LARGE CROPS THIS YEAR PROMISE CON- TINUED PROSPERITY FOR AN OTHER YEAR. The New York circular of Henry Clews says: ““More now depends upon the harvests than upon any other single element. The outlook in this respect continues encouraging. Corn, pivotal crop this year, promises well; and, if conditions continue favorable, we may have a bumper crop, the acreage being the largest on record and condition above the average. The crop situation now is, therefore, in strikingly favorable contrast compared with 1901, except 2= to wheat, which proved a bumper crop. Tl ¥ear, however, we are promised wheat in plen: &nd to spare for export. Oats are in satisfac- tory condition, and the cotton crop promises a large vield, even if early estimates have fo be modified. So far, then, the indications are that we shall have abundant harvests and a £00d foreign demand for our surplus. This is of vast importance to the business community, for it assures at least one more season of na tional prosperity, which there were not a few Teasons to believe had, for the present at least, reached the zenith. Another crop fallure would certainly have precipitated a reaction, not mere- ly in the stock market, where it would be most distasteful, but in general business and indus- try, where expansion has been going along at a marveious rate beyond all expectations. Every week now serves to reduce the possibilities of such disaster and warrants a corresponding growth of confidence . ““The last monthly foreign- trade returns pre- sent some striking facts. The merchandise ex- ports for June were only $59.250,000, the small- est total since August, 1898. During the twelve months of the fiscal year there was a decrease of $105,000,000 in exports, including $62,000,000 in corn, $21,000,000 in cotton and _$7,000,000 in oats. while wheat increased $20,000,000. This is the unsatisfactory side of our foreign trade, and fllustrates very plainly the effect of the corn_damage upon our foreign trade bal- ences. While our exports have been checked by poor harvests our imports have been won- fully stimulated by home prosperity, which not encouraged the importation of Juxu- | NEW YORK, July 24—The violent advance BOSTON STOCKS AND BONDS. 17 50; lavd, per 100 lbs, $10 60@10 short ries, but also forced the importation of larger | in a few stocks on the stock market to-day | Money— Do prefd’ ... ribs sides (loose), $10 45@10 55; dry ~ salted | quan; s of raw and half-manufactured ma- | took on an appearance of frothy effervescence | Call loans 3u%@4 Mining— shoulders (boxed), 9%@9%4c; short clear sides | als, motably steel billets and plates, 0T | 1y the later stages of the day's dealings. whicn | Time 1oans ... 4" @4% |Adventure .

The former jumped 3 cents {o a new record price—70 cents. The latter sold at 70c, but did not hold its strength. The cause of the upturn in oats was the bid- ding of shorts for several “tens,” and the re- luctance of traders to sell what they did not have. Recelpts Were light, 120 cars. Fair weather and good crop reports influencéd an early easy feeling but the jump to 70c for July atded prices of deferred futures for a time. Traders were very much dissatisfied with the situation of the pit. On all hands went up the wall of too much manipulation. Trade has fall- en ‘off greatly in the last few weeks. Spec- ulators are either fearful of the big fellows or are apathetic. In oats business was very light. Traders pointed to other pits, especially to corn, and remarked that the small crowd of traders’ indicated the feeling since the corner by the MGates crowd. They sald the spectacle of oats and corn prices on a level killed trade. The public was out of the market. The man who seems to control July new stuff let the crowd have a little at 70c, but the price closed strong, 3c up at that figure. September wor- ried uneasily between 34l%c and 34%c and cloged easy, %c down at 3ilac, Continued good weather, heavy recelpts and scattered liquidation depressed wheat. Trade was only in fair proportions and in this pit as in others, complaints were made of manipu- lation. There still continued a very light run of contract stuff in the arrivals which tended to restrict short selling. The crowd bought freely for a time of September but large inter- ests unstraddled from a September-December spread and sold September freely to all who wanted it. Cables were indifferent. On the lack of any sharp business prices worked down- ward. September opened },@%c to ¥c lower at 721 @72%c, dropped to i2c after touching 728,@72%c, and closed weak, 3},@%c lower at 72K@72%c. Corn was dull and inactive most of the day. The fact that July was bid up to 70c by a few shorts had almost no effect on other futures. There was no disposition to sell, yet buying was not good.

