METAL MARKET.

WILL PRICES GO HIGHER!

A correspondent - writes 39 follows:

I have read with a great deal; of interes; the article under the heading "Current Coin" by your correspondent “Mərcator” which appeared in your paper on Tues- day last in which he comments jupon the bansful effects the pre- Įsent Japanese financial crisis is exercising on our metal and yarn markets. I do not know much jabont the yarn market, but as far as the metal marke: isconcerned.

do

think that this

is quite true. There is no denying the fact that prices an All metals have been affected as a consequence of this crisis, but ertainly not to the extent your. correspondent seems to imagine.

Following the signing of the Armistice, prices on all metals! dropped from 69 to 100 per cent. with the result that the merchants, suffered very seriously. They were therefore very cautious in plaring forward orders with possibility of a futher drop in price. In fact, the only orders placed were

thass for con- the

urgent needs, and In sequence, stocks in market became low and the market itself very uncertain. Then came the labour unrest in America as well as the United Kingdam, with the result--- that shipments became uncertain and prices began to advance and con- tinued so until they reached the level of 1917-18 prices. This is specially true for wite products. light gauge steel sheet and sinall size bars. Merchants then began

buy steadily as in pre-war times some of them even order- ing a little more than necessary for the general industrial requirements.

After the Chinese New Year, dealers from the interior began to buy in quite large quantities for their requirements. Several of the local Japanese firm were also buying heavily, causing the market to advance by leaps and Ngands till the present Japanese financial crisis came on.

Japan now, instead of being a buyer. has become a seller, and is offering back to this market the Įsame goods which she purchased

months ago.
