4 PER CENT

World tin production increased
by 22.2 per cent in 1886 to a total
of 171,888 tons against 140,652
tons in 1885 and is the highest
since 1929 when an output of 1885,
986 tons was recorded, according
to the February issue of the In
ternational Tin Research and De
velopment Councils Bulletin pub
lished by the Hague Statistical
Office.
The countries participating in
the control agreement produced
90.8 per cent of the worlds tin in
1886 against 88.9 per cent in 1885.
The output of tin in British Ma
laya increased by 45.4 per cent in
1886 to 66,806 tons and Malaya's s
share in world production in
creased from 1927 per cent in 1885
to 38.9 per cent in 1886.

there was an increase of over 81
per cent to 75,643 tons, this figure
representing 48 per cent of the

ing an increase of 28.4 per cent

creases were in Germany where

DISCUSS PLANS
F0RCONCLAVE'

Preliminary plans for the an
nual convention of the District of

meeting at the home Of Thomas

the group which will handle con-
vention arrangements since the

pointment Of A. M. McLachlen,
Of the McLachlen Banking Cor.
poration, as general convention
chairman.
Convention Program
Included in the group meeting
with Groom last night were sew
eral past presidents Of the asso-
citation and the present officers Of
the organization.
Main discussion centered upon
the convention program, which is
teh important feature Of the an.
nual gathering of Washington
bankers, although the usual COM
prehensive sports events during
the stay at the mountain resort
also were outlined, as were the
questions of transportation and
entertainment.
The convention will be the nine
teenth' held by the District of Co
lumbia Bankers Association, and
the yearly meetings have con-
tinually grown in size. Last year
more than 200 were in attendance.

TRADING PACE
FAIR AS CURB
GOES HIGHER

NEW YORK, Feb. Is d.N.S0.
Curb stocks worked generally
higher in morning trading today,
with the metals and a few of the
speciality issues taking a prominent
part in the advance.
Trading was at a fair pace and
there was little irregularity except
in the utility shares.
Fresh strength in world metal
prices was reflected in renewed
gains in the mining shares. Bunker
Hill Sullivan climbed 3 points to
100 and Evans Wallower Lead
preferred 11a points. Good frac-
tional gains we're established in
Utah Apex, Hecla Mining, Consoli-
dated Copper, and Eagle Picher
Lead.
Better gains in the miscellaneous
shares included Tubize Chatillon
A, Cooper Bessemer, Wayne Pump,
and Carrier Corporation, with
gains of a point or more. Pyrene
Manufacturing was up almost a
point at 1875 and General Tire
gained about as much.
A few soft spots developed.
Aluminium of America turned
down more than points and Sher-
win Williams more than a point.
The utilities we're relatively
quiet and little changed. Gains
of a half-point scored in Electric
Bond and Share initially were
erased. United Gas, Niagara Hud-
son Power, and Arkansas Natural
Gas A were showing minor frac-
tional gains. Cities Service pre-
ferred was up more than a point
and Illinois Power So preferred off
almost point.
Fractionally higher levels pre-
vailed in the bulk of the oil
shares,

IN STEEL
PRICES SEEN

A price advance affecting nearly
all steel products and probably
ranging from So to So q ton will
be announced by a leading pro-
ducer within a few days, accord
ing to the weekly Iron Age survey.
This may be followed by another
wage increase for steel mill labor,
the amount depending upon the
outcome of negotiations that will
soon be in progress, the report
said. There is also good authority
for the prediction that solution
of the controversy between Fed
eral Government authorities and
the steel companies over the
Walsh-Healey Government con-
tracts act may be found shortly,
it was pointed out.
Price advances have been ini-
tiated by producers of wire prod
ucts and pig iron. Nails and sta
Piles have been put up SIS a ton,
barbed wire 6, heavy fence wire
81, light fence wire So, and bale
ties 8, effective Immediately and

classification for wire rods has
been adopted whereby the base
sizes are No. S TO 9-32 inch at un-
changed prices, but on sizes over
9-32 inch. to 47-G4 inch. an extra
of 81 a ton will be charged, ac-
cording to the summary, which
added:
"a leading merchant furnace
interest announced an advance
of 81 a ton on pig iron, effective
at once, and other producers in
all important districts have
taken like action. Other raw ma
terials markets are strong and
advancing. Beehive furnace coke
is up rs cents a ton at COnneIIs-
vile to $4.25 and scrap is higher
in all markets. The Pittsburgh

ships have been so extensively
chartered for scrap exports and
for water shipments of steel to
the Pacific Coast that expert of
finished steel is delayed. Swe-
den. not hitherto a buyer Of
scrap in this market, is seeking
supplies here. The Japanese need
for scrap is illustrated by the
fact that in 1886 Japan import
