opened with better tone in evidence but

prices slumped on. The closing was weak.
There was nothing new 70 explain the recent

with more Inquiries for finished materials.
Stocks have declined from 10 10 Ok -o;nts n

favorable features they seem low enough.
COPPER-Boston May 23.-The market
showed g slight rally at the opening but as
soon as the shorts had covered q small line
prices eased on again and the whole market
closed weak. Every one seems TO be bearish
al present, but without any particular reason
except the scarcity OF buying orders. The
