All visions of a heavy speculative trade at the expense of Chicago, wHose quota- tions were cut off from the tickers to-day and replaced by New York prices, vanished. In- stead of clamorous activity there was holiday dullness most of the session, so profound at times that messenger boys nodded and pit traders sat around the ring edge In fantastic attitudes waiting for the country' to appreciate Chicago's bad form and exclusiveness and send their orders to New. York. But somehow the public was slow to change its custom and or- ders did" not come in as expected, brokers said the test was not a fair one; more time should be allowed, that news anyway did not warrant much activity. Others sat around and gloomily watched the Chicago board, where prices were occasionally chalked down as they dribbled in’over private wires, wishing again for the merry: ticks which formerly kept the two markets In constant touch. During the first hour just.twenty wheat and eleven corn quotations were received from Chicago, while a couple of million. bushels would cover the morning transactions at New York. Later in the day, however, business picked un .a little and ‘with it came advancing prices, based on | a better demand for cash property at the West, both for domestic and export purposes. prices, which weré top for the day, showed & @%c advances over Tuesday night. Future | sales were about ,000 bushels. 1 California Fruit Sales. | *- * CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—The Earl Fruit Company s0ld California fruit at auction to-day, realiz- ing the following prices: @165 box, average $143, half box average $l.

The cordition of the Apricot, Prune and other fruit crops will be found in the Govern- ment report in the first column. ‘It reports a lessenea Prune yleld, owing to the severs June | and July ‘‘drop.*’ | Thus far the Cured Fruit Association has apparently made a hit by holding back the opening prices, for the expected scarcity in the | in the New | York market. It seems that the longer the opening prices are kept back the firmer the market gets. The curse of the Prune market for the past four or five years has been the f | in July, which Invariably smashed the market for the balance of the season and lost millions of dollars to the Prune growers of the State. The association has the market in its own hands this year and its success or fallure will largely depend on the prices it sets. Growers are watching with great interest.
