METAL MARKET-NeW York Ian
Trading in the metal market today was
on conservative lines and confined chiefly
TO meeting the immediate wants of cen
sumers, and even this business was on a
very small scale. The only variation in
the general list was shown in the n
prices, falling off about 5000 points, as
the result Of large arrivals and in SYM
pathy with the weakness abroad The
close here was easy in tone $26. 70026 S715
At London spot tin was Is Sd lower at
I20E los, closing weak at the decline The
rest OF the list was without important
change as to price or feature Copper
dull at 17c for Lake Superior and 165kc for
casting and electrolytic, while at London
an easier market prevailed closing easv
at G12 IS Sd Lead and spelter both ruled
DUH and featureIeSS. English iron mar
i1ets were shade firmer, owing to an
increased inquiry, and closed at SIS at
Glasgow and 4912s at Middleboro while
domestic iron markets were entirely des-
tttute of any new feature and without
quotabfe change.
