BUYING IN STEEL
IMPROVES IN WEEK
Exchange Fluctuations Hurt Cop
per Outlook-Review of
Other Metals.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January IA fair de-
mand for steel was noted this week
and the predicted buying movement
appeared to be getting under way, al
though the market was still spotted.
The trade anticipated a good demand
for structural materials, plates and
railroad equipment, and producers
were believed in a position to main
tain prevailing price levels. slight
ly better demand appeared for pig
iron, and evidences of increased pro-
duction We're taken to mean that pro-
ducers were confident of favorable
future developments.
Copper was easier. Export interest
was checked by fluctuations in eX-
change. and at recent exchange rates
1t was said copper was available in
Europe at prices below parity with
American markets. This increased
conservatism of buyers for American
consumption, and while it was be-
lieved considerable copper would have
TO be purchased to cover March and
second quarter requirements, very lit
tie demand was reported during the
week. This resulted in further price
shading.
Tin crossed the Ascent level for
straits, with operators and dealers
good buyers. although consumers still
bought sparingly.
Lead was firmer through like offer
ings of prompt and d generally good
trade outlook.
Zinc showed firmness on better
consuming demand. with dealers bid
ding for future shipment. Most pro-
ducers have sold considerable of their
.
sales.
Anthony was steady. with offer
ings light, and a fair demand from
consumers for afioat lots.
