TRADE REPORTS. CRISIS IN THE TIN-PLATE TRADE. MEETING OF DELEGATES AT CARDIFF. AGITATION FOR INCREASED WAGES. A verv repre!1enffitive and influential meeting oÎ delegates connectert chiefly with the tin trade in Monmouthshire WitS held at the Black Lion Hotel, Cardiff, on Saturday afternoon, to consider tho present deplorable outlook. Strenuous efforts had been made to et. a delegate from each works in the trade to attend, but, to n. certain extont, they proved futile. There were,however, about, 70 present. Great dissatisfaction was expressed that the different works in thp west were not represented, 50 that united action llJÍht be uiken to resist, tho present redl1ctlOl:. The feeling of the mooting WI13 that if all tha man in the tmde wcre !Uur¡;- united than they tiro at present, and adopted a set of rules to restrict tlw output, the status of the trade would be considerably raised, and the market improved. The delegates who had been sent around the diffe. rent works to inquire the conditions under which they were working having given their reports, it was resolved that the works which are at present working at the reduction shr)Uld continue to do 80 until the (lnd of the vcar, and after then stand out for the standard price. Some of the delegates who wero un:1ble to reach Cardiff ,in time for the meeting sont in written reports, which were read. It was after- wards resolved that the works in Monmouthshire should resist the reduction, and that those works wùich are at present receiviD the staudard price shouldue asked to contribute towards the support of the men who will In consequence be thrown out of work. The CMO of tiw two men who had been dismissed at Pjntymail Works in consequence of their having taken a prominent part in the agita. tion to rcsist the concession, was afterwards con- sidered, and It was resolved to contriuute towards their support uutil such time as they got employ- mont. GOOD NEWS FOR TREFOliEST. Orders have beun given to place the Treforest Steel and Iron Works in au immediate :st:.J.te of repair, with view to re-start operations. The works have beel] long idle. Hepàiring will be entered upon to-ÙI\y (Mouda.y). It is stated that tllcre is every prospect that the iron and steel trades oi South Wales are about to oxpcrience a powerful revival.

U]!;l'01:l'jw.j This strike has uow existed for tifteeH weeks, alJd. it is to be regretted, docs not Lear any sign of coming nearer to a termination than at the eoimusnefctr.^ut. The men ou trike. it appears, are It.I; determined to stand out against the present terms offered. J.ieputa- tions tWIH tiie work turn have repeatedly watted Uj):J1l Mr. cilotis ithe proprietor), allll loug i¡¡V:rview,: IHn been obtained, but to ill) ueHciici" t 1>1' s'itisfacto1",y result.

A f.1jr amount of suppoi t is otill given tu llie mell uU strike by working people and tradesmen ill tJw surrounding neighbourhood. The rumour- which has been a/loat tuaL sOllie "t tlw wcn have started working at tile above colliery is withouL any 1011 I1d at.iOIl but \Ye have bC1I given lo llllucrstôllld that, £ "iue little cQalll:Ls been raised at this colliery, aud a lew strange men employed ull Wages ÜI cut coal. The stoppage of tl1i:¡ colliery has now UCCII proved to make matters very gloomy around tlw immediate neighbourhood, aud :!ùmcthill; tUII"ll".h coming lo a settlement is very desi- rable and needful. The masters are also, llllduuùLcdly. experiencing much loss by this strike, alld tlw state d tbe workings underground anJ HOt, expected to bd ill a very goud eOllditioll after slIch a long term of idleness. It is to lo greatly desired, fur the sake uf the colliers in particular, and the welfare of all. that the masters 1I1ay see tbmjdTS olear to cOllceue to arbitration, and of, as CllY state, thre is nothing to artJitmte UpOll, the easier it seems a 1inal arrangement could ue arrived at.

There arB many 0t t he more optimist merchants at tile Docks whobelieve that, the 11 uctllations which take "lace weekly ill the iJiplllClIl indicate a moving market, and think that l'y Iwxt January the de- mand tor Welsh coals wili be greater than enr. On the other haud, it is CüutellueJ that, liS tuc for the pas! year have fallen 400,000 tons below those of the previous tWI;>e months, t hero b every reason lo believe that tile maximum demand has now been reached as far aJ this district is concerned, and that the only remedy is t,) keep the output strictly wiLhill the existing dem<tud. There cannot ue the slilltet doubt thaI, fur many months ntiiJlyof nur colliery proprietors have 1101, beeudearing their working expenses, aud with the only prospect oi a reviyal in the tlistallt future those who do 110t curtail thdr upcratiolls will very likely before lung have tu cluse altogether. If half the IUlJlOUrg current at tite Docks have any foundation ill fiter. more than one important colliery undertaking is 011 tho; verge uf pecuniary disaster. With legaru to the small steam coal traùe, matters are far worse than ¡ l1t'Y were last week. This cOlllltlOdity during the past few Jays ha. beell a drug in the market, and that fur whICh 55 aud 5s 6d was reaùily tendered a few weeks ago now tilld very tew buyers at 4i 3d. The statement ill sOlne of the trade papers t,hat small co,1 is ill guod demand at 6s ÎSa mistake. It has not 11eell sv slack fur months. This unsatisfactory state of affairs i. <1ol1btles, of a temporary nature, aud with a revival ill the patent fuel traJc 01' tJH; arrival of toll!1:lge. which during (he week has lo eell very scarce, the trade will in all pwbaùility return to it normal condition.

Tonnage ha been very scarce, but order are very plentiful. SWANSEA, S,tlJrJa.v Night. -There l1asbeell a substan- tial increase in the import (Ia,le ill the past as compared with the previous week.
