The principal movement was in St. Paul | and Louisville and Nashville, and the extreme | sdvance of 5% in the latter and 3% in the former had considerable sympathetic effect on the raflroad list generally. There was a brisk | buying of Reading, nominally based on the | supposition that the end of the coal strike is Menhattan was largely bought, by the | speculative interests, which have been accu- mulating the stock for some time. There was & notable disposition to advance on the part | of & number of minor low-priced industrials, the rafiway equipment companies. During the final hour the professional oper- &tors, whose buying had advanced prices, took their pr generally with the result that final prices for a number of leading stocks are from 1 to Z points lower than the best. Net gains are very gemerally indicated for the day, nevertheless. “The special ground for the movi ment in St. Paul was the publication of a re- | port that ent stock subseription priv- fleges are accrue ghortly.

Fancy stock for local use commanded full figures, but shipping stock was off. There is very little shipping at present and supplies are accumulating, Fancy Salinas were in light supply and eagerly sought for by the local trade, but inferior stock was offering freely at low prices and found few buyers. Sweets continued casy. Another car came in from Merced. Onlons were easler un- der heavy supplles and a light demand. Oc- caslonal fancy lots brought bbc_per ctl. Although a combination has been formed to control the Tomatoes from some sections around the bay, supplies were liberal and well distributed throughout the market. An easier fecling prevailed in consequence, and only strictly fancy offerings brought the top rate. The canners secured some at the bottom quota. tion. Summer Squash and Lima Beans were in_light supply and higher.

As San Francisco prices for butter have lately been quoted considerably above other coast points, several districts, which have not heretofore shipped to this market, are now sending in their product right along. While a good deal of this Butter is choice to fancy, the brands are new and strange here, hence these goods do mot bring as much as Butter of the same quality the brands of which are known. This applies to many of the San Joaquin creameres. Oregon 1Is also ship- | ping in liberally to get the benefit of the quoted | prices, and the steamer Arcata from Marshfleld Yesterday brought down 157 boxes, 11 bbls and 19 cubes of Butter and 965 Cheeses. The market is quoted dull by the trade generally, an though prices are no lower, the disposition is to sell, even at concessions if necessary. Cheese rules firm at the mprovement al- ready noted. There is no further advance in Eggs, and the market is quiet, though stocks and receipts are light. The high prices check the demand.

The top quota- tion was easily obtalned for No. 1 stock. There! were very few Misslon offering. Table Grapes in crates were easy, there being no shipping, Large end small boxes were pur- chased liberally by the local trade at good prices, Peaches, Plums and Prunmes continued dull, Receipts of'fresh stock were light, but the market was overloaded with carried-over stock, Fancy Apples and Pears were scarce and readily commanded full figures. Figs were in excessive supply and some of the re- ceipts came to hand in poor condition. Quinces, Pomegranates and Nectarines dragged at un- Melons wers in free supply and although the demand was brisk prices were no higher. There was not much doing in_Citrus and Tropical fruits. Huckleberries were offering freely again and prices declined. Strawberries and Raspberries were unchanged, but Blackberries were firmer, supplies being light. Cranberries have appeared from Coos Bay.
