NEW YORK, May 28.—Upon the resumption of business in the London metal market to- day after a three days' holiday traders found that the boom which was in progress when that market closed on last Friday had com- pletely disappeared. Liquidation was the or- der of the day and before the decline was arrested a loss of £2 10s was the result, with the final phases of the market weak and spot quoted at £128 and futures at £120 178 6d. A good business was done at the lower level of values. Here, however, aside from a sym- pathetic decline of about 35 points, nothing in the way of important developments was noted, ! the market ruling dull and easy all day and finally closing casy, with spot quoted at $27 90 @28, Copper in London declined 3s to £60 1s 3d for spot and £69 i2s 6d for futures, owlng to a dull trade at that point. The local mar- ket for that metal also experienced an unin- demand belng absent, and prices ruled more or less nominal on the’ basis of $17 for Lake Superior and $16 62i¢ for cast- ing and electrolytic. The steadiness of pig lead, however, was chiefly the result of the | strength in London, prices there advancing 7s 6d, closing at €12 8s 9. The close here was steady at $4 37% for lots of fifty tons or over. Spelter ruled dull here at $3 95@4. In London, however, a loss of 53 was scored, closing at Domestle iron markets were some- in tone, but were not quotably lower. Middlesboro 455 41ad. Jew )'m'; Co!?mz Market.

WHEAT—The foreign markets were feature- less, as it was a holiday at Liverpocl and Paris. At Chicago there was quite a crop of damage reports, which strengthened the market and led to an increasing demand for September deliv- ery. Odessa reported the prospects less satis- factory, with rain needed. Topeka wired that latest advices from country shippers reported that the damage in Kansas was considerably more than anticipated and that estimates of the State’s yiéld had been reduced_ to 55,000,000 or 60,000,000, bushels. Columbus, Neb., 'wired that unless rain fell soon the crop in that re- glon would be a failure. Iilinos reported con- tinued damage by Hessian fly. The crowd bought on crop damage reports from the North- mest and the Northwegterners covered thelr shorts.
