Tonnage Is Not as Large as Last Week's Sales Lead Is Active (Special to The Gazette.) New York, February 13. There was an active interest again reported in the local market for copper today but tonnage disposed of is not believed to have been as large as was sold on either Friday or Saturday.

In the meantime the price situation remained firm with no copper available in any source primarv custom smeltpr or outside market at less than ll'ic a pound delivered Connecticut Valley base. Buying of copper in the export market wa.s stated to be quite satisfactory by important trade quarters, with several neutral nations reported as seeking metal. Among these. Spain, Bulgaria, Rumania and Switzerland were prominently mentioned as seeking tonnages here. Sales for export account were recorded in primary producing sources at 11.5(1? a pound alongside shin New York for prompt metal while 11.

40c a pound was said to have been paid for March delivery. April was quoted at 11.25 to 11.30c and Mav at 11.20 to 11.25c. The additional 25.000 long tons sold to France at the close of last week at 1 1 Vic a pound calls for nearby shipment and some in the copper trade were inclined to the belief that with France at the moment already taking 25.000 tons per month from the foreign market an already rather tight spot and nearby supply situation may be accentuated. Buying of lead again was in excellent volume with both custom and producing sources reporting satisfactory business. In the producing end it was stated that the new week started with a waiting list and additional orders received today swelled this total.

Actual sales in this division were equal to about twice daily production quotas. It is now estimated that consumers of lead are about 75 per cent, covered on their February needs and around 40 per cent, on their March requirements. The price was firm at 5.00 to 5.05c a pound delivered New York and 4.85c East St. Loui" Zinc was quiet and steady at 5.50c a pound East St. Louis.

FRENCH SET WATCH OVER RED EMBASSY Guard Is Result of Soviet Association With Outlawed Communist Party Paris, February 13. (F) A special French police detachment began a watch over the Soviet Russian Embassy tonight, disregarding the conventional immunity which diplomatic representatives of one country enjoy in another. The Foreign Ministry said the watch had been set because of the embassy's connection with the outlawed Communist Party in France. Authorities riorlarprf thA nlar-ini of the guard at the embassy build- ing in tne Kue de urenelle was an action which was no more severe than regulations imposed by the Russians on the French Embassy in Moscow, where visitors sometimes are questioned, searched and even photographed. Observers noted that the French took action coincidentally with a closer drawing together of Germany and Russia, and a corresponding cooling of relations between Russia and France.

The Soviet Union protested last week against a police raid on the Soviet trade office here. France rejected the protest. Yesterday the Germans and Russians announced completion of a new trade agreement intended to swell the exchange of Russian raw products and German manufactured goods. French officials were inclined to see political as well as economic importance in the Russian-German pact. On the Western Front, despite Intense cold, a German mfuntry unit was reported by the French to have made an unsuccessful attempt against a section of the French frontier defences near Luxembourg, "East of the Moselle an enemy raid preceded by trench mortar and artillery fire failed completely," said the evening communique.

As additional war orders are placed the industrial areas affected report better commercial business nd a resultant absorption of some cf the in unemployment. In Montreal and vicinity aviation planti apparently have been benefitting.

As a result of recent ship-building order, steel and machine tool firms snoAins! more activity. Flour mills reported sales as lair and slightly under last month at t-us date. The weather has not been favorable tr this type of business. Moderate optimum prevails with uncertainty as to future prices. Gasoline and oil sales continue at a g-od level and improved over this t.me year.

A busy pnng is anticipated. Men's haberdashery sales were motty. Sales so far are below this date last month, with placing of orders being regarded as good. Sales of siisis. silk ribbons and the l.ke reported a general upward trend and much improved.

Placements are good. Steel, copper and piping sales were given a good rating. Sales lor January, 1940. were upwards of 50 per cent, above January. 1939.

The automobile industry reported sales as satisfactory and better than for the past few weeks. The dairy outlook and present activity is regarded as more hopeful. The establishment of military centres and gradual improvement in employment in some industrial areas has created a larger market for milk. Creamery butter production was roughly 5 per cent, higher than the January figure at this time last year: cheese production shows an increase of nearly 2 per cent, for the same period. Meat packers are busy.

Exports bacon continue at a good level. Wholesale groceries are buoyant. Sales of dry goods, footwear and paints all come within the fair category with placements good. Collections on outstanding ac counts showed ninety per cent, of the survey reporting them as fair, enly two per cent, reported as good. Renewals continued in an upward trend.

Wholesalers generally were tightening up on credits as many reported that merchants' inventories inclined to the heavy side. Imports of Antimony From Canada Increase (Special to The Gazette.)
