without an appreciably brighter outlook
for the near future. The money market
wan tho moot Interesting feature of tho
situation. The threatened drain of gou

to 3. A considerable quantity of gold
was taken out of the ttrik. cr.tltt3
home popular demand and an Increase in
thn official rate of discount.
In view of the fnet that the gold remrv..
Is now under 26.W).M an advance tn tho

PROFIT ON ALL GOOD RALLIES
Henry Clews Hnnnests thnt Prudent
Investor. Will Follow Thin Prac
tice for Awhile.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27. (Special.) In his
weekly financial review Henry Clews of
tho banking house of Henry Clows & Co.
says: ,
The stock market Just now presents the
Interesting though not unusual spectacle
of moving In conflict with natural condi
tions nnd being entirely under the control
of powerful and nblo manipulation, n no
Investor of ordinary prudence thinks that
prices are still at a high level, and that
tho slight reaction from the boom of Inst
spring, while It may not Justify any bear
movement, Is certainly not a bull nrgu
ment. It should bo borne In mind, how
over, that tho prercnt situation Is a ver.
tinusuat one nnd cannot bo measured by
usual standards. ... . .
There has been reaction in certain sec
tions nnd In certain Industries from causes
too familiar to call for repetition: on tho
other hand, there are sections of tho coun
try and particular Industries which nro
Just feeling the full effect of the wave of
prosperity: so that wlillo It may be reced
ing at some points it Is still progressing at
others, causing a confusion of results out
of which It Is not easy to form conlldont
opinions. . ii...
Tho chief Indications of recession have
been In tho smaller profits of tho Indus
trials, tho losses hero nnd there In our
export trndo nnd tho dnmngo to crops from
drouth. On tho other hand, the leading
Industries continue exceedingly active and
old and new establishments are running
to their full capacity. The enormous con
sumptive demand for products of nil kinds
surpasses the expectations of the most ex
perienced merchnnts nnd manufacturers
and affords tho most rtrlklng testimony of
tho soundness and substantial character pf
the country's growth. This is especially
true of Iron and coal, the use of which Is
dependent upon the nctlvlty of other lines
of Industry. m .....
Thorn are no signs of reaction In theso
market, nnd It Is evident that slight con
cessions In values would bring out a now
lot of orders thnt are belli:: held back for
Just such a contingency. Tho agricultural
situation Is undoubtedly tho most unfavor
able fnctor observable, hut tho harm thero
Is confined to spots nnd has many offset,
so that tho Injury will bo much less than
anticipated In July Inst. Farmers nro gen
erally prosperous nnd out of debt nnd well
nblo to meet their losses. Briefly stated
then tho agricultural. Industrial and com
mercial situation, while not en brilliant a
n year ago. Is sound and satisfactory, and
In theso directions no verv strong bear
arguments can be found.
There being nothing outside of tho mnr
ket to Influence speculation, prices must
naturally bo controlled bv movements more
closely connected with Wall street. This
Is precisely tho case In tho stock market
nt present. Outside affairs have been nbout
discounted nnd railroad stocks ore still
chiefly dominated by tho progress or delny
In tho community of Interest plans. Tho
hitch which dovcloped out ot tho rivalry of
two big Interests to secure Burlington &
Qulncy was chiefly responsible for the
abrupt termination of tho bull market last
spring. It Is quite apparent now that the
spectacular demonstrations In Northern- Pa
eltlo last summer had probably more to do
with recent declines than tho corn crop
failure. President McKlnlov's death or fears
of stringent money. It follows then that
tho mnrket Is still lnrgely Influenced by
this transaction and that nnv solution of
tho present tnngle will afford a very de
cided rcner aim siimumiu leimwcu iiov
nlnulatlon for higher prices. The Indlcu
tlnns are that ns soon bh this question Is
nettled tho movement toward centralization
of railroad management will receive a fresh
Impetus and tho effect of this upon values
It Is too earlv to determine.
There Is no gainsaying the advantages of
tins movement so nir. not merely to mo
owners of securities, but to shippers and
pnssengers alike who recelvo the benefits of
uniform rates and better nnd quicker serv
ice. Ho long ns rates are not pushed too
high It seems llkoly that the railrnnds will
not meet with any severe nubile, criticism.
One step In consolidation furces another
Hiid the movement Is not likely to ceno
until all tho largo systems have control of
the territory they are best fitted to serve.
