METALS-The most important factor IN
local metal circles was the new low records
OF this year for lead and spelter made at
London. where lead closed very weak at
Gl6 2s Cd, while the local market remains
dull and nominally unchanged on the basis
Of A37I1 Spelter at London closed weak
at f1s 12s Cd; this had weakening inhu-
ence on our market. which sold on 2ls
points to A.l5n4.20. and was very weak at
the decline; tin was rather unsettled, with
trading confined chiefly to supplying imme-
diate requirements; prices, however, show
gain OF about So points over last nights
close to $3.50 In sympathy with similar
advance at London, where the market
closed firm at a rise of Ei los to f1l7 Jos.
Copper ruled quiet and nominaly quoted
at Sl7 for Lake Superior and s16.62la for
electrolic and casting. In London copper
was 2s Cd lower at G7l % Cd. Trading In
the domestic iron markets was of hand
to-mouth character and the undertone at
nominally unchanged prices. English mar
kets for iron were weak and unsettled:
Glasgow at the close was quoted at COS 4d
and Middlesboro 55s Cd, nominally.

CATTLE-There was not a heavy run Of
cattle here today, but the market was by
no means In good shape. Packers did not
take hold Of the fat cattle, and as result
It was late before anything was done.
About all that could be said Of the market
IL that 1t was very slow and the tendency
of prices was downward. The Chicago
market was also weak, which had a ten
dency to make bids lower at this point.
Anything on the common order was par
ticularly hard to move
Tho COW market was also very slow and
lower Some of the best GRADES cf eows
from the way they did yesterday. but as a
general General thing bids were lower and the
Bulls, calves. staSs. etc, were none too
active today and the market was certainly
no better.
The feeder trade, however, was in good
shape. The best grades sold readily at fully
steady prices. There were not many here
and consequently they changed hands early
In the morning. The less desirable cattle
also brought very satisfactory prices. Stock
cows and heifers seemed to be in good
demand at yesterdays prices and so lid
stock calves. Stock bulls also showed little
change
There were only a few western grass
cattle on sale today, and the most of those
were rather common In quality. The cow
stun was very slow SALE and as a rule
brought lower prices than the same kinds
sold FOR yesterday. There were not enough
beef steers on sale to amount to anything
prices. Representative sales:
