WHEAT—Forelgn markets were firm, with higher figures. Chicago was excited and 2%c higher, chiefly owing to the issuance of an estimate by Jones of the Commercial West, who reduced his fi vres on the crop to 530,000,000 bushels. This is a marked falling off from preceding esti- mates. The voiume of business was large. Another source cf strength was the continu- ance of bad reports of the grain crop from the Northwest, much of the Wheat in North Da- kota being reported dead from rust. ‘The Chicago wires of R. Brent Mitchell said: “‘Liverpool_cloeely foliowed the advance hers since last Friday and continental my ckats were sharply higher and somewhat excited. The broadening speculation is coming on the [ creasing crop damage complaints hnm ‘ Northwest. These are being confirmed all sources. The large receipts at prlmn | markets are to-day meeting with a good de- | mand and prices are higher. There has been free liquidation by the liberal short interest and a good deal of profit-taking by profession- al kolders. The market, however, holds the advance well and reactions are very slight. ‘We regard the conditions, however, as bullish, and advise buying Wheat on fair recessions.’ This market was very firm, and sellers asked higher prices for both California and Northern Club, but buyers were unwilling to pay the advance. Trading in futures was excited and heavy, about 15,000 tons selling on the morning session. The advance was due to the. Chicago ;l; and covering by shorts, and amounted to [ CASH WHEAT. i California Club, $1 3714@1 42%; California ‘White Australian, §1 55@1 571 ; Northern Clul $13714@1 42%; Northern Bluestem, $1 524G 155 per ctl FUTURES.

Trade in domestic stock was quiet, but prices were upkeld, as dealers were firm in their views and not inclined to force sales. Two more cars of Western stock are said to be rolling this way, and it is thought that one of them will be de- layed by the recent washout in Arizona.

The Butter market is working Into better condition, and the finest creameries are quoted | still higher, with lighter stocks. Most dealers now report their supplies of cholce goods light, though there is no scarcity in the general mar- ket, as the medium and lower grades are still abundant and not firm. Receipts continue to run over 1000 cases a day, as will be seen, and the reduction in stocks is attributed to the in- creased consumption due to the return of peo- pie from their summer vacations in the coun- try. Cheese continues in free supply and un- | changed. The market is dull. Eggs are still easy, with 25¢ the fll"l" fl.< ure for ranch, anything over this figure bei: exira fine.

Trade In deciduous fruits was quite active, both on lrcal and shipping account, and top | quality ofterings cleaned up pretty well at good | prices. Peaches led in point of demand, and. | aithough there was an abundance of low | grade fruit on hand, good stock was easily dis- | posed of, some fancy lots in regular boxes selling as high as €0c per box. Large open boxes did better, as the market had previously been pretty well cleaned up. The top quotation s obtained only for one iine of exceptionally fine fruit from Sonoma County, $1 being about | the top for the general market. The canners were purchasing freely of Green Gage Plums and Bartlett Pears, but were not handling other fruits. Apricots in bulk were easier, owing to the top quotation was obtained only for small parcels of the very best stock. Plums, Prunes and Apples had little change and the last mentioned descriptions were very weak, with | supplies excessive. Seedless and Fontainebleau Grapes were very dull at the quoted rates, while the Black and Muscat varleties were in good request at firmer prices. There was no change in Melons, the demand for good stock being brisk. thlberrlu were weak at a lower range of T heavy receipts from Sebastapol, "while oIl Giner Derite woce firm.
