TO RELIEVE FOOD SCARCITY
Hungary susponds Tax on Imports of
Grain,

Vienna, Oct. 1.-THE repeated eff
forts of the Austrian government
finally have succeeded in persuading
the Hungarian cabinet to consent TO
a suspension of the import duties on
grain, but as a part concession to tue
Hungarian agricultural interests it is
understood the government Will not
attempt to fix any scale of maximum
prices for the grain market.
The spirit manufacturers have been
forbidden to use maize and potatoes
and therefore must use sugar beets
and molasses as substitutes.
1t is hoped that these measures will
tend to prevent further increase in
the price of breadstuffs, as the rise
thus far is causing much hardship
amGng the poor.

COPPER--A noteworthy exporta-

in their ability to dispose Of their pro
duction. Some report deliveries ap-
proximating their present production,
but most report deliveries short
thereof. We summarize all reports in
the judgment that The deliveries are
still far below the production at the
curtailed rate, and that while the
trade is working toward the condition
of approximate equilibrium, we are
still materially distant therefrom.
With the increasing volume of busi-
ness, conditions are very erratic and
uncertain. Some sales of round lots
have been effected during the week
at 12c, delivered, usual terms.
The American Smelling & Refining
company is making final settlement
at 12.34c per lb. for the copper in
ore, matte etc, that it received in
August, upon which it advanced 1Oc
per lb. pending final settlement.
LEAD-A good deal of nervous
ness has been exhibited in this mar
ket, and there has been distinctly
softer tone. AS well as we can de-
termine the facts. real consumption
continues good and the bulk of the de-
mand being supplied on contracts,
there is no strong motive for reduc-
ing prices. On the other hand, the
relatively small competitive market
seems to be oversupplied and some
producers have been more anxious to
have money than lead The offering
of some lead for resale by previous
buyers has also been disturbing. In
st. Louis transactions have been made
during the week at 3.65c. In New
York, the A. S. & R. Co.'s price has
remained unchanged at 39Oc, but out
siders have offered freely at $3.50,
and there have been distinct intima-
tions about possibility of doing bust
ness at $50, which of course would
be the st. Louis parity.
(Since the above was published, the
official quotation has dropped to 3.75c
per 100 lbs.)
ZiNC--The expectations of a re-
newal of demand from England which,
we indicated last week, failed to be
realized. The fact is that English
buyers obtained supply that had
been in stock at Rotterdam, which be-
came available at about f23h @24, or
$5.10a5.20. Cut off from immediate
possibility of selling for export, sew
eral producers began to feel vigorous
