weekly. only 2.7l2 tons less than May /,
while nnsold Stoke have decreased 28425
tons in spite of some increase at the South.
Southern No. is sold at S14.25 here. Some
lehIgh companies are cutting prices.
Sales are large, the demand for structural
sheet and plate-iron is improving. and
even In rails the Western mills find
O somewhat better demand. The de-
mand for steel beams is stimulated by
the low prices, gao being quoted. No i'm
provement Is seen in copper at l2c; London
speculation has hoisted tin to go, but lead
is weaker at Ale. There Is talk of q fur

curing more revenue. Trade 10 fairly act
