New York, March 9-(UP)-- Metal prices rose sharply here and abroad to-day as the prospect of commodity price imitation started a lively demand.
 Copper at New York jumped h cent a pound to 51 cents for early delivery, a new high for the year. Producers were reported unwilling to sell until a clearer. banking sit- uatloD develops.
 The Revere Copper & Brass, Inc, was the first leading producer to post the new price of 51s cents q pound for copper products to- day. Other companies were ex- pect to fall into line rapidly.
 Lead and zinc prices were marked up sharply by leading producers yesterday. The St Jo. seph Lead company took the initi- ative in posting the price of pig lead at $5 ton, quoting 3.25 cents pound, New York, and az centb, East St Louis.
 This was the first price change since last November and the American Smelting & Refining company and other leading pro- ducers immediately followed suit. Zinc prices were advanced $1 to $2 ton, being quoted at 2.S0 to 2.S5 cents pound, East St Louis.
 A sudden influx of orders in the lead and zinc markets this week was ascribed by metal men to a previous expectancy that prices would be reduced; when prospects of advances appeared, the rush to buy developed.
 Meanwhile. metal prices contin- ued their upward trend abroad. Spot copper at London was quoted at 28 pounds, 10 shillings ton, up ' shillings, six pence. Tin, lead and zinc on the London metal ex- change were marked up corre- spondingly.
 Silver metal at London touched a new high for the year to-day at IS 7-16 pence fine ounce, a rise of 7-16 penny from yesterdays close. The price was equal in American money to about 30M cents an ounce, also a new high for the year.
 Copper consumers in this coun- try were reported keeping in close touch with the market because of the prevailing uncertainty over fu- ture trends. Producers were swamped by telephone and tele. graph messages for an indication of imitation possibilities. To-day's advance in price of copper was the first in several months, copper having held steady around cents since the breakup of the conference of world pro. ducers who tried vain1y to arrive at an equitable program of re- stricting production.
 The National Metal Exchange. local trading center for copper and other metal futures, remained closed, with no indication of when 1t will reopen.
