The New York Commercial says: *‘During | the past week there was some additional de-| mand for old crop peaches. Some holders are | entirely cleaned out, and buyers appear to bfi\ experfencing some difficulty in filling their re- Quirements. There has been mno increase in | price, but everything now on the spot is held | firmer, and the tendency of prices is upward on all grades. No sales of new crop for for- ward are reported. There is an impression | that the opening will be 6X@6%c, but this price | 1s not given as officlal. “Spot apricots ere in more active demand | and prices tend upward, though no quotable advance in price has yet been made. There are few in first hands, except & few which ware reshipped from France, and 1t 1s said | those are controlled by one or two firms. Noth- ing new has developed in business for forward. There are offerings at About previous range of wn that any business rices, but it is not k | ias been done. It seems to be generally con- ceded that there must be some shading of prices before sales of any importance are made. “Prunes remain quiet and steady, with trade suffering, because of competition’ with fresh domestic fruits which are liked at this sea- gon. Crop reports do not vary much from will be larger, but Oregon and Washington previous statements. The California output w to send out this & year end- ing June & 5 pounds. For the first months of the vear cnding June | 30, 189, the was 5,461,026 pounds, & gliortage of 10,479,765 pounds, or 440 cars. The Q ty now held on the comst is estimated | at 300 cars or near that. These figures prove that had the export demand been as large as usual not a car would now be left. The Jatest estimate on the 159 crop in France ls 000,000 pounds , compared with 58,000,000 pounds actually harvested last year. The 167 Crop was about 30,000,000 pounds. The indi- catlons are, therefore, that this year's de- mand will be quite as large as in 1887, whalch, assum estimates of the prob- able ou and Washington to be reasonably 1l put California’s pro Quet in an exceptionally strong position this fall. “Trade in currants is small.

FRUIT AND SALMON IN ENGLAND, | “‘California fruits continue in good demand | at firm rates. For the 1539 pack canners have | ‘withdrawn thelr offers, but resales have taken place at hardening rates,” says the London | Grocers' Gazette, and reports the salmon mar- ket as follows: ‘‘There is no quotable change in this market. The consumptive demand has im- roved slightl but the Inquiry from first ands is_extremely limited, and as a matter of fact deale: are in some cases offering at Jower prices than those demanded by packers’ agents. The position of this market is at the present time a somewhat curious one. On the one hand packers state that prices must go higher in consequence of the increased cost of production, the demand from the United States for all asses of tinned provisions is £0 great that packers can get their own prices from that market. Many of the dealers and wholesale houses here, however, take the op- posite ew, belng of opinion that the market is at present too high, and they support their opinion by selling’ from the stocks they hold | on hand at less than they can purchase at the | present moment.”” | WEATHER REPORT.

NEW YORK, July 1L.—The stock market strikingly demonstrated its inherent strength to-day with a practical recovery of yester- day's losses. The closing prices to-day were | only slightly below thcse of Saturday and in | some exceptional cases sharply above. The only conditions In which any change had taken place were purely technical. These were the *lmination of a weakly margined long ac- count and the creation of a short interest. Tondon began to sell stocks in New York at the opening to-day as it did yesterday, but instead of coming upon a large amount of Dearly exhausted margins, &s was the ca esterday, the opening decline invited buying cover the short contracts put out yesterday. The buying from this source afforded the prin- cipal support to the market in the early dea fnge. 1t was particularly marked In" Sugar and the New York Traction and Gas stocks, hich suffered most severely from bear raid- ing yesterday. By the time this short interest had been covered the market came to & standstill, the bulls apparently lacking cour- to push their advantage in the face of the continued firmness of the money market, which hield quite firmly about the legal rate for call money. _Slightly before noon, however, a de- fermined buying movement developed 'in the great trunk lines and with occasional intervals Spreading from one group to &pother) sco data—Maximum' temperature, Wednesday, with showers in | e untfl it embraced pretty much the whole other until it embraced pretty much the whole list. The agreement among the trunk lines to restore rates on grain to the seaboard Was ap- parently the cause of the origin of the buying in that group. St. Paul's increase in gross earnings for the first weak in July of $203,822 prompted the buying of the Grangers. “North- ern Pacific scored a_brilliant advance, recov- ering more than its dividend, which was taken off to-day. After a fractional reaction on pro- fessional profit-taking, prices were marked up again to near the best in the closing dealings. Bonds rallied somewbat from the early wealk- ness in sympathy with stocks, but are slightly lower on the day. Total sales par value 2,080,000.

