thing about the rise in price is that it has
been brought about in face of smaller ex-
port trade, not only for last month, but for
the nine completed months of the year,
while there are no indications of any in
crease in consumption in the near future
In others words, the rise is the result OF
market manipulation, and as the rise is hav-
ing the effect of bringing old works into
operation again, it appears fairly safe to say
that we shall see lower prices for tin in the
reasonably near future. Mr.. s. j.. Burrell

is necessarily based, has advanced from SOS.
on March 81 last to 56s at date, and that
foreign tin has appreciated from f65 to
$50 los. in the same interval, it must be
admitted that tinplate makers are fairly en-
titled to raise their rates. This advance is,
