METAL MARKET REVIEW.


Under date of June - Mathews &
Cos metal market review reaches the
New MEXICAN to-day and bears a pleasant
aspect;
Copper presents rather favorable as
pect ut London, with the natural conse-
quenres oil0wprice5 showing themselves
IN largely increased consumption, so the
stocks for the month have declined 1000
tons, and the situation is healthy in all
respects. but the lake companies, with
certain pride and independence of power,
believe that action on paper will smother
the laws OF trade, consequently they are
now holding the umbrella over all the out
side brands with great lirmness and care.
No lake can be had below II cents.
This Is positive and final for the time be-
ing. At London prices have steadily adj
vanced and Chill bars are reported by
cable at E42 with best selected at GAG.
Lead has at last felt in good earnest a
reaction from the long period of low
prices. The full import OF Secretary Win
dOm's decision in worstedS began to be
appreciated all through the country, for
the advocates OF a reversal of the ore rul-

Worated men had. Consequently sales
have been very large and reach fully 800
tons, being about half at New York, and
the balance at the western cities and for
delivery in June and July Prices adj
yancet to cents at New York with
liberal sales at that figure, while Chicago
ran up very close to the same price and at
1t. Louis touched 800. A very important
feature Of the weeks news was the absorp-
tlon into the National Lead trust all the
Collier and the Southern White Lead COM
panies, which now about completes the
entire list. 1t is an open secret that the
Standard Oil Co., Of New York, are large
holders OF this stock, and the dealings in
trust certificates are very heavy.
Washington adyices state that Secretary
WINDOW IS now carefully going over all
the silver ore testimony and will probably
render some decision before the 1st of |
July. Meanwhile lead is strong on healthy
and legitimate grounds, and no Sc
rlous setback need be feared.
