TIN TRADE STIRRED
BY HINTS OF RIFT
Future of Cartel Is Said to
Have Been CIouded by
Quota Differences.
By the Associated Press.

OS hLC AooOSAhICO ELCoo.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Hints of a
disagreement which may bar extension
of the international tin cartel pro-
duction control pact have been stir
ring a wide interest in tin consumer
and dealer circles, according to metal
authorities.
The future of the cartel, which had
been praised by metal economists here
and abroad as one of the most sue
cessful mediums of self-regulation, is
said to have been clouded by quota
differences between producers of Siam
and other signatories to the contract.
The latest word from abroad is that
EARNEST efforts are being made to settle
the dispute so that the cartel can be
exended following expiration of the
present three-year agreement at the
end OF this year. Slams request for
an increased quota is expected to be
further reviewed at a meeting of
cartel representatives on June Is in
Paris.
In the period of debate between the
two contending factions in the cartel
tin prices have been showing marked
weakness in world markets. Down
nearly cents a pound in a fortnight
the New York quotation last week
reached 42l4 cents a pound, the lowest
in three years. In 1884 the COM
modify was quoted as high as 56ss
cents.
The United States has a keen in
terest in the status of the cartel be-
cause it is the largest consumer of tin.
1t has no production of its own. The
largest users here are tin plate manu-
facturers and the automobile industry.
Approximately 80 per cent of the
worlds tin supply is produced in these
countries: British Malay States. 36
per cent; Bolivia, "a per cent; Dutch
East Indies, l8 per cent; Siam s per
cent; Nigeria, per cent.

RENEWED FLIGHT
. Of GOLD FORESEEN
Franc Again Drops Below
Export Point-Large
Shipments Likely.
By tho Associated Press.

oS tAt ASSoSldLcu FTeS6.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Sentiment
in the Wall Street districts today ia
vored the likelihood of deValuation
Of the French franc within the inter-
mediate future as quotations for the
French unit again dropped below the
gold export point.
international bankers anticipated
further engagement of French. Hol-
land and Swiss gold for shipment to
this country as the gold bloc curren-
cies reacted to levels at which ship
ments of the yellow metal are profit
able.
Fairly large-scale renewal of the
flight Of capital from France to Eng
land was witnessed as foreign ex-
change dealers reported active trad
ing. with Paris selling francs and buy
ing the pound sterling. Such opera
tions resulted in reflex rise of IA
cents here IN the pound sterling to
$501A.
There was an accompanying drop
in the franc to $685. cents, of O.0l5s
Of a cent from Mondays closing.
Pressure on the franc was again
developing in the futures market and
the discount for 90-day deliveries of
the franc spread oo5 of a cent to o.5s
of a cent compared with 0.53 yes
terday.
Belief persists here that the increase
IN French production costs, variousIy
estimated by banking quarters at be-
tween IL and Is per cent, growing out
of concessions granted French labor
ers makes ultimate devaluation of the
franc all the more certain. Some OBJ
servers anticipate a governmental ban
on the export of French gold and
capital.
Dutch guilders and Swiss francs
moved lower with the French unit, the
former losing OILS of a cent to 67.57
cents and the Swiss currency dropping
008 of a cent to 1924 cents. Amster-
dam cables to Wall Street sources re-
vealed that the Bank of the Neither
lands had lost more than $4,000, 900
gold in the latest week.

Steel Scrap Prices
Break ST Per Ton
AS Supplies Mount
nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. June 9.-Steel scrap
prices at Pittsburgh late yesterday
broke a dollar a ton to $13-$l3.50 on
small sales as overhanging supplies
of the metal caused a withdrawal of
bids, trade circles here reported today.
Replacement of flood-damaged
equipment and the rehabilitation pro-
grams Of several important Eastern
railroads have brought huge quanti-
ties Of scrap to the market during
the last month, it was said.
This steadily growing backlog has
come at a time when scrap dealers
fear the recent price increase in steel
may curtail production.
Foreign shipments are reported to
have approximated 100000 tons in
April and are expected by dealers to
hold at this high level for most Of
the Summer.

 Concern Leads State

The Chase Companies, Inc, of Waterbury today ail- nounced a five per cent in crease in pay for all day and piece workers effective this Friday. Coming directly after the adoption of an eight-hour day and 40-hour week by the concern last Fri day, the concern takes the lead in the local industrial field as far as concessions are concerned.
 The action of the Chase com- panies, which involves the employees in the rolling mills, the metal works and the Waterbury Manufacturing company, is considered one of the more forward steps in the movement to restore workers to their pre-de- precision status recorded locally so far.