While negotiations of such vustness und
Intricacy are under way wo may expect all
sorts of rumors, fnvorablo and unfavorable,
and when comnletcd these nlnns will un
doubtedly add to tho stability and vnluo of
good railroad properties: but In the Interim
we may experience wide fluctuations nnd
more or less friction ns rival Interests play
for position. This may tend to Increased
nctlvlty In tho mnrket and renewed specu
lation. It Is well known that big men are
mi fitlrrY I rt firn n Til niinli r f mt nrs u nt li in Vl
they aro unwilling to part wth at present
prices ana tneir interests no in ine uirec
lion of hlchin- nrlces.
The money murket Is almost past 4ho
danger line, ns In n few weeks funds with
drawn for crop purposes will begin to re
turn. The situation abroad Is unfavorable
nnd the prospect of gold Imports Is some
what remoto. but the United Statrs Is In
such n strong position financially and com
mercially as tn bo only slightly Influenced
by foreign affairs nt the moment. While
the tiresent strong undertone continues wo
expect to see a good trading market, but
pruaence suggests mo maing oi proms on
an soon rallies.
SKIES CLEAR ON THE BOURSE
Tirrad of Klnnnclnl Disaster nt Berlin
In Passing- nnd Stock Condition
Are on the Mend.
RERLIN, Oct. 27. Uist week tho bourse
nan a quiet and uneventful experience,
w tn no considerable chances or uuotn
Horn In any department. Several weeks
Mow having passed without fresh reveln
Sjns of business disaster, the opinion Is
Vfllnlnjf ground that the most critical stage
or tnn economical disease has passed. Ac
cordlncly. Industrial stocks fairly main
aincd quotations throughout tho week
Although the Cologne volkes Kcltiing dS'
nles that the German Iron Industry showi
the slightest Improvement In uny briui-h
the most recent sales In Great Britain am
the United States uavo made a good Im
tireAslnn.
Referring to the situation In the United
Htutes, the Frankfurter 'eltung says: "It
Is n veritable victory for our IndiiKtrles
thHt American Iron works are unpsuully
wll emtilnved nnd scarcely able to take
further orders. Naturally this reduces the
otherwise sharp competition of the United
States In the markets of tho world and
gives to German industry n treer nein."
American railroad Bhares were firmly
held thmiizlmut the week until yesterday.
syeclasW Northern Pacini', on the strength
of the expected combination, but yesterday
they were heavily offered In conseqtience
of tho heavy off advices from New York,
nnd Northern Pacific closed at 12.28. Ca
nadian Pacific closed at 108.90. Ocean trans
portation shnres were somewhat tirmer on
the announcement of a slight Improvement
In the freight market.
Tho statement of the Helchsbank yes
terday showing an Improvement In the
note reserve of 101,00O,Oj0 marks made a
good Impression, but It did not Influence
quotations. Tho National Zeltimg says tho
bank has received 35,000,000 more marks In
British gold during- the last five weeks.
Tho monthly settlement hw- begun under
markedly easy -money conditions. Tho pri
vate rate of discount fell yesterday to
Sk per cent. Call loans were offered
abundantly at 2 per cent and less, while
money for tho monthly settlement com
mands from 3S to 34 per cent In New York
and London.
Paris exchange showed a further advance
on tho week.
The remaining 47,0O0,0X) marks of the
Russian Hallway loan of SO.OOO.ono marks
will bo subscribed Wednesday next.
Tho foreign trade statistics for Septem
ber show Imports aggregating 3,95.1,539 tons
or a decrease of 3i6,197 tons, and exports
2.783,755 tons, or an Increase of 72.126 tons.
The plglron output for September whs
626,220 tons, us against 717,100 tons.
It Is announced that the International
zinc price arrangement has been frus
trated owing to the refusal of the Slleslau
concerns to restrict production.
Tho Berlin corporation of merchants,

TEXTILE WORKERS GRUMBLE
Manchester Mnrket I flenernlly t'n
stitlaartory. Offers Ileitis; Small
nnd Sale Difficult.
MANCHKSTKR. Oct. 27.-Lnst week's
murket was generally unsatisfactory with
a turnover below the average. Any Im
provement In the demand will encourage
spinners to improve margins. Cloth offers
from India, and elsewhere were small,
making sale difficult. Bids wcro scarcely
entertained nnd consequently sales were
small. There was a moderate business In
sheeting and minor goods, China and the
eastern outfits forwarding a few orders.
