New York Price Up.

NEW YORK, Dec. II (P.-The
price of tin advanced 1.35 cents a
pound today to 50 cents as traders
watched excited bidding in London
where the metal jumped to SIS cents.
Market observers said they ex-
pected period of price uncertainty
to follow the lifting Saturday Of
price control in London by the
British government.
AS the price of tin for future
delivery advanced, however, local
cash, or spot, market prices de-
clined slightly. Dealers said there
was a plentiful supply on the spot
market.
This fact, late in the trading
session, caused a decline in the fu-
lures prices from their peak.
