Thn condition of trade In thin locality Is
Hill very sntlsfnctory. Ftom tlic Jobbers
anil rclullors of HiIm city como fuvornblo
U'ortH regarding the movement of prnr
tlcnlly nil linns of tncrohundlsc, and from
the surrounding country como equally good
reports. The luck of hot weather so fnr
Iihh, of course, hud a tendency to curtail
tho movement of somo lines of summer
noodH, but that fuet Ih more than counter
balanced by the good outlook for bountiful
crops, nnd It Is safe to say that the feeling
among business men In gcnerul was never
better than ut the present time. H very
one seems to llgnrc that us long uh tho
crop prospect Is Rood trade will continue
to nourish, and that Is doubtless one Teu
ton why retailers arc placing such liberal
orders with local Jobbers for fall Roods.
J ho markets as a gcncrHl thine arc In
fibout tho samo position they were In a
week nun. There Is a noticeable tendency,
however, to level nrlces down in a liiml
of cost of production. For the past vear
Dr more tho excessive demand tor many I
commodities has enabled manufacturers to ,
fcSK anil rcCll nVfirtilll.tlt (it(r.,u rnt. tlli.ll. I
Hocks. Inn grout many cases It was not
a question of price with tho purchaser, but
a question of getting the poods at any cost,
nnd as a result values went far above their
real worth. Now that production has In
creased and speculative buying ceased nl
mot entirely tho demand U not so far In
rxcess of supply and prices consequently
are being leveled down. It Is not exactly
n weakness, but simply an Indication that
the markets uro not In as excited a condi
tion as they havo been for the past year
or so, and Hint business In general Is
b'cltlng down onto a better basis.
SiiKiir May Sell IIIkIkt.
Wholesale grocers are still having a good
ncllvo market and report the volume or
business as being unusually heavy for this
Keasoll of the year. The market Is about
the same as It was u week ago, no very
Important changes having taken place. The
sugar market Is Just about where It was.
but higher prices are being looked for In
tho near future. The period of heavy con
sumption Is now close at hund, and as the
prospects for a good crop of berries nnd
nlso of cherries ore very Mattering, It Is
thought the demand for sugar will be ex
ceptionally heavy for even this time of
year. There Is little change to report In
canned goods. Corn nnd tomatoes, how
ever, nre, If anything, tinner In the cast,
but no advances have as yet taken place
at this point. In tho dried fruit line Cali
fornia evaporated choice peaches are a
Irlllo easier, but tho better grades aro get
ting scarce and It Is thought that the
market on that class of Roods will be
maintained. Prunes nro doing considerably
better than they have been of late and
tho California market Is quoted 'illluC
higher. ICvaporated raspberries ale re-
fiorted searco and as a result the market
ins advanced again. Corn syrups have
been marked up again as a result of tho
high prlco of corn, the advance this time
amounting to Iff 2c per gallon. Tho cheese
market is good and II rm anil It Is thought
that present prices will rule until factories
nro able to run at their full capacity. Tho
nupply of milk so far has been Inadequate
to supply the factories on account of tho
dry weather experienced In Wisconsin In
April and early May. Columbia river sal
mon Is at present attracting considerable,
attention. It was rumored that opening
prices are to tie 25c higher than they were
a year ago. The reason for this advance Is
that the supply this season Is unusually
light. Tho general opinion among Jobbers
Is that If the advance Is made It will ma
terially curtail consumption, as It will be
necessary for retailers to ask 20e per can
and at that prlco salmon is bound to bo
slow aide.
I'nncj' Prices Reduced.
Thcro Is htlll a good, nctlvo hardware
market and local Jobbers are well pleased
with prevailing conditions. Practlcnlly all
lines of spring goods are moving freely nnd
when comparisons with last year aro drawn
It Is found that a good, substantial gain Is
liclng made. There Is nothing particularly
new to bo said about tho condition of the
market, except that thero Is considerable
tendency to cut down tho fancy prices that
have, been asked during tho pnst year on
nccount of the scarcity of stock. The gen
eral market, however, la llrm nnd tho
opinion Is that It Is going to remain that
way for some time to come. Production
now In most canes Is equal to consumpton
mil consequently prices nre not npt to go
my higher, so spcculutlvo buying has
Hopped, but the consuming demand Is fully
is largo as It was a year ago. If anything
llko tho present into of consumption Is
maintained It Is thought that no radical
changes In market values will take place
Cor somo time to come.
Pry goods Jobbers report trade a. trlllo
inlet Just ut present on uecnnnt of the cold,
alny weather. Retailors In tho country. It
leems, still hnvo much of their summer
itncks on hand and consequently aro not
buying more goods for Immediate' use.
Thero seems to be little doubt, however, but
that as soon us warm weather docs set In
Irniio will lie all right. Fall business with
jobbers Is coming In good shape and no
complaints are heard on that score.
Mine .Stocks l.nruc.
Hoot and shoe Jobbers nre nlso experienc
ing a little dullness as far as Immediate
business Is concerned for the same reason
that tho dry goods trndo Is none too active.
It appears that retailers stocked up unusu
ally .heavy Inst fall In anticipation of higher
prices and a big trndo. Tho ndvapce in
values hns taken place, but us yet tho trndo
hin not fully developed nnd a good propor
tion of tho Koods purchased Is still on tho
shelves. A few duvs of hot weather, how- 1
ever, will break up stocks considerably and i
lorai jooners figure nun tney will sun do
quite a re-order business. Kail trudo Is In
good shape and promises to bo fully up to
last year's record. Reports from eastern
markets show that trade there Is none too
netlvo and that manufacturers are well up
with their orders locnl lobbcm have re.
colvod notices from some of the largest 1
iiiuiiiuueturiirs staling tnai iney must hnvo
orders, which would Indicate that prices
nro none too Jinn The effect has alreailv
Ojeen felt on the leather markot, which is
slow and weak, and to such an extent Is
that truo that many tanners havo wltn
drawn from the hide market.
The rubber goods trade Is In good shape
at present, the recent rains having creutid
quite a demand for rubber clothing. Fall
business Is In excellent condition and the
prospects more favorable than they wero
a few weeks ago.
The local hide market Is very weak and
dull. Prices are rather demoralized anil a
decline Is lookfd for In the next few days.
Fruit mid Produce.
Thero was a good trade last week In fruit
and vegetables and especially In straw
berries. Close to three curs of berries per
day were handled on this market and, con
sidering tho weather and condition of the
stock, fairly good prices wero realized.
Tho rains did considerable damage to the
berries, but good stock suld generally
around $2 white poorer stock sold from $t
up. Reports received from tho berry sec
tlons show that while thero has been some
rain there, still the prospects aro favorable
for this week and good stock should be
plentiful. It Is of course dllllcult to tell
much about what the market will be, but
the general opinion Is that the lowest prices
will prevail this week of nny time durlng
tho boason that Is. provided tho weuther Is
favorable. Raspberries will soon bo on thu
innrkot and may begin to como In tho
latter part of this week.
Fresh vege'.ibles are In good supply und

