METAL.

NEW YORK, April There was a
better feeling obtained for spelter in
the local metal market to-day. Prices
advanced about 5 points in face of a
loss OF Is, Sd for that metal in London,
on light export inquiry and a lack OF
sellers. The close was firm at $4,000
3.95. The exports of copper for the
month of March was 6,624 tons, thus
indicating a heavy decrease for the first
quarter of this year, the exports for the
latter being only 24.05S tons, against
44,679 last year. The local copper mar
ket was dull but steady at about I'M

cline of IS, Sd was reported; spot

ped about so points in sympathy with
the loss abroad, but traders exhibited
little disposition to do business at any
figure. The close was tirIn but quiet
at $26.00@26.30. The visible supply Of
tin increased 1,040 tons during the past
month. Lead was without quotable
change and very dull. Iron, while dis

receipts were 81 cars. four Of contract
grade, while Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 480 cars, against 621 last week
and $50 q year ago. Primary receipts
were $4,000 bushels, compared with
747,000 bushels last year. Seaboard
clearances in wheat and -four were
equal to 581, 600 bushels. The visible
increased $4,000 bushels.
Oats were active but erratic, and in
the end bowed to the corn influence.
May opened Ac to Nc lower at 26Ac
to 26hc, and on heavy buying for the
country account, rallied early to 27kc.
Heavy profit taking caused a reaction
to 265sc, and closed M@Ac lower at
25% @24Ac. Receipts were 1874 cars.
Provisions remained arm in the face
of weakness in neighboring pits. Light
hog receipts, higher prices at the
yards and the continued goo1 demand
for the cash article were the sustaining
factors. May pork sold between $3.50
@15.62k, and closed 10c higher aver
Saturday at $15.62h; May lard between
$S.25 and sS.32Ka, closing TIC higher

tomorrow, the absorption of cash by
the ~sub-treasury on routine operations
continues ivery large. Sterling ex-
change advanced a fraction to the gold
export point to-day on the large de-
mand from stock houses who are buy
ing American stocks abroad. After
the stock market had closed a $780,
900 gold shipment to Europe for to-
morrow was announced and more IS
expected to go during the week. The
tone of the money market was dis
tihctly harder but not the slightest
effect was produced on the specula-
ton. Conjecture was at a loss to ac-
count for the source Of the heavy and
concentrated selling Of the United
States Steel stocks, but there was a
suggestion that it was due to the pur-
chase of an interest amounting to
several million dollars which~the syn
dictate underwriters had agreed to sell
but had decided to pass through the
open market.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The prodig-
ious volume of dealings in the u. S.
steel securities to-day brought the ag-
gregate sales of all stocks on the ex-
change within measurable distance Of
the largest dealings on record for a
single day. The largest single days
transactions were those on January z
OF this year when the sales reached
2,127, SOB shares. The total for to-day
was 1855, 800 shares, which has been
only exceeded by the record day. The
large part played by the u. S. steel
stocks ever in such a broad and active
market as that of to-day is indicated
by the sales of the common and the
preferred, those of U. S. steel amount
ing to ZIG, 100 and those of U. S. steel
preferred to 16S, 500 shares, or for
both 3S4. 900 shares. which was % per
cent of the total dealings. It is very
evident that the activity of the U. S..
steel corporation stocks on the ex-
change with their bulky capitalization
of II. 900. 900 shares according to to-
days amended certificate Of ineorpora-
ton, is to constitute a new era in the
volume of dealings for individual
stocks. Single commission houses to-
day did a sufficient business in these
stocks alone to realize a handsome
fortune simply from the brokerage
commissions on their operations. One
house was credited with selling up
wards of 100 900 shares of U. >. steel
preferred and various other houses
between 80, 900 and 100, 90 shares of
either one or the other stocks. The
resources required for the support of
a stock in which the dealings are on
such a scale, that is to-day the conf
dent purchase of all the stock that
may be offered at current quotations,
staggers the imagination. But the
days event proved that the powerful
syndicate back of these securities was
equal to the task. 1t is the current be-
lief that the management of the stocks
is under the care of the most ~conspic-
uous and widely known professional
operator in the street. The offerings
which we're hurled on the market. fair
ly staggered the prices for a period,
but they were rallied and moved up
ward through the avalanche, the COM
mon rising 2h and closing at the top
while the preferred rose an extreme
1Aand closed within Il of the top.
The course of these stocks had a large
influence on the ultimate movement of
the whole stock market. There were
points of great strength here and there
in the early dealings but the profit TAX
ing sales were on an enormous scale
and the movement of prices highly ir-
regular and conflicting until past the
noon hour. Many Of the opening ad-
vances were about wiped out before
the final outburst which carried prices
to the highest of the day. A final
realizing movement carried the most
active stocks down again from one to
two points and made the closing very
irregular. Rock Island was a feature
all day in spite of denials of reported
consolidation with the Atchison sys-
TENS and of other rumors set. afoat
to account for the movement in the
stock.
A large part of the speculation was
apparently based on the disparity be-
tween its price and that Of the other

while Rock Island continued its sharp
advance of last Saturday followed in
its action by st. Paul and U. P. as well
