NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The Evening Post's London financial wablegram says: The stoch market opened here good to-day on the more cheerful political outlook &s represented in the morning papers; on the better prices in Parls, but there was a sharp reaction later om dull- ness In the Paris bourse and on the chilled op- timism here and prices closed generally dull. The decline was made marked in such Kaffir specialties as were dealt in in Paris. Consols were exceptionally broken, due to & covering by bears and the fact that money is cheaper than ad been looked for. Americans opened good, the demand being chiefly for coal stocks. Only Northwestern was bought freely. The prices gave way later on, on selling and the market was_flat, Northern Pacific was especially of- fered. Argentines were good on a drop of six points in the gold premium. The London market discount sale is 1% per cent. " The tone is easier on the falling off in | the supply of American bills, while it is no- ticed that the bills maturing here are paid off and not renewed.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—Wheat exhibited some | hesttancy during the first half hour's trading. Receipts in the Northwest were exceptionally | heavy, and though the crowd was in a meas- ure prepared for this yet enough liquidation | and short selling resulted In prices settling f | & time. This show of weakness was only te: | porary, however. Notwithstanding the heavy receipts prices at Duluth, eepecially for cash wheat, were firm, and this fact caused a bull- ish feeltng to gradually develop. Besides the firmness of the Northern market prices here were helped to a certain extent by the small Russian_shipments, 1,200,000 bushels, and the | receipts both here and at' New York of numer- ous forelgn buying orders. Many of the early sellers turned buyers and in the absence of any particular selling pressure December re- covered its early loss, advancing to 62%c be- fore the demand was satisfied. For some time after that price was reached the market ruled very dull, but was steady until after the vis- ible supply statement was completed. This showed an increase of 1,782,000 bushels, making the total 10,188,000 bushels, compared with 1,- 140,000 bushels a year ago. The figures were a distinct disappofntment to bull traders, as an increase of not over 500,000 was looked for, Rt o 188 | and the market was affected at once. In the So Rallway | afternoon the market became very dull again vy and continued so until the close. September » Southern Prasanttats and December each declined e.

It was remarked last week that the Hay market had passed Into stronger hands, and that thereafter it would be kept up by main strength If necessary. This is proven by yes- terday's market. The receipts were over 1600 tons, yet prices actually advanced, as will be geen by the quotations. Oat Hay, which has been the weakest kind on the list all along, is now one of the firmest and is in quick demand. Good wheat is also wanted. Dealers rather expect a further advance to-day, if the re- ceipts are not too exeessive. .

DECIDUOUS AND CITRUS FRUITS. The markets under this head are now tame and uninteresting. There 1s a marked falling off In receipts and the sidewalks are not eo crowded with boxes. Peaches are weak and quiet. Melons are slow. Wine Grapes will be the prominent fruft from now on, and from present indications will sell lower than last year and the year before. The crop will be short, around the bay at least, owing to the dry season. Zinfandels sold yesterday at $14 per ton. DECIDUOUS FRUITS— Strawberries, §2G3 per chest for large and $6@S for small.

DRIED FRUITS, NUTS, RAISINS, ETC. The diminutive size of Prunes this year is the talk of the street. They never were so small before. A good many of them are run- ning from 100 to 130, and those larger than 60 will form a very small fraction of the crop. The average, taking the State all through, will range somewhere about §0-90. The market for everything is quiet, but all dealers look for an Improved demand, and possibly improved prices, within the next three or four weeks. Some changes in quota- tions will be observed.

There was the usual good business in local securities, with strong quotations for the sugar stocks. ' The Galena Mining Company of Utah has levied an assessment of 10c per share, The United States Smokeless Powder Com- pany has levied an assessment of 25c per share, delinquent October 6. The Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Company will pay a monthly dividend of §0c per share to-day. Speclal meetings of the stockholders of the Ophir, Best & Belcher and Savage mining companies will be held to-day for the purpose of authorizing a_ reduction of capitalization. The par value of Ophir and Best & Belcher stock s to be reduced to §3 per share, and that of the Savage to $2 50 per share. The formation of the Comstock Pumping As- sociation, composed of the presidents of the different ‘Comstock mines, is the last step thus far taken in the direction of deep mining on the Comstock. The next will be the estabilsh- ment of a pumping plant to drain the lower levels, though those mines which do not need drainage will be explored first. Thus far the project has been carried on smoothly.” The official statement of the operations in the Serra Nevada mine for the week ending September 17 is as foliows: Riley tunnel—Dur- ing the week extracted 15 mining cars of ore from the eighth floor. The average assay of samples taken from the face was gold $20 $4, silver 7 ounces per ton.
