Dedham, Mass, Feb. 19.-(UP)-Written in Hebraic and dated according to the Orthodox Jewish calendar, the will of the late Abram Veg linsky of Mills was filed for probate here today.

otto sommerich, of counsel for Josefowitz, said the money was placed in the vault in 1892, prior to the decree prohibiting private possession of gold. Josefowitz, an international money broker, is well- known here as well as in many Eu- ropean capitals.
 Attorney At Raid
 Sol R. Baden, another attorney tor Josefowitz, was at the vault by invitation" when secret service men raided 1t. He said his client had planned to remove the money very soon. Capt. William II. Houghton, secret service chief here, said the plan was to transfer the gold to Canada and then to Switzerland. Although the coins face value was s200,000, bankers said that due to devaluation of the dollar, Josefowitz could have realized $338, 1000 on them abroad at the present rate of ex- change for dollars.
 Treasury lawyers in Washington studied the case to determine the governments course of action.

PRICES UNSETTLED
ON TIN AND ZINC
Lead Market Is Quiet and Firm.
While Copper Remains at
Unchanged Levels.
BY the Associated Press.

oS tHr hoSOIAdtcu FEeSS.
NEW YORK, June 20.-Price un-
settlement In tin and zinc featured
an otherwise quiet situation in the
metals last week.
Tin suffered further decline Of IA
cents a pound, then regained a frac-
ton Of the loss. Buyers are display
ing only limited interest pending
the outcome OF the international COM
mittee meeting in Paris June rs, when
production quotas for the third quar-
ter will be decided.
Zinc ended the week at a decline
Of points, making the first drop
since February. Sentiment was dis
turbed apparently by lower world
markets and reports that resale zinc
was being offered at 485 cents a
pound, East st. Louis, or 81 q ton
under the market. Discouraging out
look for early unity on the continental
cartel was another upsetting influence.
Lead was quiet and firm and sellers
were expected to maintain an adamant
attitude on prices for some time. Buy
ing for July requirements on an active
scale is believed imminent, inasmuch
as about 80 per cent of requirements
for that period Is believed still un-
covered.
The May statistics showed an out
put Of 4l,500 tons, shipments Of SO, 100
tons and an increase in smelters'
stocks of 8,400 tons.
Copper continued quiet and steady
at unchanged prices. However, a re-
vlval of important consumer buying
is looked for because of activity in
other lines, especially steel.

RECORD PREDICTED
IN POWER INDUSTRY
Poor's Foresees New Volume Peak
for Six Months Period Ending
June 80, 1885.
erec Dispatch to The Star

Epecial D.Spatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 20-The electric
light and power industry will establish
q new volume record in the six months
period ending June 30, 1886, accord
ing to new report appearing in Poor's
Industry and Investment Surveys.
They forecast that production for this
half-yearly period will probably sur
pass the corresponding 1885 months
by more than 13 per cent.
The lower rates now in effect are
preventing dollar sales from rising to
an equal degree" continues the report.
However, gross operating revenues
should be approximately 5 per cent
above those of the corresponding 1885
months. Due in a large measure to
savings effected through refunding
operations net income may be esti-
mated at per cent above that re-
ported for the first six months of
1885.
In certain cases the effects of rate
reductions have not yet been absorbed
through increased sales But in other
cases the higher sales volume, follow
ing introduction of promotional rate
schedules, is already having salutary
effect on net income. The aggressive
campaigns being conducted by the in
dIstry as whole to increase sales of
electrical appliances are effectively
stimulating consumption"

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statistician)

NEW YORK, June 20-Commodity
prices bounded ahead this week with
drought headlines supplying most Of
the impetus.
The Associated Press weighted index
of IS important commodity prices ad-
vanced from 71.91 last week to 1901
and compares with TAI year ago.
This Is the sharpest rise experienced
by the index since the four month o
per cent decline began.
A recent Weather Bureau report
called attention to the fact that only
seven States had better than normal
rainfall during May-Texas, Kansas,
New Mexico. Louisiana, Florida, Ore
gon and Washington The parched
upper reaches of the Mississippi VAL
ley and southeast cotton States found
little call for umbrellas during the
period.
Crop deterioration in these areas is
important. but the extent is unknown.
Many farmers sloshed around CRATE
fully in the rain last week. The At
lantic seaboard, much of the South
and large sections of the Midwest
excepting the border States-had
showers. The Weather Bureau, how
ever, finds the amounts insufficient
to relieve critical situations"
Wheat in Critical Stage.
The Spring wheat crop, long In a
precarious moisture position, reached
a arifirol !, E,;o
responded to the threatened reduced
harvest by rocketing in all the impor-
tant markets. Bidding for supplies
at steadily higher prices, the trade
found quotations were more than per
cent higher at the close of the week.
Other grains swept up with wheat.
Rye duplicated its spectacular rise,
was up about cents on the week.
Oats and corn joined the professions,
although more conservatively.
Cotton lifted above II cents for the
first time since early in the year. Ru-
mors that the Government had lqui-
dated its July holdings without dis
turbing the market, combined with
drought reports from the Southeast
to prod buyers into action.
Staples for Mrs. Housewives larder
were marked up for the fifth week in
the wholesale markets. Cocoa nudged
ahead to the highest point in three
years, with visible supplies the small
est in years. Only sugar weakened
in this category, other gamers in
cluoed eggs, flour, lard and butter.
Cattle Prices Improve.
Cattle prices improved. The long
decline that has carried them down
IS per cent in the last six months has,
temporarily at least. been halted. Hogs
accompanied in the betterment, while
lambs dropped.
Industrial commodities reached new
low ground for the year. Rubber con-
tinued to reflect the outlook for larger
production next year by declining.
Turpentine and burlap also dipped.
Slow-moving bituminous coal chalked
up small gain.
Textiles were higher under the lead
ership of rayon and cotton cloth. Silk
slipped following the sharp upturn
last week, apparently on technical
considerations. Wool also eased.
Non-ferrous metals; antimony, tin
and zinc, were weak.
