The market may go easier belore interest revives. The position is very sensitive, but the Tooley Street merchants expect a gradual easing in prices rather than an appreciable break. The total arrivals in May were 41,016 tons, compared with -k> ; 6so tons last year. The stocks to June 5 increased by 3.275 tons compared with the previous month. They now total 19,635 tons.
