METAL.

New York, February 15.-Although
tin eased off somewhat to-day, the gen
eral market shows no signs of a reac-
tionary movement of consequence. This
is due largely to continued demand
from consumers together with encour-
aging adyices from abroad and pri-
mary points. Spelter displayed the
greater amount of strength in the local
market. At the close the Metal Ex-
change called pig iron warrants firm

strong at 1925. The brokers' price for
lead is $4.20 and for copper $3.50.

years prior to that time was

his death he was located at a point
