Cilngs are of ex- Ity but scarce, and prices for extra ing stock have advanced. - Altogether the of Frees will be large and of poor quality, While there will probably be a large pack of Clings, a jarge portion of which will be extras. PrARS—There is probably the largest crop ever grown in the State, and the poorest ever known s to quality: winds and hot weather have sup- plemented the work that was begun by over- ¢rowding and 1ack of thinning by the growers: re- Ceipts are now at their height and there is a very large pack, the largest for several years, of poor standards and seconds; doubtless every contract for extras will be filled short, as it is not possible 1o procure any large proportion of good stock; we look for buyers’ prices for low grades. PruMs—The lightest pack known for years: is very short, but of zood quality; prices of ining stock are very high: most packers are t00 bus- on peaches and pearsto bother with them.

Notuing of an official churacter could be obtained on this score up_to the close of business at the Stock .xchange. The heaviness of steriing exchange, the demand for the metal and the in- ability to obtain time money strengthens the be- lief that there will be further importations in the near future.

Aug. 19.—The inclination among local traders in wheat was to look for & rally to-aay and prices responsive to falr buying dispiayed & better tone and advanced a littie dur- ing the morning hours. A numberof parchasing orders which appeared at the opening were for foreign account and New York reported that there was some of the same kind in that market. Thls indicating as itdid a disposition on the part of Europeans to take hold inspired the home trade with greater confidence. Receipts at Chicago were 146 cars and 191,203 bushels were taken from store. The Northwest had 346 cars against 206 last Wednesday and 218 a year ago. Liverpool cables were steady. The posting of export clearances of wheat and flour aggregated 680,929 bushels, and was the occasion 0f tempo- rary firmuess, which disappeared upon the an- nouncement by Bradatreet’s of a decrease in the world’s stocks of only 516,000 bushels. Closing Paris cables were 20 {0 35 centimes higher for flour and unchanged for wheat. Antwerp was un- changed and Berlin 134 to 2 marks higher. Re- newed strength, which was ascribed to a better New York stock market and toa heavy importa- tion of gold, appeared in the last half-hour, the best figures of the day being then established.

CORN—Business in corn was slow, as compared with that of wheat and oats. It was & case where both sellers and buyers lacked the necessary nerve and confldence, and in consequence the mar- ket remained dull and listless. A8 10 tone and di rection they were regulated by the prevailing ten- dency of wheat. Kecelpts were b97 cars, and 470,073 bushels were withdrawn from store. Liverpool cables were firm. Pradstreets reported, an increase of 1,427,000 busbeis, kxport clear- ances were 241,609 bushels. May corn openedi4 2634¢, advanced to 2714c, closing &l 27%4c bid at @Ysc higher than yesterday. Estimated recelpts 1or to-morrow 440 cars. OATS—A steady demand for oats existed ail through the session. the inquiry being principally by shorts, who displayed no little uneasiness. There was naturally considerable buving for in- vestment, the belief in higher prices claiming not a jew adberents. Receipis were 206 cars and 10 524 bushels were wihdrawn from siore. Export clearances smounted to 75,000 bushels. Brad. street’s gave an increase in stocksof 460.000 bush- els. May Oats closed 14@34c bigher. Estimated Teceipts for to-morrow 166 cars.

COAL—A local circular says: **Alchough It is six weeks since the collieries recommenced work at Newecastle, only five vessels have been loaded for this port, thus demonstrating it will you take sev- eral months before the present engaged list will get their Coal cargoes. The delay is caused by the intervention of steamers and furnishing the local requirements. There are at present six vessels en route from Newcastle with about 18,000 tons, and four vessels from Sydney with about 10,000 tons. This is all that can possibly arrive here before the commencement of November, and as about all now afloat has been disposed pf, and the quantity not_excessive, present prices should sustain mselves within that time. Importers are so- Liciting to make contracts for loading at the lowest prices_ever before known to the trade. Colliery owners are making concessions and vessels are so- licitous to get nere, hence the delivery price here is cut very low. Tt is a great advantage toour manufacturers to secure 10w-cost fuel, but it Is a hardship on our Coast Coal producers Lo meet with such competition, where their output costs them so highly for labor, eic., as against the prevailing rates for hewing, etc, now exisung in the Colo- nies.” Wellingion, $8 @ ton: New Wellington, #8 P ton; Southfield Wellington, $7 50 @ tou: Seattle, $0@5 00: Bryant. §5; Coos Bay, $4 50 Wallsend, $7; ; Brymbo, 87 50 Cumberland, $13 50 ton in bulk and $15 Iu sks; Pennsylvania Anthracite $11 P ton; Welsh Anibracite, $9; Cannel, Rock Springs, Castle Gate and Pleasant Valley, $7 60: Coxe, $11@12 in bulk and $13 B ton in sks.

The Comstocks were firmer on the afternoon call, as will be seen by the ssles, which, however, did not increase in volume on sceount of the im- Pprovement in values. There was a rise in the Bodie stocks upon news of several strikes of ore in the Gildea and Fortuna veins in the Bodie Con. and a general improve- ment in the Bulwer Con. ‘The close was still firmer. H. M. Gorham has been appointed superintend- ent of the Savage mine 10 fill the vacancy caused by the death of R. P. Keating. The Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Company will pay a monthly dividend of 26 cents per share to-day. \ About 1000 tons of ore from the Con. Cal. & Va. mine having accumulated in the surface bins the shipment of the same to the Morgan mill began ‘Tuesday, and the mill began crushing yesterday. This ore was extracted from the north part of the mine, between the 1600 and 1650 levels, in and around the old stopes. In the Bodie Consolidated mine, on the 200 level, the long east crosscut was advanced nine feet in rather heavier rock and stopped. North drift from the same crosscut on a Small seam near the face was siarted and driven four feet with po improvement. The raise through the Gildea old stope is up twenty feet, showing sixieen inches of s0lid ore in the top which promises to be of good value. 350 level—Are preparing to work old fill- ings from the Fortuna vein jusi west of the shatt. 400 level—Fortuna vein raise in old fillings fs up | 20 feet. The material in the top is rather poor. 650-incline level—Nortb drift from Fortuna winze was advanced 8 feel, the ore becoming somewhat better again, but very narrow and hard. Are work- | ing under grea. disadvantages here and have stopped for the present. In the Bulwer Consolidated mine on the 200 level the stope avove No. 2 soutn crosscut east bas been opened 10 the oid_ground toward the south. Nos. 9 and 10 are now being driven, showing 5 or 8 inches of ore. On the (unnel level in raise 1 the quallty of the ore Is better, but the seam is small. No. 2 raise shows a small seam of high grade ore. Enst crosscut_from south drift was driven 5 feet, Cutting & smali seam of $15 to $20 rock. An Inter- mediate drifc from raise 1 was started from the old stope and advanced 6 feet, showing 6 inches of $60 rock. Extracted during the week a total of 14.2 tons of ore, assaying frm $15 to $82 per ton. BOARD SALES.

The multitude of tiny shells so often found on every foot of down turf is also very effica- cious in fattening and nourishing the animal.
