THE SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRADE.—BIR-
MINGHAM, March 28.—The preliminary meeting of the
ironmasters of this district was held at the Hen and
Chickens in this town this afternoon, Lieut.-Col. Barrows
in the chair. There was a tolerably full attendance, and
after a brief discussion a resolution was unanimously
passed to adhere to the old scale of prices for all descriptions
of manufactured iron—that is, £7 10s. for bars, and other
kinds in proportion. No other resolution was open to the
meeting, but it was doubtful whether more than half a
dozen of those present are able to obtain tho trade price.
