FOR TIN
ARE RAISED

It was decided at q meeting Of
the international Tin Committee
that the tin quotas Of the four
signatory countries should be In
creased 10 per cent beginning
April for a period Of six
months. This is equivalent to an
increase in production Of $3.50
long tons Of tin in the six
months.
Referring to statements which
have been widely published to
the effect that the buffer stock
of tin proposed by the committee
would be built up from normal
production quotas, the committee
stated that the tin required for
any buffer stock would be pro
vided entirely from a special
quota which would be in addition

NEW YORK, May 4 UN.s0.
That down-in-+he-mouth feeling
still has Wall Street in It's grip,
and there was no change in the
picture yesterday. The market
muddled around, rallied about an
inch or so at times, and wound
up sort Of weakish. Stocks should
have a good technical rebound
before long.
A hopeful sign is that the
boardroom boys are looking
around for short sales.
Their record comes close to
being 100 per cent wrong. The
big wet blanket is still the regu-
lation bill, and as 1t gets nearer
q final vote in the House. the
boys get chillS and fever. It
would not be surprising to see
this change when the Senate gets
the measure.
