F|RMNESS SHOWN
IN METAL MARKET
Steel Is Irregular, With In
/ creases in Tin, Lead
!, and Zinc.

B. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 12.-Inquiry
kor steel was irregular this week. Some
what better demand from the auto
mobile industry, increases in tin plate
production and release of old rail
orders were offset by restricted buying
from miscellaneous users and continued
light structural awards.
Ingot production was estimated as
Slightly less than the 20 per cent rate
prevailing a week previous. The third
moderate monthly increase in untitled
tonnage of the United States Steel
Corporation during october was re-
ported. Prices showed no change. De-
Tnand for pig iron was quiet at un-
changed levels.
= Copper Rallies.
Copper rallied a cent from the
recent lows in sympathy with flrrneSs
bf foreign markets where consumers
are quietly but steadily taking fair
volume of metal at premiums OF Il
cent or more over domestic quotations.
Electrolytic for delivery in the Connec-
$icut Valley to the end OF the year was
quoted at 53s, but fabricators con-
tlnued to hold of. However, inquiry
for delivery in the first quarter OF 1883
was said to be improving.
Tin was higher. rejecting frInness
of sellers views owing to advances at
London and IN securities market here.
Although consumers we're generally
locking en-, reports of increasing tin
plate production encouraged importers
to hold.
Lead Advances.
Lead advanced as consumer buying
Interest broadened to include most
branches using this metal, including
paint. battery and cable manufacturers,
for November and December require
mentS. Buying was said to be in ex-
cess Of daily smelter output.
Demand for zinc increased toward
the close of the week at advancing
prices. Firmness of other metals was
said to have stimulated buying, which
was principally for immediate delivery
and claimed to reflect small stocks in
consumers hands.
Antimo7y quotations were revised
upward in sympathy with the Chinese
market, but demand was limited to
occasional jobbing lots.

India Growing Own Wheat.

Only wheat grown at home is being
used in India, and none of the cereal
has been imported since August, 1881.
Government officials believe that do
mestic growers will supply the needs of
the country for some time. Only 232,-
034 tons of wheat were imported in the
1930-31 year, and a raise in import
duties, prompted by a desire to secure
the entire Indian market for Indian
growers, caused a complete cessation
of imports.

Little Theater Planning a
 Gilbert & Sullivan Opera for December

S Miss Schoeni and the Play Read- ing Committee of the Little Thea ire have announced that the De- cember production will be one of the operattas of Gilbert & Sullt- van. People have been clamoring for years for the Little Theatre to do something musical In general and Gilbert 6 Sullivan in partic- suiar and so this is the answer to that appeal. Christmas time seems good season of the year to do something festive and gay. Also it was hoped that young people home from school and college would be able to enjoy 1t and that the dates would still be early enough so that the teachers in the high-schools here would be able to see H before they leave for their holidays. Casting will begin next week and anyone interested Is re- quested to get In touch with Miss Schoeni at once. She may be found at the Little Theatre Office, 24 Central Avenue, Telephone 4-1006.

MT Tafi attended the play here in Water bury and rumor has 1t that he was
 so impressed by the production that he wished to have the boys see 1t. particularly as the cast has a Taft master and the wife of 3 Taft master. The Little Theatre points with pride to this tangible evidence of recognition and sug- gests that those in Waterbury who were 50 unfortunate as to miss the performances here, go out to Water town on the evening of the 9th and see 1t there.

Man Hit By Auto on Homer Street--Has Become

T .s . lie . | The practice of many motor car drivers of making Speedway of l Homer street from Waterville street to Chase avenue has finally resulted in an accident which might as we'll have proven seri- ous, if not fatal. On "Wednesday evening shortly before 6 o'clock as | A. F.. 'Detweifer, of 30 Wheeler street, had alfghted from a Wa teryille bound trolley car at the corner. of Homer and Dwight streets. he was struck and hurled to the pavement by an autOmo- bile operated by Christopher Lal- ley.

 Due to the fact that the trolley tracks skirt the south side of Hom- CT street at that point, passersby on Waterville bound cars must dlight on the travelled portion of the highway, and cross the entire street to reach the sidewalk. This means that they must watch traf- fic proceeding in both directions.

 Drivers take advantage of the fact that the city canont find 1t possible at this time to provide adequate police supervision ut this point since 1t Is far more lm- portant to- regulate conditions on rhonuston avenue, the main trunk hi:sssway. It might be advisable, however, for the motor patrol to yislt tho area occasionally and to make an arrest or two when cir cumstances warrant. This might have n tendency toward cnrbing the present unsafe conditions.
