Grain harvest is completed in some sections a progressing rapidly in others. Wheat, bar- Jey oats and hay are excellent crops in near- Iy all sections.

WHEAT—The foreign markets show little change. Paris futures are lower. Chicago remained about the same and re- ported the local longs dumping their Wheat. The Chicago wires of Bolton. de Ruyter & Co. sald: ‘Market dull and a shade casier. Spec ulative options were mainly local and om a small scale. Kansas City reports an active de- mand for cash Wheat and St. Louls says their cash market is rather dull. Export demand still_small. Primary receipts continue very much less than last year, and Southwestern reports country offerings below expectations. The Government report indicates a of about 630,000,000 bushels, or about 45,000,000 less than last year. To produce this result It strued as moderately bullish, and September was a shade lower to %@%c higher at the start at 70%@S0%c. Local traders were dis- posed to sell on the small advance, which resulted in an easler tone, September selling off to TOH@T9%c, but with a strong corn market prices soon rallied again and Septem- ber advanced to 80%c. Some of the large in- teregts that were such persistent sellers yes. terday were again on that side of the m. ket and on the least show of strength the selling pressure became S0 great that a re- action always followed. During the last hour the market became quite weak and September declined to 79%c, closing at 80c—a shade higher than yesterday's close, Unseasonably cool weather throughout the corn_belt caused firmness In corn in spite of the bearish construction placed upon the crop report. Opening prices Were easier, but a good demand from prominent bull operators, who were Influenced by the fears of early frosts, soon caused a rally and the market became quite strong. The late weakness in wheat, however, had a depressing effect, and all of the early strength was lost, the 'close being at about yesterday's figures, ' with Sep- tember a_shade lower at 52%c, after selling between B17%c and 62%c. Oats ruled firm, despite the fact that the Government report was in some respects bear- ish. Local bulls were active buyers of the distant months and there was little on the market at any time. After selling between 34%c und 34%c, September closed Yc higher at 343gc. Provisions were firm at the start on buying by forelgners, but in the absence of specu- lative Interest the market xradually turned easy. September pork closed 5@ilse lower. Lard unchanged and ribs were off 5c, The leading futures ranged as follows half milllons, which is absurd. Either the acreage was too small- last year or too great this year. Last year's crop has been practically ‘all consumed. The London Statist | estimates’ European requirements of 10,000,000 bushels per week for the current year, and says that the consumption of wheat has been greatly increased.

Trading in fruits was active and prices of most descritions were steady. There was a §ood demand tor good hard Feaches, wrapped tt Pears and crated Plums for sbipment on the Portland steamer, and occasional lots of those descriptions commanded a premium over the quotations. Receipts of Pears from the river were light, and as trashy stock was well cleaned up, prices were steady for chaice and firmer for No. 2. Offerings in wrappers from Martinez were firm at the top quotation. Peaches in baskets from the river were offer- ing freely, but were weak, owing to the abund- ance and low prices of superior quality offer- ings from other sections. Apples were fairly steady for fancy, but dull for lower with stocks large and steadily accumulatin, ‘There 'U:ol‘l’:odmh receipts of l;!—iy hx: Sonoma and offerings cleaned up promptly.

Dried Fruits,Nuts,Raisins,Honey. There is not much if anything new in the market. The quotations for new Fruit repre nt the prices being paid in the few trans- tions thus far made. thewr views, 1 buyers are not disposed to speculaté as heavily as for a few weeks back, hence business is mot very active. This indis- position to speculate is a good thing for the market, as it indicates stabler quotations later an, based more on the legitimate law of supply and demand. Selling for future delivery leads { the seller to break the market afterward so that he can make his deliveries, hence, while short selling makes an active market at first Loff, it resyits in o lower market later on. | NEW UIT—Apricots, 6149 for Royal !and 9@10c for Moorparks; Evaporated Apples, 1 516@hlc: Peaches, 4la@ie for fair to geod !'stock; Pears. nominal at OLD FRUIT—Evaporated Apples, 4@5% sun-dried, 3@ ic: Nectarines, #afic. for white, | Plums, 4@fc for pitted and 1@1isc for umpits ted; Figs.
