NEW YORK METAL-New York Oct. 26.-
The local market for metals exhibited more
or less irregularity today but no radical
changes were noted in prices. Trade on the
whole was OF unsatisfactory proportions and
the outlook for improvement in that line was
rather dubious. AT the close the metal ex-
change called pig iron warrants very quiet
81 bid and SIPS asked. Tin, quiet SITS BID
$1S asked. Lead, steady for spot, but easy
Spelter unchanged, but firm, IS bid, $5.121k
asked. The firm naming the settling prices
for leading miners and shelters quote lead

Coffee options opened steady at unchanged
prices to points advance, ruled fairly active
With steadier undertone, following better
European cables and renewed small move
ment at Rio and Santos some Indication Of
broadened speculation but actual transactions
almost entirely on local account. Larger
holders some confidence. Closing barely
steady, SC lower to &c higher. Sales, 29, goo
bags, including November, 595.05c; March,
SIC; centrifugal, SO test, 4Ac; molasses sugar,
NEW YORK DRY GooDs-New York, Oct
26.-The continuance of small orders in fair
quantities in the dry goods market has
kept the average of sales UP to a high
standard. Dependence on the coming of buy
ers into the market Is precarious. The inter
est in cotton goods has shown an increase
since the agreement was signed by the Fall
River manufacturers In staple cottons there
have been fairly heavy orders reported for
bown goods in wide sheetings, standards and
drills.

NEW YORK COTToN-New York, Oct 49,
The cotton market opened steady with
prices 1 to points. Liverpool made a poor
response to our rally of yesterday and this

ing new obligations on account Of the mixed
state of political affairs abroad. Port and in
terror receipts were rather larger than ex-
pected. Cotton futures closed steady; Oc-
tober, 5.14; November, BIS; December, 81;
