FURTHER CAUTION
IN STEEL MARKET.
Copper Trade Quiet During

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-The steel
market has given further evidence of
slowing down in some directions, with
feeling of caution quite general.
Values are well maintained and pro-
duction Is active, but mills are rapidly
catching up with their orders and
buyers are no longer willing to pay
premiums for prompt delivery. The
situation is considered to be healthy.
however, and requirements are be-
lieved to be large. Pig iron has con-
tinued quiet and as production is large
prices are slightly easier and in some
cases lower.
Copper is easier, with only a small
or no interest and there is no indica-
tion that the lower prices recently
quoted for both rolled and drawn pro-
oucts have stimulated domestic de-
mand. The tone has also been un-
favorably affected by the contraction
of building operations and the lessened
demand for railroad equipment 1t is
believed that supplies in second hands
are small. but there has been some
price shading on small lots and some
of the producers have also shown a
disposition TO consider lower figures.
Tin showed little net change for
the week. Dealers appear to have
picked up all the cheap offerings, but
consuming interests are indisposed to
contract ahead.
Lead steady with consumers seek
ing prompt metal, but showing little
interest in futures.
Zinc has weakened again under in
creased offerings and the weakness
abroad. Demand continues slow.
Antimony also developed further
weakness because of slack demand.

ERRATIC WEEK ON CURB.

NEW YORK, May 26-The curb al

ness on several occasions in the past
week. Many stocks were pressed at
concessions in the first few days, but
in the last half of the week the stu
alton was essentially changed and
the early losses were reduced or more
than recovered. Liquidation was an
important factor in forcing the de-
clines. some issues being without

occurred. showing losses ranging

were equally violent

Richest Men in World.
Richest Families Also Named.

Some explanations are necessary in
these items. said the New York Times
in a recent article. More pressing is
the need of accounting for some pal
pable omissions. The Rothschilds
will occur to any one. glancing over
the list. But the Rothschilds come
in another class-those whose for
tunes cannot be credited to any indi-
vidual. but belong to a family.
In this second category the leaders
are:
The Rothschilds-s25o,0o 100000 to
$500, ,000. 600
The Guggenheims-s2oo.o 100000.

The weyerhaeusers-Fr $780,
000.000,up.
less than $100.000.00O to 100000, 900 (;
the lower figure is probably nearer
the truth.
The Mellons-s75,O 900, 900, two-thirds
of which is credited to A. w. Mellon,
Secretary of the Treasury.
The family group should properly
embrace the Rock efellers including
John D. Rockefeller. jr. Baron Mitsui
perhaps belongs here, too. for he is
the head of a clan; with him should
is second only to the Mitsuis. But
the wealth of families is even harder
to estimate than that of individuals.
Consider the Rothschilds; they are
scattered all over Europe.
In the case of John d. Rockefeller a
complete estimate of his wealth would
have to take notice of the $500. .o00, 900
he gave to charity and to foundations.
Who Multi-Millionaires Are.
The Duke of Westminster's wealth
