IRON REVIEW

New York May - The character OF
buying in the steel market this week
indicates that consumers are not over
confident Of the stability of present
values ana are not anticipating future
needs The volume of business Is only
moderate and very spotted. Fears OF
further price establishments discourage
buying ahead while on the whole. the
trade is not convinced that economic
and industrial conditions justify hopes
OF immediate improvement.
Pig iron moves slowly and In absence
Of demand the market is easy with
more or less rcSclling 1T concessions.
Copper has been trmer on an in
creased demand and prospects for
strengthening statistical position.
Export interest has been decidedly
better promoted by higher exchange
rates and PREPARATIONS developments: IL
Is estimated that sales to Europe
through the Copper Export Association
since May l have exceeded SIX million
pounds. Sales of at least two millions
are said to have been made to Japan
in the past ten days. with additional
orders pending. There has also been
some business with China. Recent
small offerings below l2& cents nave
been absorbed and the market seems
we'll established on the II cent basis
for May and June.
Lead was firm and broadening de-
mand, with the bullish statistical posi-
ton. carried prices higher.
Tin was also frmer. but more in sym

Zinc has been steady. with no selling

Consumers, however. are we'll supplied