At nurnley the manufacturers are
grumbling freely, but they manage to keep
somo of tho looms busy. YarnB were
weak In tho early part of the week, trado
being weak. Later they bocame better
nnd there was an Increase In homo busi
ness. Report of Bnnk of flpnln.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26,-It was the usual dull
Saturday market today and December
wheat closed o lowei?, December corn He
higher and December oats ?c up. Pro
visions closed 24c to 5c tower.
Whent experienced a dull mnrket, with
lower tendencies. Trade for the most part
was local and longs wcro Inclined to let
go of their holdings and settle up deals
over Sunday, Unresponsive cables started
the Belling, December opening a shade to
VWUc lower at 7tH071i4c. Drouth news
continued to arrive from Argentine, but
without response at Liverpool thin had
little effect here. Opposed against this
slight bullish fnctor was the news of re
let from the drouth In the southwest nnd
Information that as soon ns tho flax crops
wcro out of the way tho northwestern
movement would begin again. To this was
added proof In tho way of Increased north
western receipts today. On theso condi
tions December sagged off to 71Hc helped
by heavy liquidation by one or two prom
inent local bulls. Near tho end of tho
short session, however, news of shipments
for Russian ports brought a reaction and
Bhorts covering brought December back to
Its higher opening price, closing easy, (jc
lower at 7m471c Local receipts worn 104
cars. 1 of contract grade; Minneapolis nnd
Duluth received 829 cars, muklng n total

Cables might have had an upward effect
had It npt been for the easier feeling In

jin-nseu u 10 onjc mere was still a general

.Mnkes Rears Rush lo Cover.
NEW YORK, Oct, 26. Thero wns a hesl
fating, Irregular stock market today until
the p.ppearnnce of the bank statement on
tho tape. The unexpected Increase In the
cash reserves of the banks of $1,692,900
prompted tho bears to cover their short
lines and rally thn mnrket ccnernllv to
above last night's llgures, although tho net
ciuinKes generally will do seen 10 ue insig
nificant. There was positive Independent
strength In Missouri Pacific, which ad
vanced It 2J nbovn last night. There wns
no news to explain the movement and the
vinmillinfln cirr..f iinti ,,llln,1 atn,k wn.
slight. People's (ins made a good recovery
irom recent weakness. St. l'aui was ac
tive nnd fluctuating and received the full
benefit of the late covrrlng movement.
Amalgamated Copper was heavy through
out, with news of tho shutting down of
tho company's mines, nnd In the Into deal
ings thn stock broke !4o under last night.
Interrupting tho recovery elsewhere and
making the closing Irregular. Tho source
of tho receipt of cash by the banks Is a
mystery, ns known movements of money
Indicated 11 loss of upwards of $2,600,000
for thn week. Tlio Innn Item reflected tho
continuance of reborrowing by debtors who
aro paying oir rorelgn loans, i no weemy
statement of tho Bank of Germnny shows
a rocuperutlon In cash resources of over
$12,000,000, with a reduction of loans nnd
contraction of Issues of nbout equal
amounts. Sterling exchnngn declined In
Berlin today, Indicating pressure for gold
there. There remain some requirements to
bu filled nt New York, with remittances on
Loudon account for subscriptions to tho
Issue of consols, an Installment on which
Is duo November 7. The question of gold
exports from New York next week Is,
therefore, an open one.

CATTLE As Is generally the enso on
Saturduy, there were not enough cattle In
the yards this morning to maku n test or
tho market. For the week tho supply lias
been fulrlv liberal, though not milto us
many cnttlo arrived as did the week beforo.
As compared wun me same ween oi last
year, however, thero Is a marked Increase
in receipts. Nearly ull tho cattle wero
from the ratine, as very few native corn-
feds wero on sale. Tho quality of the
offerings was only fair, though ti few
choice bunches arrived and sold ut fancy
prices.
Corn fed steers of good to choice quality
wero In active demand nil the week and
tho mnrket closed cood anil atrong. The
lop price of tho week wns $0.30, which was
paid for a bunch of steers und heifers.
Good to choice beef steers nro q.iotable at
6.00 to $6.30, fair to good $5.50 to $6.00 and
commoner grades trom $5.50 down. A
noticeable feature of tho trudc In corufeds
wns the lack of demand for wurnied-uu
and common cattle, as puckers prefer west
erns.
good proportion of tho receipts wns
mado up of cow stuff. Tho first duy or
two of this week prices cased oft u trifle,
but later on tho loss was entirely regained
nnd tho week closed with the market good
and strong. The bulk of thu natives this
week sout from jz.Tu to w.oo. but n cliolco
bunch of cornfed cows would probably
reach $3.75 or better, while cornfed heifers
of good quality ought to sell up to $4.75.
