Show lite L.ad AtarKet, l'rices for lead have been me ting a gradual advance for a week, with a very encouraging outlook for a still better market. Eastern reports say that buyers are anxious to close at present pres-ent quotations for future delivery, but refiners are very reluctant to sell more than small quantities, nnd those for cash, except at considerably higher figures fig-ures than those which now prevail. The firm condition of the lead market has greatly stimulated mining in all the districts of the west which produce that class of ore. |
