METALS-New York, April 1.-THE
metal market on the whole showed up in
somewhat better shape today. Tin in
local circles rose about % points, in sym
pathy with the advance for that metal
in London, said to be the result Of
American speculative dealings, despite
the fact that the statistical outlook re-
mains beariSh. The close here was firm

ing prices were Sly Us Cd on spot and
els IS for futures. A fair business was
done in both markets. Copper in Lon
don declined 15S and experienced q weak
undertone, with spot closing at a70 IS Sd
and futures SO los. Here, however, the
market was more or less nominal at I'M
changed prices. Exports Of copper are
extremely small, amounting for the first
half Of April to only 1850 tons, against
a total of Il, IT'S tons for April a year
ago. This factor was attributed to a lack
Of European demand, where consumption
has fallen OFF materially. A little steadier
feeling prevailed in spelter, owing to
light inquiry, and prices at the close were
272 points higher than yesterday, with the
tone firm. A rise of Is I'd abroad to e16
5s helped the steadiness. Lead remains
inactive and unchanged, at $4.375a. Do
nestle iron markets ruled quiet, but
about steady, at unchanged prices.
