paint and mixture of tin and lead are
worn off. The nigh price OF steel has
caused an advance in sheets, which,
together with the advanced price of
tin, and the probable raise in wages of
labor, skilled and unskilled, does not
indicate that roofing plates will be
lowered in price.
In some European countries and
along the seacoast where the sea air
destroys terne plates rapidly, zinc
plates have been used for many years
and their lasting qualities sre said to
compare favOrably with slate. 1t
might be argued that if such a change
were contem plated it would have been
made when Welsh manufacturers sup
piled the United States trade and
plates were selling at So per box. The
production of zinc had not been de-
veloped at that time to allow of su fiji
cient supply for such trade, but to-
day when new mines are being opened
and smelters being built, it will soon
become question SIS to where to dis
pose of the surplus zinc which is not
used in the manufacture of spelter for
galvanizing purposes. The price that
zinc can be DrOduced at ia in favor of
the project, as sheet of the 80 gauge
zinc will outlast many sheets of terne
plates of 26 gauge.
With the rapid advancement of
enameled ware for kitchen utensils,
the increase in the manufacture and
sale of aluminium and nickel alloy
pans, pots and kettles, which are
gradually taking the place of tinware
in the homes of the people, the can
ming trade alone is left unassailed by
competitive metals to the tinplate
trade