CHICAGO, July 11.—September wheat opened about %c lower, at 72%@73c, sold between T2%c and 73%c, closed unchanged at 73c. Fair weather in the wheat belt and continued large primary receipts caused a degree of easiness at the atart, and a decline followed the opening. The decline was soon recovered. There Was irregular buying by the less confident shorts, who feared the influence of the Russlan crop failure, fresh confirmatory news of which was received to-day, and the absence of selling pressure of note was sufficlent to sustain prices. The market, however, was exceedingly narrow and price changes small until after noon, when trade broadened out somewhat. Bradstreet reported 175,000 bushels decrease in the world’'s visible, and reports were received of damage to Wisconsin's spring wheat. The price was advanced to 73%c, the highest point of the day. Trade became dull again toward the close, and the pit at times was half empty, with the easiness usually a feature of Darrow trading. Corn was dull, but fairly steady. Prices fol- lowed wheat, September closing unchanged. Oats were extremely dull, but steady. Sep- ber closed %c lower than yesterday. Provisions were firm and fairly setive. Speculative demand, both local and from out- side, was good, and prices averaged slightly higher all day.

HIDES, TALLOW, WOOL AND HOPS. Hops can be sold at 12ic for future delivery, but the growers decline to accept this figure. The advance in Wool has checked the de- mand, and the market is quieter. Several de- scriptions are marked up, as will be seen. The circular of Sumner & Co. says of Hides: “The Hide business has been quite active Quring the last month. Sales have been made readily at advanced prices, and tanners have bought freely, and as the inferfor and lower grades of Hides have been shipped to the East- ern market, there is little or no surplus stock in the market. Harness and skirting leather have \been seliing readily for the past few months, and the better grade of Hides, those that are well taken off and free from brands and damage, command liberal values. ~Wet Salted Heavy Steers are in demand for har- ness and skirting leather. Wet Salted Medium and Light Steers are active. Wet Salted Cows Eell readily at full prices. Wet Salted Kip, Veal ‘and Calf are very firm and rule at full rates. Dry Hides are firm. The prices for Dry Flint Hides are very close to the values which are obtainable In the East. Deer Skina are more active and values are made at higher flg- ures than before. We quote the summer and medium skins in demand, and the winter, poor and thin skins are fairly active. Goat Skins are very qulet, but small quantities come to this market, and at preseni rew Goat Skins as a rule are tanned in California. “During the past month Tallow has been somewhat weaker, owing to large supplies com- ing in from California and the neighboring lo- calities. The market, however, 18 well sus- tained and prices firm, and in all probability the present values will continue for some time.’ HIDES AND SKINS—Culls and brands sell about lc under the quotations.

Harrison's circular says: ‘*‘Since the Ala- meda left the following vessels have deliv- ered coal cargoes from Australfa: Benares, 2577 toms; Rufus E. Wood, 7120 tons; Hecla, 2132 tons; total, 13,325 tons. The number of vessels chartered in Australia to load coal for here is about the same as when the last mail left, footing up about 92,000 tons capacity. A number of these will not arrive here this year. The principal activity in the fuel line for the moment is the demand from Honolulu, engage- ments having been made this week for sev- eral vessels to load Colonial coal for Honolulu into May, 1500. This strongly evidences the scarcity of tonnage for early loading there, and will divert orders to the British Columbia collieries for early loadings to Hawail, for which extreme prices will be procurable. Busi- ness locally s fair, and prices are well sus- tained. Coal freights from Newcastle and Syd- ney are firmly held, so that any cheap tuel from those sections cannot be looked for for several months at least. Outward grain freights are strengthening, which should in ordinary seasons cause an influx of low priced coals, but there seems to be a very active demand for tonnage all over the world, hence this will e year for low frelghts from any CORLAGE—Manila, 12¢; Sisal, 11%c; Bale lic; Duplex, 10%c "basis.
