IRON-M ASTERS' QUARTERLY

MEETING.

DUDLEY, SATURDAY NIGHT.—The ironmasters'
quarterly meetings terminated this evening as gloomily
as they commenced on Tuesday ; for the fear is that
prices, low and unremunerative as they are, cannot or
will not be maintained. It is clear to those who, from
their long and extensive connexion with the staple
trade of South Staffordshire, ought to be the most
competent judges upon such a question, that the pre-
vent depression is not owing to any material reduction
in the demand for British iron for home consumption.
With the exception of rails and other descriptions re-
quired for railway purposes,

may, however, affect South Staffordshire prices, al-
though they are higher than they were seven 3 ears

Scholefield, M.P., him-

ties of obtaining information upon the subject, at a
public meeting, held on Friday last, said, " When
he looked at the present state of Birmingham as re-
garded its prosperity he found that this prevailed to
a. very large extent ; indeed many persons asserted
that there bad been few seasons w ben the industrious
population were so well employed." It is a strange

In the event of a reduction of make, which no doubt
will generally be adopted, the
districts must of necessity
be great sufferers, but we
are happy to state that the future condition of the
men has not escaped the attention of the masters.
When there is an excess of production tbere.mast be
in manufactures an excess of labour. It is partly out

of consideration for the working classes that the
masters have preferred reducing the make of iron
to the reduction of wages, The former will be less
felt by the iron-men, and appears to be the more
acceptable mode by which they will be compelled to
participate in the condition of -their
employers. The
