Reporte by mail from New York say: “Prunes continue in active demand on the spot and the market is very strong both here and in Cal- ifornia. The Cured Fruit Association is offer- ing mo goods nominally, but small sizes are offered by the parties who made the recent purchases on the coast at a 3-cent basis. Other gizes are firm, held on the same basis by speculators or packers. Raisins are firm on the spot, with a very good demand reported for sceded in cartons at 6%@7%c. Some buy- ing of carlots is reported at Gc f. o. b. The coast market for loose raisins is stronger, one of the packers in the seeded ralsin syndicate which recently bought the association holdings naming a price yesterday of 4%c f. 0. b coast for Pacific 3-crown raisins ‘for mincemeat pur- poses’ Imported raisins are dull locally.

McADIE, Forecast Official. ; can- orchardists EASTERN MARKETS. E: ! | *- New York Stock Market. NEW YORK. Aug. S.—Developments in the stock market to-day favored operations for the long account and the demand, which was broader than for some time, carried many properties to a substantfally.higher level. In- dications were not wanting to show that traders were attaching more importance to the character of the crop mews and the high ratio of railroad earnings. These considera- | tions outweighed the early repressive influence | on the market by the announcement of the steel strike and stocks were purchased with | an apparent great show of confidence. Un- vsual prominence was given to the trading in the steel stocks, owing to the frequency with which large blocks changed hands at a rising scale. Professional operators were inclined to cover shorts in these issues, owing to the re- sumption of work at some plants and the of- | ficlal announcement of the absorption of the | Shelby Tube Works. When the prices of steel | level 244@2 points respectively above yester- day's close for the common and preferred the general market kept pace with the movement and_exceeded those gains in some instances. | There were many interruptions to the generai | rise during the day by profit taking and short | selling by the room operators, but the reces- sions were not very noteworthy except for the | United States Steel stocks, which ended about a point below the best when a report clrc lated that a prominent operator was unload- ing stock purchased at a much lower level. | This selling soon affected the other market, but semi-stagnation soon resulted and the clos- ing dealings showed steadiness. Conspicuous | strength was displaved by St. Paul, Union Pa- | cific, Missouri Pacific, Sugar and Lackawanna, | which were from 1% to 5 points higher and led | the gains in their respective groups. The | declaration of only the regular dividend on | Tnion Pacific was without effect on. the stock. | the price in fact ruling at 9%. the best price of the day, when the announcement was made, No explanation was made of the rise to 9913 at the close by Missourl Pacific, but it was as- serted that a_speculative interest was respon- | sible for the movement. Stocks which usually | do’ not attain prominence in the dealings at- tracted some attention to-day owing to the | material character of their advances, the list | including Great Northern preferred, General Elecric, Consolidated Gas, Hocking Valley. | Colorado Southern first preferred, C. C. C. and | St. Louis, St. Lawrence and Adirondack and | Lake Erie and Western, which were 2@5 points | higher. i Monetary conditions were placed in a favor- able light by a steady gain by the banks on | sub-treasury operations. this morning’s state- | ment showing @ galn of over $1.000,000 on the | week thus far. Although sterling exchange rates continue upward no apprehension is felt of gold exports in the near futur The bond_market was strong to-day, ture being Mohawk and Malone incomes, which advanced nearly 6 points.

S.—September wheat was sold freely at the beginning of the session be- cause yesterday's frost scare proved to have been practically unfounded and because Liver- pool cables were easy. September opened K@¥ic lower at 71@71%c. The corn strength started a buying movement of fair proportions and dur- ing the first hour the market rose to 71%c. The fact that only elght loads were reported taken for foreign shipments, lighter seaboard clear- ances and optimistic ' crop reports from the spring wheat country later combined to create bearishness and September in consequence de- clined to 0%c and closed easy 1-5@%c under yesterday at 70%c. Corn was active. The Cincinnati Price Cur- rent remarked the probable necessity of are- ducing its previous crop estimate of 1.500,000,000 bushels by 100,000,000 or 200,000,000 bushels. This announcement gave the market a bullish im- petus early. The wheat weakness and profit taking caused a decline later, but the close was . %ec higher at 57%c for the September option. Oats were dull and fluctuations narrow. Sep- {ember closed steady, %@%c higher at 140 c. Provisions were quiet but steady early on buying by local people who sold yesterday.

Continued late boats have resulted in con- siderable congestion on the whary Thus ‘Wednesday's boats from the river did not get completely discharged until late that night, so vesterday's arrivals came in upon already Tull | wharves. The result was an overstocked mar- ket. Prices stood up all right as a rule, how- ever, as good sound fruit has been scarce all along and in good demand, the only kinds to | show any real weakness being Peaches and | Melons. " Supplies of both these descriptions | are very liberal, though Peaches for canning account are not in_over supply and show no weakness. Good Bartlett Pears bring top prices without difficulty, and the canners are taking all the Plums they can get. They are receiving a good deal of contract fruit just now, however, which they are obliged to take care of to the exclusion of the consigned fruit. DECIDUOUS FRUITS.
