NEW YORK, Aug. &—The stock market was a dull affair for the greater part of to-day, c ng. lassly within a narrow range. B strength was shown by a few isolated stocks throughout the day under the influence which was not disclosed by any published news. This persistent strength in some spots seemed | to arouse the apprehenst last hour of the market. The in which prices were marked up in the late deal- ings indicated a good deal of a scramble by the shorts to cover their contracts and awak- ened more appearance of animation and etrength than has been seen In the market for some time. The higher prices for Americans maie in London were without much effect and manner they were for the most part nominal, and London sold from 12,600 to 15,000 shares here after the opening.

Interest in the market, which has Leen slack for vs, was, if possible, even duller than and’ the market for the greater part of the session kept within a range of %c due to a decline at Liverpool of %d since Fr day. This was double the decline in the local market since that day and coupled with the continued absence of foreign inquiry for Amer- fcan Wheat kept prices on the down grads during most of the day. It was apparently the prevailing opinion that it was a hopeless task to attempt to bull the market while there so little demand for Wheat abroad, and ie was againet puts, which price— 8. 68%c—the market de ed shortly after the opening There was tterad selling by the northwest and by local amission houses, but outside slack. September longs were inclined to trans- fer their deals from that month to Decem ber and buying of the latter against sales of September had a tendency to widen the spread between these months to the advantage of the vesterda what little buying was ds to carriers tember got n to 68%c. A slightly better feeling developed near the close, rts being fair buyers at the bottom and market rallled slightly, closing at 65l@ Corn was fully as dull as Wheat, but much steadier.

The | earry-over promises to be larger than holders wish, but still if the present rate of distribu- tion continues there wiil be comparatively few in this market. On the coast some 300 cars may be left, though probably this is an outside estimate and may not be borne out by facts.

Oregon will not send out over 300 ‘cars, as against an anticipated output of 1000 cars. The market should, there- fore, prove favorable for high prices on Cali- fornias, and holders are looking forward to brisk trade. “‘Peaches’ are quiet and held firmly up to quotations. There are rumors of sales of sev- eral cars for forward delivery at private prices. but no_confirmation of the report is obtain- | able. New crop will not be along until next | month or toward the last of this. Quotations are around 6ic for future delivery, and holders show no disposition to shade the 'figures. “Apricots continue steady, with sales at 9@9%c. Buyers appear to be certain that a decline will follow the present strong situa- tion, but holders are apparently efjually cer- | tain’ that quotations will hold stiff at present rates. There is little business as a result of the divergence of views, and no one can tell | when the deadlock will be broken. | “‘Raisins attract some more attention than they did last week at this time, but sales are | now rather more quiet. Seedlings and ungraded | varieties are in most demand, and are held | firm. The outlook for business is encouraging, and good sales are expected. Reports concern: ing damage to the growing crop are vague. | and as yet do not exert much influence. If | there is any loss well informed dealers here say that it will be largely on first crop. Th: second crop will probably be safe and quite up to expectations.” - € % | California Fruit Sales. NEW YORK.

Since the Mariposa left, the following Aus- tralian coal cargoes were delivered here, viz.. Earl of Dunmore, 3375 tons; Carrollton, 2131 tons; Invercoe, 2347 tons; total, §253 tons. The total arrivals here of Colonial coal since June 1 up to date only foot up 27.278 tons, whereas in the same period last year the arrivals amounted to 60,279 tons. This Is very singular, as our crops this vear were declared better than the average five months ago, which would naturally have headed tonnage in this direction, whereas in 1868 at the same time our harvest was @& pro- nounced failure. This clearly demonstrates that there is an unprecedented demand for ton- nage everywhere, and we are now feeling its effects locally. The total coal tonnage listed for here from Newcastle and Sydney foots up 72,000 tons; last year in August it was 0,000 tor Last freight quotatlons from stle are quoted at l6s to 16s 6d per ton for prompt loading. Coal quotations are established now entirely the Coast Colliery Agents, as the small quantity of foreign coming to hand cuts a very small figure in making prices. No material ad- vance has been made, but the market is steady and later on better prices may be looked for, as coast tonnage is so scarce it Will be a task | to keep our local requirements fully supplied. | There will shortly be ome steam colliers added to our carrving fleet.
