater for congratulation. The tin or
is still flat and prices unreinunera.tive ; but in ,c,°-isc
quence of the low price of iron a reaction is daily
pected.
The colliers in the neighbourhood of Dudley ar„,4
tiit
upon strike, and coal being scarce and in derna"„,pto
maintains its price. There have been no further stte
at disturbance, and it is expected that the men will
turn to work shortly at the reduced scale.
