ard copper for nearby delivery at
home as well as abroad. Domestic con-
sumers In need OF nearby metal were
able To obtain supplies AT concessions
from prices previously asked. but there
was sight change in prices current for

the buying was for Junc delivery at

deliveries were offered at 26 TO 26iac..

NO Btg Decline Expecte0'
American electrolytic Upper at London
receded Fl los. on spot. while standard
copper broke Is los. on spo and tt on
futures. \ more ample supply OF cleo
trolytic has occurred hroug the re
timing Of standard. the relative prices
between the two making the conversion
process highly profitable. The nuctua-
lions in prices of standard, however.
have small influence upon producers
here, and while some further tempo
rary reaction in prices may develop
producing interests are too well sold
Ear into the future TO permit any en-
traordinary decline for months TO come.
Tin developed considerable strength
late in the week. with an active demand
FOR nearby deliveries and increased in
terest In future shipments from the
straits. The difficulty Of securing sup
plies from London for delivery on Feb
ruary contracts caused buyers to come
into the market for early deliveries. re-
sul'ing IN a sharp advance in prices.
Sales of spot tin were mad" At the close
OF tho week at tic. to 45c.. this being
an advance Of from 20. to &c. per III.
There was also more interest in April.
MAY aud June mt i3i.c. for April. i3c.
FOR May. and a2isc. for juno, being AN
advance Of iTs". to 2isc. per In.
The principal feature of interest was
the purchase of zoo tons OF straits I'm
and 300 tons of Chinese tin by the
United states Government for the Navy
Department. The purchase was made
by the london Embassy OF the United
States Government from a London firm
at 1883 (. o. $. Singapore. shipments
are TO be made in March and April. The
metal will be brought to this country by
Government GOLFERS on their return trips
from the Philippines. This method OF
transportation will save the United
States Government about sli per ton in
freight. insurance M war risks.
II is Interesting To note that since the
purchase tho Singapore market has ad-
vanced - to Is. Late In the week. sales
or % to so ton lots were made at 4li3c.
New York for sixty days shipment from
the Straits by the Capes. The result or
the fluctuations in the London market was
IN advance OF IS on spot straits tin. "a
OH spot and - los. on future standard.
More interest is being shown here In tho
smelling and refining OF Bolivian tin by
the American Smelling and Refining
Company. 1t IL expected ohat this metal

ed from the Socialist party in the
Reichstag.
