METAL TRADE.—The important sale at the Horsley
Iron-works of Dudley, came off last week. The recent
advance in the price of iron, and the briskness of trade,
induced a keen competition, and high prices. Old cast-
ings sold at £4 7s 6d to £4 10s, and pig iron £4 15s.—
A special meeting of nail-masters residing in Dudley and
the neighbourhood was held at the hotel last week, to con-
sider the state of the trade, and the advance required by
the men, who have turned out for wages, for a rise of 10
per cent. There are altogether in the district between 30
and 40 nail-masters, only 11 of whom were present at the
meeting, but these were unanimous in their opinion that
the men should receive 20s. in the pound, instead of sub-
jecting them, as has been the case hitherto, to an abate-
ment of 10, and in some instances to 20 per cent. The
meeting adjourned till this week, in order to hear the
repl,es of the non-attending masters, but the "strike"
may be virtually considered at an end. A number of men
in Dudley have already recommenced work at the advance.
There has been considerable animation in the Birmingham
metal market during the last week or two. An advance
in the price of copper has been anticipated for some time,
and at a trade meeting held on Tuesday last, it was re-
solved to make an advance of £4 les per ton. Tin has
been very steady, but on Thursday an advance in that
article of £3 per ton was notified to the buyers here; the
supply is still very limited. There is no improvement as
yet in the price of tin plates, but an advance is pretty cer-
tain before long. Nickel and bismuth remain unaltered;
the latter has been particularly dull, but there is no reason
to apprehend a reduction in the price, to any extent. We
learn that the colliers of South Staffordshire are again
about to turn out for another advance of wages. The
thick colliers now receive 4s Gd, and the thin coal men
3s 6d per day, and they are about to demand a rise of Gd
per day. This advance is equivalent to an addition of 5s
a ton in the manufacture of iron.— Worcester Journal.
