tin A good business has been done during the past few 



weeks prices advancing fully £15 per ton brought about 

 entirely by artificial manipulation. Taking into 

 consideration the position of supply to demand the 

 price should not be above £110 to £120 per ton. 



In the early part of July the price dropped within a 

 few pounds of this limit so that with Straits cash 

 £137.10.0 to £137.15.0 and three months at £138.15, 

 to 138.17.6 there is every inducement for Miners to 

 push forward their production and sell, for we should 

 not be at all surprised to see values at a lower parity.