WHEAT—The foreign markets changes worthy of note. Chicago was lower, with a poor cash de- mand, though the millers were fair buyers. St. Louls reported that the farmers in that sec- tion were threshing out from 10 to 15 bushels per acre more than they expected, and were sending in for additional sacks.

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables. River Potatoes continued in excessive sup- ply and carrled-over stock was sold on the wharves at 15@25c per box or sack. The top quotation for Burbanks in boxes was obtained only in a few instances where the offerings were strictly choice. There was some inquiry for shipping yesterday, but it did not relieve the market much nor have any effect on prices. Onions were offering freely at easler prices and some poor stock sold below quotations. Some of the Green Corn in sacks was very poor, which accounts for the wide range of prices for that article. The market was over- stocked with Tomatoes and small boxes were almost unsalable. Good ripe offerings in large boxes sold readily, but there was a 16t of green stock received which was not wanted at any price. Peppers, Okra and Egg Plant were in free supply and prices were easy. Cucumbers and Summer Squash were dull at t the same prices.

Another advance in Butter and Eggs is re- ported. Two steamers are in from the North with Butter, hence spot stocks are rather larger now, but even with these fresh supplies there 1s not much on the market. The trade report that the advance is shutting off all outside orders, and that increasing supplies are ex- pected from now on. Cheese remains steady at previous prices, Eggs are not_selling as briskly now as they were, as the advance compels the retailers to ask 80¢, and enables the commission merchants to commence to work off their cold storage stock. There is a large quantity of this stor- age stock, and it will figure in the market from now on. The market is still quoted firm, how- ever. The Dairy, Exchange, which has not made any quotations for several months, has called a special meeting for to-day to consider the advisability of reissuing the daily quotations.

Recelpts of Berries were Itberal and all va- rletles were unchanged except Raspberries, which were lower. There were no Huckleber- ries received. Currants were very qull and some were.gold below the quotations. Cholce offerings of Apples, Plums, Prunes and Peaches sold readily under a good shipping demand. Poor and soft stock continued dull. Peaches in baskets were in rather light re ceipt and cleaned up early. Offerings in bulk sold readily. Apricots in small packages were steady under light supplies. Choice lots in bulk readily commanded the top quotation. Prices of Bartlett Pears in large open boxes showed a wide range. owing to the abundance of poor stock. White Nectarines were offering freely and met with slow sale. Fontainbleau Grapes were offering freely and cholce stock sold at $1 in boxes and $1 25 in crates.

The market is still supported by the packers, and at yesterday's advance the longs immedi- ately began to sell. Private advices expressed the “opinion that the large holders may find | difficulty in marketing their holdings at eur- rent prices. All futures are selling at a dis- count and the cash demand will therefore be limited to actual needs. The San Francisco market continues dull and unchanged.

Local Hop dealers report the market firm but quiet and do not expect any more business until the new crop actually comes in. Mall advices from New York say: enter into contracts for 1902 hops at the prices demanded. The market seems to be in a state of waiting for further crop developments, but has a very strong undertone. Coast reports of the crop situation indicate favorable conditions and. large output. There is some vermin in Oregon which may affect quality. State mall advices are to the effect that a marked im- | provement has occurred during the past iwer| weeks in the better class of yards and that the crop is now estimated at a third to three- fifths of that of last year. A private cable from London received this morning says that ‘crop prospects have improved and the output is estimated at 400,000 cwt. German letters say that the Continental plantations continue to show improvement under favorable weather, and that German merchants are preparing to do a large business in the United States this fall in view of the expectation that prices will be high here.