list last week and are selling at SI per

CHICAGO, May 19. Wheat catty was llrm
on the unfavorable weather, sold on later
In sympathy with the corn weakness, but
closed steady, July Ho under yesterday.
July corn closed 4fjo lower nnd July
oats a shado depressed. At the close hog
products were a trifle easier, but steady. In
all tho pits trade wns quiet.
LiveriMsjl was still whooping It up for
Hadcn-Powell today and fojgot the deal In
grain and In the absence o'f this usual hint
to go ono way or the other the wheat mur
kct opened unchanged, July (TJV to 6"V.
The northwest was without rain. Just as It
has been for some time. It renewed Its
walling und looked through gloomy glasses
nt tho prospect of seed dying from drought
In the ground. The southwest complained
of recent liberal rains. In addition Illinois
reported damage from tho Hessian fly.
These tidings were enough to worry shorts
and under pressure of covering the prlco
of July was forced up to 6714c. The corn
weakness Inter mndc itself felt and many of
the early purchases were thrown on the
market again. July selling off to 67c. Tho
closo was steady at 67f67V. V under yes
terday. Trudo throughout the session was
quiet. The cash demand was slack. Now
York reporting only 12 loads taken for ex
port. Seaboard clearances In wheat and
Hour were equal to 277.000 bu. Primary re
eelpts were 336,000 bu.. compared with .Ifio,
(rt) bu. last year. Minneapolis nnd Duluth
reported 276 curs, against 424 last week and
.118 a year ago. lral receipts were 26 cars,
2 of contract grade.
Corn was quiet, then firm for an hour,
tint weak nfter that. Tho weakness was
due to pressure of long corn. There were
complaints of too much rain In the west
and seeding was reorted delayed In lown.
Tho opening wns unchanged und the mnrket
developed strength on tho rains during the
llrst hour, but lost It for thu cnuse afore
mentlored. July sold between 3,S'jc and
37V and closed heavy. 'iK'So down, ut

