decline reported last week. and bar steel
and plates are likewise lower The other
metals have shown a reactionary tone

labor troubles has hardened bituminous
at most markets
1t has been a weather market for the

market have not been sufficient to pro-
duce any outside bull movement. while
the quietness in dry goods and the weak
ness noted in cotton yarns have been
additionally discouraging features Wool
is weak, but there is rather more inquiry
and now, as one year ago, relatively
highest prices rule at points Of produc-

Backward weather conditions have ef-

this, as in a number of other lines, the
advanced prices demanded are credited
with checking business. The pressure OF
heavy supplies is responsible for the
slight weakening shown in the price is
of raw sugar this week, while the re-
fine market remains unchanged. Wea-

Their influences are again reflected in the
market for dairy products, which has
weakened under large receipts.