There has not been enough of thnt class
offered of late, however, to make a fair
test of the market. Canning grades of
cows sell from $1.60 to $2.25.
There has been very llttlo chance In bulls.
cnlves nnd stngs during tho week. Tho
demand lias been active for tho desirable
grnucn, while common stufi was a little
slow. Bulls are selling mostly from $2 to
$2.50, though choice grades would sell con
siderably higher. Veal calves have. Bold as
high as $5.50.
There have been liberal offerlnirs or
Blockers and feeders nil tho week, but tho
demand wns equal to tho occasion und
trade ruieu active on most uuys. unoico
heavy feeders and particularly the de
horned cattle may bo quoted fully steady
for tho week. Cholco yearllngH are also
steady. Tho last of the week, however,
tho medium weights and tho common cattle
of all kinds eased off a trifle and nro prob
ably 10c lower than tho first of tho week.
She stuff has also sold about steady and
the same' Is true of stock calves. Good to
cholco feeders aro quotable at $4.00174.60;
fr.lr to good. $3.50174.00, and commoner kinds
from $3.50 down. Stock heifers are selling
mostly from $2.75 to $3.25, though It takes
a choice bunch to bring much over $3.00.
Stock heifer cnlves of good quality aro
selling from $3.60 to $4.00 und stock steer
cr.lves are worth from $3.76 to $4.50.
Although tho bulk of tho receipts wns
made up of western cattle this week the
offerings of beef steers were comparatively
limited. Packers wero ull anxious for sup
plies and ns a result the market was strong
all tho week and closed probably a dime
higher than the cIobo of last week. Choice
grades are Belling from $4.60 to $5.00, with
tho bulk from $3.75 to $4.40. Rnnge cows
are also strong for the week and the bet
ter grades are worth from $3.00 to $3.60.
Stockers nnd fcedors are stendy for the
week where tho qui.llty Is satisfactory and
weak to 10c lower on tho medium weights
nnd common kinds. Tho quotations given
above In the native division will upply to
the westerns.
HOGS There was Just a fair run of hogs
hero today for tho last of the week. The
market opened a big nickel lower, with tho
bulk selling at $5.97406.00, with tho long
Btrlng at the latter price. A few of the
commoner kinds sMd nt $5.9... The cholco
loads went from $6,024 up. Thero was npt
much change m the market from stnrt to
finish, though tho last end was a llttlo
weak, If anything. , particularly on the
heavier hogs. Today's decllno cnrrlcs tho
market back to about whc.ro It was on
Wednesday, the ndvanco of tho last two
days being lost. ... , ,
There Is a slight Increase In the receipts
for the week, both as compared with last
week and also with tho same week last
year. The featuro of tho trade this week
was the break In prices on Tuesday,
amount!!!" to 201'25c. The, market, here,
however has been higher than In Chicago
nnd -In fact the prices paid here hayo com-
"red favorably with all markets. The
ccllno In values this week carries the
market to the lowest point reached since
tn" latter part of August. Representative

SHEEP There were no sheep In the
yards to make a test of the market. For
the week thero has been n good, liberal
run, an Increase being noted both over
last week and nlso over tho same week
last year, as the table of receipts at the
head of the column will show.
The market on fnt sheep and lambs held
up In good shape until the last of the
week, when reports from other markets
of thn downward tendency of prices made
buyers rather bearish nt this point. They,
however, failed to break prices here, ns
feeder buyers all wero anxious for supplies
and outbid the packers nnd got the bulk
of the offerings nt steady prices. As n
result this has been about the high
est market In tho country. Had It
not been for this heavy demnnd on tho
part of feeders tho market would probably
nave ctucd oft about n dime, particularly
on sheep. Tho top prlco for tho week on
lambs was $4.85, which wns paid for a
deck of natives of choice quality.

TEXAS OIL .NEWS.
Use of Fuel Oil In Practical Work.
uvim itin vnw York Journal: Tho sub
stitution of oil for coal Is tho dream of
the modorn engineer. Thin rerormntion or
fuel process has manifold advantages and
i, v..... ilntnvfrl nnlv hccnuso of tho eco
nomic considerations, its practicability nnd
convonlenco nro estnbiisned, nut as long
oo thn nrnitnellnn of oil and cnnl remains
as C is to 100 the theory cannot be carried
out. Tho greatness or tho ucaumont on
fields has renewed tho chances of Its suc
cess and tho day may not be far distant
when coal will bo largely displaced by Its
liquid rlvol In generating steam and as a
combustible.
