METALS.

NEW YORK. April 2s.-Trading in
the market for metals was not very
active. The undertone, however, con-
tinues generally weak. owing to the
unfavorable cables and the over-pro-
duction of iron. Tin in London was
los lower, this, together with the fall
ing off in consumption, causing prices
here to ease off materially. The close
was weak at 500 50@29 Is. Lake cop
per while 5s lower abroad, held dull
but steady here at fully sustained
prices, closing at SIT 90. Pig-iron war
rants continue weak and nominal,
closing at SIS so. Northern No. / foun-
dry was quoted at 21@23c nominal.

changed on the basis of 81 67h bid and

FINANCE AND TRADE.

NEW YORK, April 26.-The Com
mercial Advertisers London financial
cablegram says:
The markets here were quiet to-day,
but there vas more investment bust
ness. The bank return caused a firm
tone, although the close was rather I'M
settled. Consols were ~fractionally
harder and the war loan touched 1 1-3
premium on strong buying, finishing
at 1 1916.
Americans were inactive but cheer
full, being made hard here despite the
absence of continental support. New
York responded and the close was near
the top. The features were Baltimore
& Ohio and Wabash bonds, the latter
on New York inquiries.
COppers were again wanted at a
quarter rise oR~bear closing.
The bank lost G70,00O gold to South
America and bought $4,000 in Ger
man coin. The fall. in sterling ex-
changereduced the talk of American
exports, but it is reported that gold is
going 0 on from London to Paris.
Call money was firm at unchanged
rates, and bills were harder and fewer
were offering. The bank renewed the
few sums due and also lent slightly,
besides doing a moderate business in
discounts. The bank return shows a
rise of G2,500, 900 in public deposits,
merely representing bankers holding
back funds for the end of the month
and the war loan call of 10 per cent on
Thursday.

Macarthur Extends the Area of
Philippine Occupation.
A dispatch from Manila, dated December
0, says;
While the captures of supplies and the
occupations of new towns are numerous,
those involving actual fighting are COM
paratively few. Apparently the Filipinos
are falling back at all contested points, sac
rif1cing their possessions in most cases and
satisfied to save themselves.

described as a failure, has truly failed
magnif1cently. 1t has broken all records
for worlds shows in regard to attendance.
In seven months 50.OOOOO0 visitors passed
through its turnstiles, more than double
the number who visited the worlds fair
at Chicago. 1t is interesting to note how
these great shows have grown in populari-
ty. In 1851 100000 people attended the
great exhibition in Hyde Park. Four years
later the first great show in Paris was
visited by 100000. In 1867 Paris drew
10000. 600 visitors, in 1878 she attracted~l6,-
0OO, OO0-an average of 82,OO4 a day-and
in 1889 the record show up to this year
was visited by 2S.OO0.000 people. Since the
Crystal Palace was first erected in Hyde
Park in 1851 there have been twenty-one
great international shows. and the aggre-
gate attendance has been about 150. .000, 600.
