NEW YORK, May 25.-Evening Posts Lon
don financial cablegram: The Epson races

markets here stagnant and featureless today.
TIE London statement that the Bank of En-
gland had reduced the buying price of Amerl-
can coin was incorrect. The London discount
rate fell today TO 2ss per cent. This continued
weakness is partly caused by the dearth OF
American bills, but it is believed that the

Lyle & Raeburn's report: Mixers and
springers of all grades find buyers, with god
ones being in most request at very high
prices. The present scarcity of good useful
animals may be attributed to the fact that
other kinds of cattle have been in extra good
demand for several months. Farmers at last
awakening and going more extensively into
cattle-raising, therefore it takes more money
than formerly to purchase their desirable
cows and country shippers are afraid Of los

MONSTER PLANT

Now in Contemplation by the Leidecker
Tool Company.
The stockholders OF the Leidecker
Tool Company, OF this city, have been
compelled by the rapid growth Of their
business to determine upon the erec-
ton OF new plant on mammoth
scale. Their facilities here have be-
come entirely inadequate for the hand
ling of their extensive business in the
manufacture of oil we'll tools. 1t is de-
signed to erect an entirely new plant
which will be the largest Of the kind
In the United States, and will be
ada pied for the manufacture of almost
everything needed in the "oil coun-
try"
Mr.. ]. j. Leidecker and Mr.. Shryock,
the manager of the works, are at the
head OF the new enterprise and state
that it is sure go. Whether the
plant will be erected in Marietta or
some other oil town is matter not yet
decided, but Mr.. Leidecker's statement
that they have always been pleased
with their treatment here would ap.
pear to give this city the inside track
The plans for the new enterprise are
not vet fully matured, but the project
is certainty.