Twenty years ago oil was practically un
used as a fuel, because thn art of applying
II with nut ilnncpr nnd with steady, heating
results has not been solved. In those days
It seemed Impossible to distribute ana con
trol tho heat of burning oil. Now comes
the reformation, the author of which Is
tho Increased supply from Beaumont. Oil
from this locality Is ndapted to combustlve
purposes.
Tho most rellablo reports announce the
dally production of the neaumont gushers
to bo 4.000,000 barrels, or 160,000,000 gal
lons, per day, nnd, ussumlug this to be
true, the noxt consideration Is transporting
tho oil from Texas to tho heart of the
manufacturing Industries.
Several largo gushers now in process of
boring will come In In a few days, which
will Increase tho supply, which, although
great, as above Indicated, Is not yet sum
clent to meet demands. Among those under
procet,s of boring the OMAHA TEXAS OIL
COMPANY Is probably tho most Important.
Their prospectus tells all about these won

MARKETS FOR WEEK RATHER FEATURELESS
Advance Oritera for Sprlnsr Shipment
Coming; In More Freely Than
Kter Before This Early
in the Season.
OMAHA. Oct. 24.
Omaha Jobbers are frellng the effects of
tho long warm weather to quite an appro
clablo extent. Retailers In the country are,
of course, selling vory little cold weather
goods ut the present time nnd as a result
their slocks are quite complete. For that
reason they are not sending In ns many
slilng.uii and duplicate orders ns they
would If the weather wero more seasonable.
There Is, however, very little complaint
from nuy so.irrc, ns both Jobbers Hiidre
tnllcrs nro confident that the present lull Is
only temporary nnd that when the fall de
mand does set In It will be of llbernl pro.
portions and moro than offset nny dullness
that may bo experienced at the presotit
time.
Advance business Is very satisfactory.
'1 raveling men are now on the rond with
their lines of spring rumples and so far
have met with better success than ever be
fore this early In the season. They find
merchants In good spirits and confident re
garding future business, so that they havo
llttlo difficulty In landing liberal orders.
The mnrkets haVo been rather uneventful
during the week, ns most lines are selling
in nbout the same notches they were a
week ago. Tho few changes that havo
taken plnco havo In most cases been In
the direction of higher values, showing
that the general market is In a good,
healthy condition. As tho demand in prac
tically all lines Is fully equal to the ca
pacity of manufacturers, the general Im
pression Is that present prices will b
maintained for some time to come.
Slnco last report there tins been no change
In thn sugar market, both raws and rellned
remaining the same. So far ns this market
Is concerned there Is nothing of Interest to
no said regarding tho war betwoon tho
beet sugar men nnd the trust. It Is under
stood that very llttlo of thn cheap sugar Is
being shipped Into tho lower river markets
und lit fact not enough to nffect the mar
ket one wny or the other. Bo far there has
been no cut prlco sugar marketed In this
territory nnd local Jobbers do not nntlclpnto
any demoralization of prices In this sec
tion. Co fTee Market llliflirr.
Coffee took nn upward turn this Inet
week, prices on both green und roasted
being a cent a pound higher than they
wero a week ago, As a result of the
higher prlco tho market Is a llttlo moro ac
tive than It has been for some time past.
The only change In farinaceous goods of
any Importance Is tho slightly easier feel
ing In rice, Thn now crop Is now on tho
market und stocks nro more plentiful than
they havo licen In somo time. Beans nnd
practically all other lines of farinaceous
goods aro quoted the same as they wore u
week ngo.
Canned tomatoes are still firming up nnd
reports from Baltimore stale that thero nro
not more thnn 10,0eo cases or standard
tomntoes In first hands. Owing to thn light
puck nnd to the favorable outlook for
higher prices In the future speculators
have bought up everything available, which
accounts for so llttlo stock being left In
first hands. As previously mentioned job
bers nro predicting higher prices In the
future nnd particularly after the first at
the year. Other lines of cniined goods nrn
nlso In n good, strong position and tho gen
eral market may be quoted firm and active.
xnrro nas ucen no ennnge in tne clieesa
market since last report, although price
may be quoted strong. Tho heavy nur-
chases havo now been mostly made, so that
there is not as much Interest In the mnrket
as there was a short time ago.
