The OIL Market Continues Its Downward
Movement. With Little Doing.
The oil market was weak and dull yesterday
"a natural reaction from the excitement Of the
previous days of the week. There was nothing
to sustain it. and it sagged Of its own weight.
Free selling at the top of the boom was too
much for it. All the exchanges were in the
same boat very little being done at any of
them.
The feeling at the opening was bearish but
on light buying a fractional advance was scored.
Then followed slump to the lowest point of
the day where the market hung a long time
with nothing doing Toward the close it was
bid up and finished at a slight improvement.
Principal fluctuations were: Opening. 92s4;

days clearances we're 222 0O0 barrels Refined

have In stock. 80 that roplenishing will be

general strike restores peace and quietness to

The miners hereafter will likely be more con-
seryative, and local or general strikes will

General Manager Lynch, solely as an act Of

your correspondent the other day that the sup

NEW York, May 22.-The Iron age in its is-
sue to-day printed the following from London:
The chief feature of interest In the iron trade
has been the fall In prices OF Cleveland war.
rants as compared with others Business was
done Tuesday At 4O,. Sd. and to-day at 4Os. 81.
The decline was due to heavy selling OF war.
rants and sales from makers stores At reduced
prices Stocks in makers stores have thus
been reduced, and speculation is reyiying at
lower prices There is also interest in Scotch,
owing to the labor strikes in PlbAo and antici-
patton Of n reduction in the output of iron in
Scotland. There were sales yesterday at AS.
Cd, and to-day at AS 3d. Hematites have
ranged between 53s 4d.@5is. the past two days,
and show little change Tor the week. Makers
prices are again lower on hematite pig, Mid
ulesburOugh and most Scotch brands.
Absence Of American demand caused re-
lapse in pig tin prices 70 f93 6s. There
n subsequent rise OF 81 l0s with spot
stock held very firmly against sales Of forwards.
il is the general opinion that prices will go
higher should silver continue 20 advance.
There is only moderate outside speculation at
present. In copper large business has been
done in ingOts at the advanced prices, and the
demand is stlll heavy. A considerable quantity
OF matte has been taken for reshipment TO
American smelters, and consumers are short OF
stock and have been anxious buyers causing q
steady reduction In spot supplies. Only small
quantities are held oy the trade and a further
rise is considered probable. French holders are
conducting operations sklllfully. At the present
rate Of manufacture, it Is estimated II 500 tons
more will be required this year for sulphate
than was used last year. The visible supply de-
creased $500 tons during the first half of the
month. Transactions in furnace material have
been heavy thus far this month, including 900
tons anaconda matte at lOs Cd; 500 tons ditto at
lis Sd aud 900 tons anaconda argentiferous on
private terms.
The Namaqua Copper Companys report
shows profit for the year OF f34, 600, the pay
ment Of a dividend of l215 per cent, and e. 59S
carried forward to the reserve fund. INQUIRIES
for tin plate have been more numerous this
week, but actual business rather slow and little

An encouraging feature Of the real estate
