METAL AIARKET.

New York, Dec. 8.-The feeling in spell
ter continues very firm, but tin has shown
pronounced weakness and great irregu-
larity throughout the day The former
was due to good demand and scarcity of
spot supplies, the latter to neglect and
increased offerings. Lead displayed fair
strength, not much animation. At the
close the metal exchange called pig iron
warrants neglected; lake copper dull and
nominal at $17G17. %; tin weak, 81; lead
steady, at 81. 70l14. 75; spelter firm at 81. 80
ass. The brokers' price for lead is 81. 40
and for copper $17G17. %.
