NEW METAL EXCHANGE
LIVE MARKET PLANNED.
Increment to Fir Prices by 4ctual
Trade Values.

a movement is on foot. ii was learned yester-
dax TO reform the methods of the New York
Metal Exchange and establish a real live and
active metal market here. AT present the quo
tafiors on the Metal Exchange not based on
actual transactions but in the case Of copper
are fixed by committee and in the cases of
Tin lead and spelter by the secretary of the ex-
change. With the exception OF pig tin. in which
there are some genuine offers TO buy and sell,
there have been no actual transactions in metals
OF the exchange for many years
The quotations made on the exchange do not.
ss a rule correspond with the market prices Of
the metals, and il is understood that the trade,
particularly in copper, has long looked with dis
favor upon the practice of the exchange in
quoting prices metals that did not represent
actual sales.
To remedy these conditions a reform commit
tee has been organized and is actively engaged
II soliciting proxies among the 136 members Of
the institution for use at the annual meeting on
March 81 A member OF this committee said
yesterday that if it succeeded in getting enough
proxies 10 give il control Of the meeting the
methods OF conducting business on the exchange
would be wholly reformed. and that instead Of
prices being fixed By committee the secre-
ta-y they would be based actual market val
ues. and that the metals would actually be
traded in on the exchange In other words he
II
10 establish in this city a metal exchange run
on the same principle as the Cotton and Coffee
exchanges
AT present, if was pointed out. metal dealers
here have TO depend on London for actual quo
rsrious there being exchange in this country
where real transactions in metals conducted.
The reforrners contend that the exchanges quo
tations particularly in copper, are misleading
and tend 10 confusion in the trade, and de-
clare that the establishment here of a real
metal exchange will be CT great benefit TO the
trade in general.
The New York Metal Exchange is the only ex-
change in the country il which quotations are
made by a committee instead of being based
on actual transactions or actual bid and asked
r-ices The exchanges quotations on copper
have however, been fairly accurate in forecast
ing the market price Before the decline in the
r,-i-A Of copper TO l. cents pound, last sum-
-1e- the quotations or the Metal Exchange had
reen At that figure, and in some quarters in the
trade i was believed that she quotations on the
exchange had an important influence in bring
ing the price Of the metal TO that hgure-a fact
which Is said 10 have given rise to a good deal