As regards tho condition of trade local
Jobbers report an active demand, with tho
prospects tor uio iiutiro very encouraging,
tliiNriisonntilc Wetitlicr Injures Trade,
Dry goods Jobbers are perhaps more do
pendent upon weather conditions than
wholcsulirs In most other lines. Whenever
tho weather Is unseasonable their trad
falls off materially and us a result the'r
business nt the present tlmo U of lather
limited proportions. It Is claimed by travel
Ing men that retailers out throiiL'h tint
country have 3old comparatively little of
tneir inn anu winter lines anu consequent!
there Is very little onnortiinltv for them in
sell nny goods of thnt character. Condi.
tlons in the country, however, may be s.vlc
to bo very satisfactory, as the consume!
has plenty of money and ull that Is needed
to make an active trado Is a wave of co d
weather. Tho fact thnt merchants art: not
discouraged is well shown by thu way In I
which they are placing advance orders for
spring. A good many merchants who hnvn
held back In previous years are now plnclug
liberal orders, which would indicate moic
than thu usual nmount ot confidence In the
future,
Thn cotton goods market Is sllll In a very
strong position nnd a number of Hues o(
print cloths and goods of that character
have been mnrked tip'from Uc to We. The
demnnd Is active at these prices and miiuu
fncturers have no dilllculty In disposing of
nil the stock they can turn out. That being
the case, the mnrket may bo snld to be In
a healthy condition nnd thoso best postd
onitho situation believe that present values
are on a good firm foundation.
No Change In Hardware.
There is very little to bo snld this week
regarding the situation in hardware. Prices
all along the IJno aro practlvally the innio
as they were it week ugo. The demand Is
ns active as cutild be expected under prev
ent conditions, mu ox course strictly coiq
weather goods are not moving out as
rapidly ns they might. On tho other hand,
such lines as barb wire are selling moro
freely thun ever before, owing to the fact
that the. continued warm weather ullows
an unusual amount of outdoor work to be
done. 1-ocal houses are well supplied with
practically all kinds of goods with the
exception of steel ranges, which are coming
forward rather slowly. Manufacturers
claim that their capacity Is equal to tho
demand, but that they are unable to get
steel. There is not what might be called a
shortage at the present time, as so far
Jobbers have been able to 1111 their orders
promptly.
A rather unusual occuraiico took place
last week, Inasmuch ns white lend cased oft
ic The decline was not anticipated and
consequently was somewhat of u surprise.
This market Is still almost bare, so fur as
Unseed oil Is concerned, mid Just how soon
there will be a liberal supply on hand can
not be told. Prices on raw range from 0a
to 62c and boiled from 62c to 6lc, but very
few houses nre quoting prices nt all.
Both window nnd platu glass am quoted
the same as they were a week ago. The
window glass factories will begin operations
November 1, but It Is not expected that
any change In prices will inke place at
that tlmo. Those who ought to know my
thero will probably be no change at least
before the first of the year and perhaps not
then. In case any chango should take place
nt that time It would probubly be only on
the smaller sizes.
Fruits and Produce,
Thero has been a very fair trndo the lat
week In fruits and vegetables. Tho warm
weather has apparently not curtailed the
demand tn any appreciable extent, but It
has made It difllcult for Jobbers to handle
perishable goods without heavy losses. One
of the must Important mnrket 'changes Is
tho lower tendency of potatoes. Home
grown and northern stock Is now down to
Kill 90c, while Salt likes and Colorados are
quoted at $1 per bushel. Most other lines
of vegetables are selling In Just about the
snmo notches they wero n week ago.
Mexican oranges aro now on thu mnrket
and In fact they nre nil that can be had
ut the present time. They are quoted at
$4.60176.00 per box. Apples are somewhat
higher than they weru a week ngo and are
selling very freely. Tho quotations on thn
different kinds will be found In another
column. Cranberries nro also lu big de
mand and nre worth $6.75 per barrel.
Butter, eggs and poultry have nil been In
fnlr demand, but the demand hns been
equul to the occasion und ns a result good,
active markets have been experienced. The
only chnngeB In prices are on hens nnd
spring chickens, which nro Ua lower than
they were a week ago, hut thn market may
be quoted firm at tho decline
After exposure or when you foel a cold
coming on, take a dose of Foley's Honey
and Tar. It never falls to stop a cold It
taken In time.
