METAL.

NEW YORK, June 19-The metal
market started the week showing con-
siderable irregularity, but very little
activity. Tin and spelter developed
softness, while lead displayed fair de-
gree of strength. News was conflicting
and added to the uncertainty. At the
close the Metal Exchange called pig
iron warrants entirely nominal at
$3.50; lake copper dull at $1825 bid
and 1850 asked; tin dull and easy
at $3.50 bid and $3.50 asked; lead
quiet but firm at $3.50; spelter dull
and unsettled at S6.25, nominal.
The brokers price for lead is s425
and for copper $1S.25@1S.50.

DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK. June 19-There has
been no change in the cotton goods
market. Brown sheetings and grey
goods have been in quiet request and
prices unaltered. Bleached cottons
firm, with moderate sales Denims
steady, but quiet. Other coarse colored
cottons without special feature. The
demand for dark fancy calicoes con-
tinues good. Staple lines in more than
average request. Ginghams are quite
strong throughout. No change in
wooden goods division Fair demand
and firm tone noted.

TORONTO. o.. June 19.-The Cir

OF the Common Pleas court in favor of

Government bonds irregular.
State bonds inactive.
Railroad bonds easier.

Stccks-Speculation in stocks has
evidently reached a sort of equatorial
line, and is hopelessly becalmed in the
doldrums, with not enough Roadway
to indicate in which direction it's course
shall be finally shaped. Dealings to-
day continued profoundly dull and out
side of movements of a few special
stocks which were influenced by indi-
vidual causes, the days events were in
consequential. AS is only natural in
a market where the buying demand is
practically nil the drift of prices was
downward, even with a very small
body Of offerings to weigh on the mar
ket. There was in addition the SYM
pathetic effects of an active liquidation,
coupled with bear pressure in steel and
wire. The net results for the day are
losses in almost all cases and in quite
large number of cases these amount
to as much as point or over.
Steel and Wire showed its weakness
from the opening and dropped by sue
cessiye stages without any determined
support being manifested to a level
nearly 81 per share below the price of
Saturday. The confusion and uncer-
tainty as to the declaration Of divi-
dend at the coming meeting, Cue to
the conflicting utterances OF those con-
nected with the property, showing the
existing Of dispute among the direc-
tors themselves, are responsible for
this weakness. Heavy lines of this
stock were taken on by operators on
the confident assumption that a divi-
dend was to be declared Federal
Steel and other stocks of companies in
the steel trade dropped in sympathy.
A buying demand for the Tennessee
coal spread to Colorado Fuel, had
large influence in checking the decline
in the whole group and affecting a par
tlal recovery except in Federal Steel,
which sold at the lowest on the last
sale at a net decline of over points.
The temporary drop in the wheat mar
ket stiffened the grangers for a while,
but they yielded again. The prevail
ing depression On foreign exchanges
was an Influence and the bears sold
traction STOCKS on the theory that West
ern street railroad strikes might spread
The Baltimore & Ohio stocks were
rather conspicuously weak. with no
further explanation apparent than the
NSSA NeASS III HCt Col uluSS
with last year. 1t is evident that the
public and operators in stocks are wait
ing for the future course of evens in
the country's business and industry to
become more clearly defined. Although
the buying demand is at standstill,
present holders show no disposition
to sell at present prices. There was
some short selling evident to-day, but
the borrowing demand for stocks is so
small as to preclude the idea that a
large short interest exists. The bears
are apparently as disinclined to operate
as are the buyers. The consequence is
the almost stagnant waiting market
The course of railroad bonds tended
to fall. but business in them was al
most as quiet as that in stocks. To-
tai sales, par value, S1,995,000.
U. S. 3's coupon declined Il and the
old As coupon advanced Il in the bid
price.
The total sales of stocks to-day
amounted to 335.949 shares.
