METAL.

NEW YORK, June T.---oferings OF

on a liberal scale and caused an easier
feeling to prevail throughout the ees-

a moderate business transpired at the
decline. In London spot tin was ad-
vanced 91 to E13i los and futures los,
closing at El27 los; due to lack OF
sellers rather than to an increase in the
demand Copper in London was a
shade lower closing easy in tone at

the situation was as heretofore stated
dull and nominal at SIT 90 for Lake
Superior and 1890 for casting and cleo

New York and London. Spelter also
ruled featureless at old prices. Do
nestle iron markets ruled very dull g.

Shipments OF boots and shoes from

opened forwardings have been over two
million cases, far surprising any pre-
vious record. Although the movement
is still heavy, shops receive few orders
and it will be some weeks before active
work begins on fall contracts. Retail
ers are offering black goods for summer
wear at reduced prices. and 1t is ew-
dent that the production of these shoes
was excessive while tan shoes have
been in much greater demand and man-
ufacturers are pushed to ill contracts.
Prices are steady and jobbers report
that the better qualities are sought.
Local distribution is facilitated by the
warm weather, and this factor is even
more potent in the market for cotton
goods. which exhibited greater anima-
ton than at any previous time this sea-
son. Other textile lines were helped.
though less extensively. Better move
ments of domestic goods and the conse-
quent expectation that mills would need
raw material together with the in
creased activity abroad, sustained cot
ton.

The stock market here was quite
heavy In the early dealings. with
American shares decidedly feverish.
With the exception of Norfolk & West
ern, the whole list was sold freeiy.
The result was sharp drop all around
and an unsettled feeling. Toward noon,
however, New York buying caused a
rally, with L. & N, Erie and Union Pa
cific leading in the upward movement.
The better feeling did not last and
the finish was depressed at about the
worst of the day. The authorities here
are inclined to the opinion that the
weakness Is temporary and part Of an
organized movement of the New YORK
movement to prevent public buying
from getting beyond control again.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, June 7.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row will say:
The labor situation in many parts
OF the country is still seriously I'M
settled and constitutes a reason for
hesitation in some industries, discour-
aging new operations which satisfac-
tory conditions would otherwise stimu-
late. But quick decision is to be ex-
pected in some of these labor contro-
versies and in the meantime trade Is
encouraged by the reports OF salts
factory condition of winter wheat over
large portion of the country. AS for
spring wheat, the crop was put in un-
der very favorable conditions and there
have been few unsatisfactory reports
Railroad earnings for May, 96 per cent.
in excess of 1900 and 23.2 per cent. over
1899. reflect a continued activity In the
country; while at ew York bank clear
ings gain for the week S6.S per cent.
over 1900 and 5s.1 per cent. over 1888.
with gains at the leading cities outside
New York of I'll per cent over 1900
and 27.5 per cent. over 1899.
The cessations of manipulation In
corn contributed to q decline of 81 per
cent. in breadstuffs.
Labor controversies have been the
factor of greatest Importance In the
leading manufacturing industry. Count
ing. perhaps, upon the urgency of or
ders and heavy losses which would be
sustained by employers in cases OF sus-
pension. the machinists made what
were considered unreasonable demands
by employers at many points. who have
taken determined stand and announc-
ed that the strikers places will be filed
by non-union men on Monday II they
fail TO resume work. More quiet con-
ditions in the market and few new
contracts make this action possible.

for a decline, however. are far from ag-
gressive; the severe losses OF the short

traders extremely cautious. A slight

NEW YORK, June denver was
again the feature in London to-day
other Americans were dull, at slightly
reduced quotations.
The New York market was dull and
transactions the smallest of the week,
being only 766,60O shares. Louisville
& Nashville was the feature among the
railroads, opening at 1885, decline of
70, closing at 11O1a on transactions OF
about $1,000 shares. The tobacco
stocks, American and Continental, were
easily the features of the industrial list,
in fact the strongest of the entire mar
ket, American closing at 143K, gain
of 2 points, and Continental 70sz, gain
of / point. This is due to favorable
terms for consolidation.
United States Steels were weak, on
small transactions, preferred closing at
1895 on sales of only S.400 shares, and
the common at sou on sales of $500
shares.
An increase of about S3,000,000 in re-
serves is predicted for to-morrow's bank
statement. Money remains easy at 21s
@S per cent, and the general market is
purchase on any reactions.
At the close of the market it was
rumored that Gould and Pennsylvania
interests are negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Wabash and Wheeling &
lake Erie in Pennsylvania interests,
and the announcement is expected in a
few days. This is in line with the pol
icy often reiterated by Pennsylvania
officials that they do not propose to
enter the territory west of the Missis-
sippi, but it might be added that the
Pennsylvania in conjunction with New
York Central, are planning to control
everything east, and it may be that
Southern Pacific will be given to George
Gould for the Pacific outlet of the Mis-
souri, Pacific system, as reward for
keeping out of Pennsylvania preserves.
This deal, if carried out. will make the
Pennsylvania supreme in the middle
east, and especially in the Wheeling
district

strength in Missouri Pacific was accom-
