A firm undertone prevails in the market with the slightly increased prices sustained.
As far as is known about 7,000 cases were shipped away, local purchase price for spot being 5,000 cases at $10.35 and 2,000 cases at from $10.10 to $10.40. Buying commenced at the lowest figure named and ceased at the highest.

Chinese importers have also secured bookings for round steel Ears. One order, it is stated. was. for 100 tons at $4.08 and there was another at $3.90 but the quantity is not known.
PIG LEAD."
The market for pig lead is still firm,
Local quotations range between $19.70 and $19.80 for B.H.P. mark, which is highly favoured by dealers.
WIRE NAILS.
There is still a feeling of un- easiness in the wire maila market. No business has been done to speak of and quotations are only nominal. One dealer, who has large holdings is willing to sell at Under $6 for lots that cost him over $10. A broker, in conver- sation with a "China Mail" re- porter, remarked that nothing short of a miracle would put the nails market on its feet again.
