markets abroad and rather smaller re-

METALS-New York. April 24-There
was very little interest manifested IN
the local metal market today. The only
change In list, that of spelter. was pr1n-
cipaliy due to a lack of sellers rather
than TO any speculative movement. That
metal ruled firm all day and closed
points higher, at S4ai4.05, while in London
prices were without change on the basis
of Eli Is I'D. Tin, both here and in Lon
don remained featureleSS and nomlna1ly
unchanged with trading very SLOW. Inc
close was quiet, at S26 and in London

WOOL-Boston April 24-The Ameri-
can Wool and Cotton Reporter will say
from the liberal purchases Of fine Aus
tralia and Ohio delaine, made at the very
beginning of the week, under review by
a we'll known MILL which practically
cleans up the supply of such stock In this
market. the trade has ruled very dull and
has presented locally but few features
of interest. The sales referred to consist
of something like 1.500 bales of Austria
Han, which were taken. it was reported,
at prices ranging from SIC to 33c, equal to
a clean cost of 65GI6Tc. The delaine woods
amounted to about 1900 pounds, and the
prices paid are understood to have been
2S@29c. These sales reflect the tendency
CT the demand toward fine woods, which
are relatively much stronger than medi-
confidence of consumers in this class of
stock on which prices are firmly held
Taking the market as a whole, the pur-
chasing has been mostly of piecing-out
character. There is no disposition to an
ticfpate future requirements to any great
extent. and no speculative tendency is
noticeable. While trading may be very
dull. the tone of the market, as far as
prices are concerned, is very steady. The
sales for the week in Boston amounted
to 2.591.000 pounds domestic and $50 0O0
pounds foreign making total of 3.2S1 COO
against a total Of 410S, 060 for the previous
week. and total of 2,256. 900 for the cor
responding week last year The sales
since Jan. | amount to IS 23, 900 pounds,
against 81, 800 pounds for the CORE
spending time last year.
