er. The market for coffee futures opened
steady in tone. with prices points low
er, and later became heavy and weaker
under selling for both accounts, absence
of speculative support and much larger
Brazilian receipts than expected. Free
offerings of spot coffee in the street
market, with disappointing foreign mar
ket news, helped to depress local senti-
ment. The close was steady, with prices
net 5 to 10 points lower. Total sales
were 49, $50 bags, including: May at SC:

METAL MARKET-New York. April
23.-There was slight reaction in tin in
London today, due, it was stated, to
renewal of speculative interests, in spite
of the fact that the statistical outlook
Is as bearish as ever The close abroad
was steady with spot quoted at e117 Is
Cd and futures at ELI les. The local sit
uation was featureless affair and prices
cid not vary throughout the session, clos
ing on the somewhat nominal basis of
! SIG, with the demand dormant Copper
in London was a, shade easier under
liquidation and closed at $40 Is I'd for
| spot and $40 lis sd for futures. While
holding steady the local market was
1896 for castings and electrolytic Lead
! was inactive but nominalIy steady at I'M
changed prices. while in London a de-
! cline of Is Sd was noted to Ell les I'd.
Trading in both markets was slow. Spell
| ter remains dull and without Important
| feature, either here CIR abroad, at un-
changed prices, which were at s3.9504
! and eli IS Sd, respectively. Domestic.
| iron markets ruled rather quiet but
| about steady at old prices. Glasgow

| WOOL-Boston, April g. = The wool
market is quiet, with better tone There
! Is little change in the situation, compare ed
| with a week ago. In the absence of much
! demand general values hold on a steady
| basis, and the only weakness observa-
! bic is No. l and No fieeces, due to lack
| of demand Territorial woods continue
to be the bulk of transactions. Fine me-
| d1um and fine secured staple is quoted
! at 42443c, while the staple article calls
Tor 46g4Sc. Fleece woods are quiet, but
| been cleaned up at &c, with No. / wash
| ed at 2Sc. This shows a weakness in the
latter woods, but the call is running to-
wards the finer grades. The following
