NEW YoRK-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 ZIG rs 3D.,
while the local market remains dull and
nominally unchanged on the basis OF
81 3TMs. Spelter at London closed weak
ut ELS IFS Cd. This had n weakening
influence on our market which sold off
2h points to 81 1564 20. and was very
weak at the decline. Tin was rather
unsettled with trading confined chiefly
to supplying immediate requirements.
Prices, however, show gain of about
80 points over last nights close to

vance ut London. where the market
closed firm ut n rise of Ell los to ELI

London copper was Is Cd lower at Ell

this week were as rule the weakest.

special stocks earlier in the week by
powerful financial interests with indie

the threatened strlngency in the money

Another hope was that the rise in the
money rate here would bring gold from
London, but the flrmer ss;tendency OF
dealing late yesterday and emphatically
this morning has brought the specula-

certainty of very. weak bank state

Z The stock market to-day was less

than check the liquidation which was

elapsed period since an Erie stock sold

SIS. The authoritative announcement
that q contract Of sale had been signed
between the Pennsylvania coal COM
pany and syndicate headed by the
central power in the anthracite trade,
was the cause OF the buoyancy. The
bid for Pennsylvania coal was rapidly
advanced without bringing out any
stock except an occasional order to the
wide intervals until full lot Of 100000
shares was sold at 735 and another at
TAO. Last night the stock was 6l6 bid

discussion was aroused by the omission

But through u misunderstanding OF

Jack was the only one displayed. and
in order that no invidious distinction
