amounted to 1,400 tons during the week: shipments thence up to the 13th inst. were 3,890 tons, and for the month are still estimated at 9,000 tons. Straits Tin has chang. ed hands at £1.10.0 premium over Standard, the premium on Banka remaining nominally at about £4. The position has undergone no material change, for supply and demand preserve very much the same ratio as hitherto, in conse quence of which the tendency is for stocks to further increase, con- dition which it would seem is re flected in the apparent surplus of cash and near tin which latterly has been offering freely, and in consequence of which the contango

has increased from 1.12.6 at the close of last week to £3.2.6. Mean- while, the market presents no very definite tendency and, pending fresh developments whereby the the course of consumption over next month er so may be more easily determined, fluctuations are likely to be confined within com- paratively narrow limits.

Realtys. After sales having been reported as low as 87.40 and 87.45, buyers have come forward at 871. with sellers holding out for higher rates.
