Nevertheless, g was more prevalent that the coal ould reach an early amicable end and measures are to be taken by Secretary .aw that will shortly relieve the present strin- gency of the money market. His action was said to be in the nature of further large Gov- ernment. bond purchases, various interes,s being credited with holding large wmounts which would be shortly turned in. The sums named wged from $10,000,000 to §30,000,000, and the report was vigorously circulated throughout the street Wheiner there was any tounaation or not in the rumor, t money magket reflected greater ease than ome time past, call loans pening ai 9 per cent, the hignest, and then gradually shading to 5 per cent. Considerable attention was given to the report that there | would be certain modifications \in the terms proposed by the coal operators for the settle- ment of the sirike which would meet with less oppesition from the miners. Nothing definite regarding this report, though it was colored to some extent by heavy buying of Reading, which snowed considerable strength day. The dealings were smailer than uspal in other stocks of this class and there was & dis- position in general 10 await actual developments forc pursuing zclive Operations in this quer- ter.

The moveme was imainly upward, sithough checked st times by profit taking. & lacked the breadth and activity of sperations of the week, but there was ed undertc of confidence in the general uation. Sterling exchange rates made a fur- ther geciine to-Gmy, demand bills declining to §4 55.375, and there was some talk of the ilke- libood of early imports of gold. Peyment wes made by the sub-treasury to- day of $200,000 on trans.c. @ccount from San | Francisco and Jt is expected that further con- signments of Klondike gold will be available Lo the money market in « few days.

There was a heavy sur- plus on hand at the end of the day. Ship- ping stock in crates was offering freely to the local trade at easy prices. Cholce Zinfandel Wine Grapes continied steady and sales were reported in a small way at $33 per ton. Mis- sion, Muscat and Tokay Wine Grapes were very dull. The demand for Apples continued brisk, especlally for fancy Bell@ower, which readily’ commanded full figurés. Oregon Ap- Dle' were still offering atL $1 50 for Baldwins and $1 60 for Spitzenbergs, but few sales were reported. The other orchard fruits were ‘un- ed, the only new feature being the re- ceipt of a few small consignments of Persim- muns, The market was ‘well supplied with Cran- berrfes and prices of Wisconsin were shaded. The Eastern Berries are running very small this vear. Malinda Strawberries were late in arriving again and the greater portion of the receipts went to the canmers at the botfom rate. Longworths and Raspberries were steady. Melons continued cheap. CRANBERRIES—Cape Cod, $9 per bbi: ?'Tlgeonlh‘l;o“ 75@9 per bbl; Coos Bay, $2 50@ BASPBERRIES—' 7 per chest.

Harrison's circular says: ‘‘Since the steamer Ventura sailed there have been the following arrivals of Australian coal at this port: Dora, 1761 tons; Francisco Gulsseppe, 2840 tons; Dit- ton, 4232 tons; total, 8933 tons. There are, in all, seven vessels on the engaged list from Newcastle, N. S. W., .with about 20,000 tons carryig. capacity. Just one year ago there thirty-seven vessels on the chartered. list, a carrying capacity of fully 100,000 tons. clearly demonstrates what the Australian coal loading business means to this port. The principal cause of this shi is, as is known to ‘all, the substitution of oil.-for coal BS a steam producing agent. This was looked for over a year ago, but it was not anticipated that its influence would become so apparent in such a limited space of time. Another Y reason for the small list of vessels to load is the extremely low rates of frelght at present ruling locally for grain cargoes to Europe. The market price here for the Australian product being so low shippers can only af- ford to pay a very meager freight rate, hence sailing vessels there must seek some other port for business. The only profitable feature now existing Is fuel for domestic uses. Every possi- ble device is being studied out by ofl producers to substitute oll for household purposes, but so far they have been unsuceessful, as they can- not control the smell'and the smoke, besidés the increased danger in handling.’” TL—Linseed, 57c for bofied and 58c for raw in barrels; cases, 5c more; California Castor Ofl, in cases, No. 1, 70c; pure, $1 16; Lucol, foc for bofled and 48c for raw, in barrels: Lard Oil, extra winter strained, barrels, 95c; cases, $1; China Nut, 35@62c per gallon: pure Neatsfoot, In barrels, T0c; ., 78c; Sperm, cases, ture, 70c; Whale Ofl, ‘natural white, mfi" per gallon; Fish Ofl, in barrels, 45c; cases, S0c: Crzcoanut Ofl, in barrels, 63%c for Ceylon and b8%c for Australian. 14c; Pearl Ofl, in cases, 20%4c; Astral. 2014c; tar, 2 Extra Star, 23lc; Elaine, -251zc; Eocene, 22%c; deodorized Stove Gasoline, in bulk, 17¢: in ‘cases, 23%c; do,- 72 degrees, in bulk, 1813c; in cases, 35c; Benzine, In bulk, 16c: in "cases, 22%c; 86-degree Gasoline, in bulk, 2ic; in cases, 63c in drums and iron barrels.
