The strike at Morriston still continues, and the men, goaded on by their leaders, are shewing a very vindictive feeling, which is likely to prolong the strike for an indefinite time. There was a conlElnllS of opinion amongst makers on 'Change that the men were unreasonable, and the grounds insufficient to prolong the contention, while, if Mr, Williams had not proved he was paying the current rate of wages, at any rate, the men have his assuranae that he is prepared to do so, which will en- tirely remove the cause of the strike. PIG IRON.—The price of Scotch pigs has gradually advanced, aud shews an increase of 6d. per ton over that of last week, while Middlesbro' and hematite shows nearly Is. per ton ad- vance with a firm market. The prices of tin-plates were quoted at au advance of 3d. per box, and in some cases 6d. per box for special brands and odd sizes, and makers are firm in their quotations. The advance in steel bars last week of 5s. per ton, with a probability of a further advance of 5s. between this and the quarter day, stimulate makers to hold out for higher prices, and are indifferent to book any forward contracts.
