THE IRON TRADE. We 'understand that at a
meeting of tj*. Welsh iron.roastel-s, held at Rumney, on
iuTuesdaycss io
the price of liar-iron was, after considerable
d
per to. We understand that some
discussion,
2.7rta,i, s
ea
40s.
m
oi the largest iron-masters argued that such an increase of
price would only tend to glut the work-et, and that its usual
consequence,
,great depression, Would follow. The ma-
jority, however, considered that the present state and
prospects of the trade
determined upon. To justified the, advance, and it was
" m.ake hay while the sun shines"
has generally been, an n:adisputed maxim, and we there-
fore trust that the result will be a permanent as well
as a successful harvest. We also understand that it
was generally determined to make a spontaneous advance
of wa,ps, so that the workman might have his share in the
prowerity of tho trade. The common report is that the
wages of all branches will be advanced ten per cent. We
- hail this intention, which will be found as
,politic as it is li-
beral. 7 Aferthr guardian.
