IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETINGS.

WOLVERHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.—The first important
meeting of the ironmasters of South Staffordshire, East
Worcestershire, and Shropshire, for the quarter, was
held in the Corn Exchange of this town to-day ; and
owing to circumstances—some of which were of an un-
usual character, such as the visit of Lord Ingestre upon
his election canvass—was most numerously attended.
There was scarcely a firm comprised within the district
unrepresented.

We stated a fortnight ago that at the preliminary
meeting held in Birmingham the advance of 20s. per ton,
which had taken place upon manufactured iron during
the last quarter, was determined upon as the governing
price for the ensuing quarter, and that it was likely to
be maintained at the then following quarterly meetings.
The prediction has been, by the tone of the market to-
day, perfectly correct. It was understood by all parties
that no advance should take place, and that existing
prices should be maintained.
Upon inquiries made of the leaning ironmasters of the
district, we ascertained that the demand for iron was
extremely brisk—that the books of the first firms of
South Staffordshire were full of orders—and that, owing
to the state of our foreign relations in the East, parties
who would otherwise be disposed to order, as well as
those by whom such orders, if given, would be required
to be executed, were alike disinclined to extend business
at existing quotations. So far the state of the iron
trade is coinsroidndssehtrioerndee. satisfactory. There are, however,
besides the demand for iron, other causes which lead to
the maintenance of present' prices. There is a great

LAKE BATHURST GOLD MINING COMPANY.—A meet-
ing of the scripholders of the Lake Bathurst Gold
Mining Company was -held yesterday afternoon, to
receive a statement from the committee appointed
to investigate the affairs of the undertaking. It
appeared that an attempt had been made to open
negotiations with the directors, but without success,
various excuses having been urged in order to create
delay. It was therefore proposed that a resolution
should be adopted empowering the committee to
take legal or other proceedings for the protection of the
interests of the shareholders. On this a lengthened dis-
cussion ensued, and, contrary views having been ex-
pressed, no definite result was arrived at. In the course
of the proceedings an opinion from counsel was read, to
the effect that the promoters and directors are severally
responsible for the part they have takeu f,r::la-
tion of the Conipany, and that allottees can. recover in
full the amount of their deposits.
