Metal Quotations
in Eastern Markets


Silver is showing greater signs of
strength but is still erratic, quotations
being apparently manipulated through
the London market.
Lead declined during the week along
with the other metals. The American.
Smelling and Refining Company is still
holding its price at $s.25. Other buyers
are. however, offering less.
Copper is also showing decided weak.
ness. being more affected by the up
heaval In Germany than the other met
ais. However. but little copper has
been purchased lately for German ac-
count as the political trouble in that
country was anticipated.
| Zinc has been declining during the
week and business Is dull owing to the
fact that the larger producers are not
generally willing to accept current Of
fers.

ranging from $S to $3.50 per ton for
imported Chinese ores
There has been q decided reaction In
the price Of platinum from recent
high Of $155 an ounce to around 3$13t
