Not the Real Thing.

on the average prices gained ground
slightly Yesterday. In half "A dozen IN
stances among the ~spccialties GAINS were
uuite large. Hut In general trading was
too light to lend any special significance
to the movement. From a broad point
OF view market conditions have not
changed. The speculative community as
a whole is content to await develop-
ments. The activity now Is being MADE
by the trading element on the Nor ana
other spectators of the restless type.
Aggressive pool operations also appear
to he playing a large part. Efforts 10
revive speculation In the so-called war
order stocks and the degree OF success
achieved may testify to the inherent
strength Of the speculative spirit, but the
at this time is not particularly
favored. The buying does no: appear to
he OF very substantial character. ShTewd
observers say that the market In the
specialties is still being played on stops
and that each wave of buying increases
the number OF these orders In the mar
kct. This is a tendency which does MT
argue well for the future, although the
movement so far has probably not some
far enough to weaken the market po-
sition greatly.

THE COPPER MARKET.
Demand for SpeIter Far Exceeds
the supply.

The greatest activity In metal mar
kets was again oun In spelter.
The demand for that commodity far
exceeded the supply. Fancy prices were
paid for all grades. Brass specials sold
at 90 cents. There was a good inquiry
for several hundred tons OF prime West
ern spelter for delivery In each
or SIX months commencing with
August. Fifteen cents a pound was bid,
bat producers made a counter offer OF
accepting the business AZ l6 cents q
pound. Delays nave proved very costly
In spelter during the last few days. so
rapid have price advances occurred. On
Wednesday a consumer, failing TO exer-
else his option on a tonnage OF spelter
by 3 o'clock mat afternoon, was obliged
20 pay SEQ a ton more for the same
metal the next morning.
Demand for copper improved some
what and producers look for good bust
ness during the coming week, There
has been some shading where large
amOunts were not involved. but this was
ut the hands o. small producers and
second hands.
Exports OF copper during the last
week were 1857 tons, making 24.65S
tons since the first OF May. This COM
pared with 26.S3S tons last year.
Lead market held firm and there was
some talk Of higher prices, although
this was not generally given credence.
for production Of lead Is more ample
fog demands than IN the case OF either
copper or speltcr.

parsntly a market position was hull,

Of the people is taking a land. Per-

this speculative spirit at the present
time that numerous pools are working
openly without the fact appearing to
discourage the outsider one whit. For
instance. the dope sheets" of a profess
sional market tipster contained a note
yesterday TO the effect that such and
such a piece OF information did not
come from pool sources" Missionary
work of all kinds is going on at full
