METALS Copper and spelter attracted the largest share of attention in the market for metals to-day and scored a very appreciable advance. Copper moved up 37% to 50 points, while spelter followed with a rise of 25 points. The other departments showed pro- nounced strength as well, but were not quot- ably higher. ~Tin was strong on heavy de- mand and an indifferent attitude of sellers. News from the West and abroad was of a character tending to support the position taken by local holders. At the close the Metal Ex- change called: Pig iron warrants firm at $8 50 nominal; Lake Copper, strong and higher at $16 621 bid and $16 asked; tin, strong, with $24 50 bid and $2%5 asked.

Money continued easy, and the nks were expected to make another gain in this week. The movement of money from interior and from California_continues heavily in favor of New York. The lowest price of the day was made in the final-hour, and selling at that time wiped out the gains in stocks made earlier in the day.

Since. the Alameda left there has been but one -arrival of coal from Australla—Birkdale, with 2394 tons. This is peculiarly exceptional to have but one arrival from Newcastle, N. S. W., in-one month; -this makes a delivery here of only 21,074 tons 'in three months, which is a very low ‘average as compared with the past. The very high ‘prevailing rates of freight on coal during 1398 have deterred speculators from investing, and:have forced some of our larg- est consumers to utilize other grades. This will be overcome this year, as prices are al- ready commencing to shape themselves for deliveries later on, at figures which will en- tice steam fuel consumers to return to Aus- tralian. A generous rainfall in February and March_ whl force. shipowners to -divert. their property in this direction, carrying coal prin- clpally at 50 cents to 75 cents per ton less than the ruling rates of last season. Early “load- ing ships are still receiving fair freights, as tonnage fs not plentiful ‘at present in Aus- tralian_waters, and_there is a brisk demand there for Valparaiso and the South Coast. There are at present engaged to carry coal here from Sydney and Newcastle thirty ves- s capacity of about 82,000 ; ten of these have already sailed, some of them will not load for six months yet. Ten of these are vessels owned in San Francisco, returning here after having discharged car- goes of lumber at different Australlan ports. The coast collieries are in arrears in their local deliveries of coal. The demand for. same has been so brisk, and the consumption at this season of the year Is always materially ificreased.
