I e Future Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—For a briet period at the opening wheat exhibited a fair degree of firmness, as & result mainly of the bullish ' enthusiasm of yesterday. Initial quotations on December were lsc lower to 4c higher, at $1 083,@1 10. Considerable long wheat was offered for sale, but for a time offerings were | readily taken by commission houses. Senti- ment in the pit had swung around to the bear side. Many traders were disappointed at the poor responses made by forelgn grain markets to the sharp advance here yesterday. Weather conditions also were regarded as more favoratle, temperatures in the North- west, where the previous night the thermam- eter 'had hovered around the freezing point, showing 2 moderate upward tendency. To add to the eelling pressure there was some talk among traders regarding the probable effect of the free movement of spring wheat, | which it was confidently predicted would be | induced by present high prices. Consequently the early demand gradually subsided and prices steadily declined. The weekly Weather Bureau report was bullish, but the effect on the mar- ket was imperceptible, Inasmuch as the report had been entirely discounted during the past week by various private advices from the | Liberal profit-taking continued | Northwest. throughout the entire session, the market clos- Owing to continued coolness of the weathes a firm tone was manifested In corn at the start.

Receipts of Hay fell off sharply yesterday, being only 237 toms; quite a drop from the 2003 tons of the preceding day. The market stfll choked, however, and it could stand two weeks of light receipts very well just now.

Fresh arrivais of Potatoes were lighter, but thers was plenty of carrled-over stock to be bad, and, although shipping orders were plenti- ful,’ the market had a week tone and prices of river Burbanks had a lower range. Sweet Po- tatoes continued to arrive freely and ruled ‘weak, sales at the top quotation being rare. Onions were dull, with prices barely steady. Recelpts of Tomatoes are stead!ly increasing, and, although prices are low, large lines have to carried over from day to day. Lima Beans are not coming in very freely and are bringing fair prices.

Poultry and Game. There was continued firmnees in all kinds of Poultry and the market cleaned up well at steady prices. Another car of Western was marketed, making the fourth for the week, and the receipts of domestic stock were nearly 100 coops. Another car of Western is reported on the way to this market and is due at any time.

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. Receipts of small orchard fruits are steadily decreasing and prices of all kinds have an upward tendency. Local trading was even more active yesterday than on the preceding day and the best offerings of all kinds were Closely cleaned up at the close. Receints of Peaches from Oregon were light and it Is ex- pected that they will continue so for some time, as supplies have been diverted to the East. Apples and Pears were quoted firm, with stocks comparatively light, and Plums, | Prunes and Figs did_better. Melons were in gocd request and Cantaloupes and Nutmeg Melons brought higher prices. Grapes in small | | packages were plentiful and rather weak, ex- | |oept for the fanciest shipping stock, while | open boxes were firm and generally higher. The canners were offerink $50@60 per ton for | Clingstone Peaches and bid as high as $35 for Freestones, but were ungble to procure any | great quantity at these figures.

Dried Fruits,Nuts,Raisins,Honey. | Al descriptions remain about as before | quoted. Prunes continue weak and quiet. Re- | newed attempts are being made to continue the Raisin Growers' Association, but are thus far meeting With poor support. There is some de- mand for assorted cars of new Fruits, but the general business is not heavv. Almonds rule ly high prices. Honey is held so high by growers that the buyers are not taking hold of the market, as al- ready mentioned. Were it not for the com- petition of the Cuban and Hawalian products this staple would probably be selling much higher than it is. | The Los Angeies Times says of the Walnut | crop: “Based on reports from growers and shippers of walnuts, this year's crop is esti- | mated at between 500 and 850 twelve-ton car loads. This is a great advance over the crop of last year whi amounted to 625 ten-tom car loads. The wind and rain storm of Sat- urday damaged walnuts somewhat in this end of the San Gabriel Valley but not emough to affect to any extent the above estimate of the season’s output. The increase from 6250 tons last year to about 9750 this vear is said to be due in large measure to the decrease in the falling of the nuts from the biight which thrives i damp weather, eating away the stems. The quality this year is the finest.” | _FRUITS—New crop—Apricots, 7% @9l4c for Royals and 9@12c for Moorparks; Nectarines, | 5% @7c: Peaches. 6@Sc per 1b; Pears, 6@loc; Plums, pitted, 6@6%c for black, Tla@Sle for Figs, 2-crown ; 3-crown, 5dc; crown, Gic; 6- ; bulk white, 31,@3%c; black, 4c.
