LITTLE EXPANSION
|NSTEEL MARKET

NEW YORK. January 15.-The steel
market shows little or no expansion.
| Occasionally fair-sized orders are
placed, but on the whole the extent
Steel corporation orders dropped
$4,000 tons in December. although
| they are now running about 80 per
cent of capacity on old orders, In
dependent mills are running very
light. Buyers are awaiting more
general business improvement. and
show a lack OF confidence in pres
! ent prices, partly Influenced by signs
of increased foreign competition. Pig
iron is dull and weak. No improve
ment is shown in demand, while fur
naces are anxious for business and
offers continue to be made through
second hands.
Better Business In Copper.
Copper is decidedly firmer. with a
better business for home consumption.
based on a more optimistic view of
business conditions. An advance in
foreign exchange rates has been ac-
companied by reports OF increased
export sales. 1t is estimated that
over 2o.000,0o0 pounds have been sold
since January 1. mostly to England;
France and Germany. at around -
cents at shipside. Rumors are cur
rent that dealers are short consider
able metal here, and the improvement
is said to have brought out offerings
of lake copper by producers who have
been out of the market for some
time. The December output is placed
at around 95,000.Oo0 pounds, with
home MEETINGS estimated at 70,000,000
pounds.
Review of Other Metals.
Lead has reflected an improved de-
mand. with dealers asking as high
as 5K cents. or y cent above the
quotations maintained by big pro-
ducerS.
Tin is in poor demand. Future ship
ments are held higher on account of
the strength in Straits. but the vio-
lent changes in sterling have had an
unsettling influence.
Zinc slightly flrmer on speculative
buying, although consuming demand
remains slow.
Anthony was more active for fu-.
ture delivery. but dull on the spot,
the undertone bei4I steady.
