CHICAGO, June 24.—The general bullish sentiment among wheat traders and the urgent demand for July from shorts resulted in an exceedingly strong market the greater part of day.

The north is shipping in more or less Bran, Shorts and similar Feedstuffs, as will be seen elsewhere, and the feeling in thege goods is consequently easy, but prices are maintained without difficulty. The circular of Somers & Co. says of Hay: “‘Shipments of Hay have been increasing dur- ing the past week, the total amounting to 5200 tons, or 500 tons more than for the week pre- ceding. We have finally settled down on a new crop basis, practically none of the present Rrrivals being oid Hay. The cry of car short- age is heard from all sections and shipments would be much heavier noy were it not for this trouble. The Hay crop in the immedlate bay district is much heavier than last vear, so that a large fleet of boats 18 now at work mar- keting Hay from these sections. This will help to keep the market well eupplied until the car stringency is overcome. There is a general movement on the part of the farmers to hold back their Hay, anticipating higher prices, but from the present outlook there is an abund- ance of Hay and nothing at present would was rant extreme figures. Nothing but an une: pected demand will send tha market up to any high figures. At present everything points to- ward a lower range than we quote below. Many farmers who can ship Hay are working with their Grain at present, but will be ready to haul Hay in two or three weeks' time,. there. fore at present it looks as though after t Fourth of July prices would be somewhat lower, B Hpy comte in very freely.” N—-$20G26 _pe) IIDDLINGHWM per ton.

The boats with fresh supplies of fruit from the river sections were late again and the stock was not marketed until most retailers had left the strcet. The market, however, was heavily | supplied with fruit that had arrived late on the preceding day, and trading in that stock was fairly active. As on the preceding day | thera Was a heavy surplus of Plums, Peaches and Apricots in baskets unsold at the close of business. The crop of early Apricots is be- coming exhausted and the receipts are grad- | ually deereasing. Prices of small boxes and | crates were firmer yesterday and higher prices are expected. Receipts of Cherries were light | and cleaned up’ quickly. Sales of extra fancy | blacks were reported at 7c per Ib, but the quo- tations cover the general run of supplies. Figs were plentiful and lower. Other fruits in small packages showed but slight variation. Long- worth Strawberries were dull at lower rates, the previous high prices and the abundance of | other varieties having checked the demand. Blackberries were steady, receipts being mod- erate. Raspberries and Currants sold to the | canners at the minimum quotations and Lo- | ganberries at 2c per Ib, or about $1 60 per | chest. Cantaloupes arrived freely and sold oft | well ‘owing to the warm weather.

Harrison's circular says: ‘‘Sincs the steamer Ventura left there have been six arrivals of coal from Newcastle, N. 8. W., viz.: The arfa Molinos, 2530 tons; Locuh 'f:;fldon, 2930 gona: ns; Marlborough Hill, 8568 tons; total, 19,147 tons. Prior to August 1 there will be seven vessels fully due here with about 19,000 tons. The cargoes of the six vessels which have arrived since the Ven- tura left were all sold prior to arrival, and have been already delivered to consumers, hence the market is agaln without any Colonial coal on hand. There are seventy-eight vessels re- ported chartered with a carrying capacity of about 235,000 tons. Most of these deliveries will be made in September and October next. The arrivals of Australian coal for the first half of this year foot up over 35,000 tons less than for the same period in 1902, Whereas by the end of this year the tatal probable deliv- eries should aggregate 100,000 tons more than the total deliveries for last year. This marked , increase is attributed partially to the placing | of foreign coal on the free list, but principally on aceount of the closing of the principal Brit- isn Columbia collleries for the past several months. The consumption of fuel oil In com- petition with coal for the past six months will foot up over 1,000,000 barrels per month, and even this amount is expected to be increased during the year. The labor disturbances in British Columbia are about terminated. and a majority of the miners have signified their in- tention to again go to work.” OIL—Lucol is 2c lower.