Influence. July sold between 22V and 22Vic
und closed a shade lower ut :2l,fr-2'8C. Re
ceipts here were 169 cars.
Provisions wero quirt but fairly steady.
Tho opening wns a trifle lower, because of
liberal hog receipts. Thero was a moderate
demand for lard and ribs. July pork sold

(nlueil lit Stock .Market.
NBW YORK. Slay 19.-f ho stork market
maintained a fairly good speculative tone
todny In spite of the continued discourage
ment reported by the mercantile agencies
over tho course of commodity prices. Rail
road stocks generally are higher on the
dny to the extent of a fraction and some of
thn specialties show larger changes. Sugar
wan the lender of the market without any
news to account for Its strength bevond
thn suggestive parallel that might bu drawn
between Its ense nnd that of tho New York
Ons company's, whose costly conflict seems
to be e.led. With the profitable period of
tho year approaching In the sugar trade
It Is paturally supposed that the Incentive
to settling a contest that takes away tho
profits of the business Is augmented. Con
solidated Ons reflected the pressure af spei -illative
realizing nnd the Tobacco stocks
showed signs of weakness. The local trac
tion stocks continued strong. The market
was largely one or specialties. There was
some demand for tho Vanderbllt stocks, np
parentl:' on the reported return from Kit
ropo of Wllllnm Iv. Vnnderhllt, whl. h wns
denied after the close. I'nlon Pnclllc gained
n large fraction. Hurllngton nnd Norfolk
Western hulled In the advance. whp"i
was the feature of yesterday's mnrket,
while traders took their profits.
Tho weekly statement of railroad earn
ings was favorable. The bond mar
ket showed a decided improvement,
both In the volume of demand nnd fie
prices brought. The sharp advance In gov
ernment bonds wns of course in responso
to the announcement from Wnshlngton of
the calling of the extended 2 per rents
Prices of railroad stocks have partlv re
covered this week the losses Incurred last
weak. In tho Industrial department of tho
stock list, on the contrary, thero have been
some formidable Inroads upon prices list
week Imdon wns looking to this week's
Stock exchange ettlement with consider
able apprehension, owing to the wide de
clines since the last settlement, esneclully
In Americans and the prevailing stringency
In money Rut the Iindon money market
had found unexpected relief bv tho receipt
of Jo.oooooo in Russian gold. .Much Interest
attaches to the future action of the foreign
governmental banks as to -the official dis
count rates. The fact that they maintain
their rates In nlto of the ease of nrlvuto
discount rates Indicates a desire to con
tinue to strenstthen their resources.
Crop prospects nre playing an imposing
part In speculative circles and the frmnes.s
of western railroad shares has been helped
b this consideration. The undertone In
Wnll street nevertheless continues rather
depressed nnd uncertain, due to the obvious
fact that buying of commodities Is still
withheld In walling for indications thru
bottom prices have been reached. The fact
that Investment buying of bonds has been
dull In silte of low rates for money r,n
been u dlbcouraglnc factor In the stock
market.

HOOS There wns u fulrly liberal run of
hogs nt this point today for a Saturday,
and us advices from other markets were
none too favorable buyers tried to take
off .1 little from yesterday's prices. As a
result trade opened up slow, with bids
ranging weak to 2Vfco lower than yester
day's general market. Sellers, however,
were not willing to take off much, and us
there vvus a good demand on the purl of
puckers the mnrket closed a little stronger.
The bulk of the hogs sold today nt $3.10.
Light stuff sold below that llgure and the
choice heavy weights brought $5.15 or bet
ter. Yesterday It will be noted thul the
bulk of the hogs brought $3 101(5.2',4, which
makes today's nverage a trlllo easier.
