IRONMASTERS' QUATtTERLY

MEETINGS.
WOLVERHAMPTON, 'WEDisiEsDAT:=-The first im-
portant meeting of ironmasters for the present quarter
was held at Wolverhampton to-day: The one usually
held at Walsall the previous day seldom affords any
conclusive indication of the real state of the iron
market, or of the intentions of those by whom prices
are regulated and adjusted. The proceedings at
Walsall are of a minor character, and exercise com-
paratively little influence upon the meetings which
subsequently occur at Wolverhampton, Birmingham,
46d-Dudley. It may be mentioned, however, that at
'Walsall yesterday, notwithstanding the drooping
condition of the iron trade, the settlement of quar-
terly accounts was described as far more satisfactory
than, under the circumstances, might have been ex-
pected'.
At the Wolverhampton meeting 'the opinions of
the trade generally are first ascertained with regard
to the resolutions adopted at the' preliminary meeting,
held a fortnight previously; for it must be borne in
mind that the decisions of that body are, as a matter
of course, binding only upon its associated members.
It was, admitted on all hands to-day that the pros-
pects of' tlke cissuing winter months were extremely
unsatisfactoff The reduction during the last two
-months o4the exports of metals and machinery is
deemed Of 'fearful import, while the increased tariff
lately adOpted by the Spanish Government apparently
