Each carton is to bear a sticker which, how- ever, will differ from the one now in use on cut-price raisins in that no price will be men- tioned ther The trade has been for some Jittle time expecting the sale of this big block of raisins to the seeding company and the deal had been to some extent discounted. As high a price as 6c for the seeded stock had not been lookea for, hoyever, the general ex- pectatic been that the quotation would be from c. At 6c the trade probably er to take hoid, although stocks of seeded on the spot are light and there is fair demand.

Looge raisins are in very light supply in this market and the scarcity, th the clean-up on the coast, led to a rather setive buying movement on the spot, o num- ber of lots. mostly less than carlots, being picked up around Skc.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—General conditions, in- | dependent of the strike situation, received | more consideration to-day than for some time and were reflected in higher prices for securi- | ties. The absence during the greater part of the day of any sensational strike news, com- bined with the support which the United States Steel stocks received after their opening | weakness, also alded the improvement. These | conditions underwent a radical change in the finel dgalings when a report was current that orders Tor a general strike of the steel workers would be issued to-night. The professional operators promptly put out large short lines and brought about declines of from 1 to about 3 points in the most prominent stocks. The market in detail practically showed a pretty steady improvement from the outset, the only real setbacks which were forced by realiza- tions being quickly overcome by a good di mand for both accounts and evidences of in- side support. London’s attitude was regarded | with some interest, but arbitrage operations | proved small and were without influence. News from: the crop regions was more encouraging and was supplemented by the weekly Govern- ment crop report, which indicated improved conditions at important points. The outlook for a large crop of epring and winter wheat, | in addition to some exceptional railroad earn- ings, also helped to sustain prices. Support was noticeable for stocks which were especially | weak yesterday, these Including the Eastern trunk lines Southwesterns, Tractions and Pa- cifics, where improvements had been made of from: 1 to 3% points. Sugar felt an early re- sumption of yesterday's weakness, but after losing a point sold up four. All these gals ‘were considerably reduced during the late sell- ing movement and net gains were limited to fractions. Trading in the steel stocks was comparatively light and there were not many large individual blocks. But 6000 shares were Gealt in_at the opening at a gain of 1 per cent. The stock soon yielded”3 below yes- terday’s close, but later on got % above and | ended unchanged for the day. Pressure was | noted against the preferred right from the start, but after yielding % it got 1§ above vesterday's final figures and ended with a loss of %. Money rates ruled easy to-day and the chief feature of this department was the debit of 81,392,198 by the sub-treasury at | the clearing-house this morning on account of | drafts wn against gold deposited at Pa- cific Coast points en route from the Klondike. Foreign exchange rates were firmer to-day, de- mand bills bringing $ §7%, with the demand only moderate. Railroad bonds were qulet to-day and the price movement was irregular. Total sales 31,075, 000. 4 The closing of the stock market was weak, with business in increasing volume. United | States bonds were all unchanged on the last | call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST.

In addition it was belleved the recent heavy movement to the other side would show a decrease when the seaports were heard from. These considerations in a re- stricted market had their natural effect at the beginning of business, September opening %@%c under yesterday at 70%@70%c. On cov- ering a smali line of short wheat the price Was run up to 70%c within five minutes of the opening. For some time thereafter the tone was weak, sympathy with corn and the heavy receipts being depressing factors. Selling was on an extremely moderate scale, but prices did not steady until September was quoted at 69%c. A sharp rally to 70%c followed on re- ports of heavy export sales, but the absence of confirmation of these reports resulted In an equally sharp decline to 70c and the close found the market weak, September %@%c un- der yesterday at 70@70% Nervousness caused a rather narrow flutter- ing of prices In the corn market, but while messages from the West were of the usual gloomy tenor the feeling that all drought dam- oges had been liberally discounted was the ruling factor in the market. The volume of trade’ was small. September corn closed lc under yesterday at 56%c. With' purely local conditions governing sen- timent the oats market ruled dull and nar- |- row. September closed 3c lower at 3%c. Provisions for September delivery ruled dull and easy In sympathy with lower hog prices and also with corn. Pork closed 20c lower, lard 12%c down and ribs 10@12c lower. The leading futures ranged as follow: Articles— Open. High. Low. Close.

The demand for wool continues good and the tone is strong. The market continues to show an absence of speculative feeling, sales made Delng to supply the present needs of manufac- turers. The supply of wool available is large, the curtailed consumption by the mills dur- ing last week allowing considerable surplus to accumulate. The activity of the mills during the past few weeks, however, has cut into the surplus, but, with the new clip coming upon the market,’ there Is no scarcity of general supplies.

Chicago opened steady and moderately active, but fell off at the close. There was a good cash business. France accepted Monday's offers. . Speculation was broadening. The Northwest was selling' and the Southwest buying at St Louls. Receipts were . 130,000 bushels, against 250,000 on the same date last year. New York reported over 500,000 bushels taken for export, with 40 loads more taken yesterday.

The situ- ation is explained under the head of Barley. The market rules firm and sellers make no concessions. The demand in the city market is not very brisk, but as, previously mentioned the Government is in the market for 4000 tons of old Oats for Manila, and this, with the Western demand mentioned above and the speculative inquiry already spoken of, tends to render the tone quite firm.

Dried Fruits, Nuts and Raisins. Almost everything under this'head is in much better shape than a fortnight ago. The recent remarkable sales of Prunes and Raisins have pretty well cleaned up the market for these two descriptions, and given prices a much firmer tone. The Prune crop will be very light everywhere, and the official can- vass of Sonoma County by the association shows only 25 or 30 per cent of a crop there. The Santa Clara Valley is also very light. The demand for Apples, Peaches and Apri- cots continues heavy at firm prices, and Pears promise to open high. There is no talk of Plums or new Prunes yet.

Quotations for new goods are nominal, though buyers would take hold at 13%c. The circular of W. B. Sumner & Co. says: Wet Salted Hides are in good demand, and locally there is every indication for a steady market. There was a slight advance during the month of July, but the higher figures could not be maintained and prices were reduced to the quotations of our last prices current. Dry Hides and Calf are wanted and prices are well maintained in the local market. Horse Hide market is stronger, and only limited quantities are being received. Deer Skins at the present prices are on good trading basis, and sell freely. The Wool market has greatly improved and a number of good sized sales have been made.
