METAL.

NEW YORK, April lot was an
other day of small things in the local
metal market. In tin, holders reduced
their price 20 points, but even this
concession could not bring about bust
ness as buyers considered rates still too
high in view of the bearih statistical
position. The close here was dull; how
ever. with prices more or less nominal
on the basis of s26@26 80. In London

this factor was thoroughly discouraged.
Copper ruled inactive and nominally
unchanged at SIT 90 for Lake Superior

changed at t6S LIS sd and H69 3s Cd

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, April 10.-While the
grain markets were fairly steady to-day
trade generally was tame in the alb
sence of New York factors. May wheat
closed 1s@Ac higher; May corn nc
lower; May oats 1sQAc down and
provisions 21a@5c to 71sc higher.
Although the belief that the govern
ment report due after trading hours,
had been discounted by recent heavy
decline there was a disposition to re-
main neutral until its contents were
made known. May opened unchanged
to nc lower at 10 to $3.50, under
heavy selling caused by rain in the
southwest where it is most needed.
This pressure did not last long and in
its absence the market began a gradual
recovery. touching 1913 during the
forenoon. Driblets of long stuff came
out and the market reacted to 10, where
it again steadled, this time on reports
Of a good export demand. Shorts bid
the market up to 7012c, but an easier
feeling followed as only moderate cash
sales could be confirmed. May dechn-
ed to 701sc and closed steady B9Ac
higher at 701s 070Ac. Seaboard clear
ances in wheat and -four were equal to
2o9,0 bushels, while primary receipts
were 49S,000 bushels compared with
425.000 bushels a year ago. Local re-
ceipts were 81 cars, none OF contract
grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported ITS cars against 421 last week
and 3l5 a year ago Exporters reported
70 loads taken.
Scattered realizing sales gave the
corn market a heavy aspect at the
opening. May prices ranged from A to
4312c, compared with the close of yes
terday at 43 rs q44c, and in few min
/ utes the market dropped TO 43A. Sup
port from the bull leader checked the
decline and caused a slow reaction to
1875. The close was steady, IA 9Ac
lower at 43a @ &c. The weather gen.
orally remained favorable, although
there were indications OF rain in parts
OF the west. There was slight in
crease in country offerings from Illi
nois. but at that they were very small.
Receipts were l56 cars, 35 of contract
grade.
Liquidation led By local long which
disposed OF approximately LOCO, 600
bushels. depressed prices in the oats
market. Buying was scattered among
shorts for the mot part May sold be-
tween 25G2i5sc and closed 1s9Ac
lower at 24Ac. Receipts were 10 cars
In provisions feeling at the opening
was somewhat easier under the infu-
ence of lower prices in the hog mar
ket but good cash demand and later
caused a reversal of the tone
and the market advanced. May pork
sold between $14 IS and $14 20 and
closed TIC higher ct $14 37k; May

mite statement as 10 the losses from
disease and. exposure during the year
ending March =, 1901, tthe losses be-
ing reported as percentage Of the to-
tai number OF farm animals), the re-
ports received from correspondents
leave absolutely no room for doubt,
that owing to the general mildness
Of the past winter such losses have
been much below the average OF a
series OF years.
