There were two Important features to the
general market last week which should be
noted. One Is the effect the dry weather
Is having on the grocery market, and til"
other Is the effect of the strike of the metnl
workers on the hardware' mark' t. As

A week ago the grocery market was re
ported as advancing at a rapid rate, owing
to tho dry weather, which had materially
reduced the amount of vegetables and
umall fruits that were available for pack
ing. The same conditions still exist, only
perhaps In a more marked degree, as tho
true conditions are now better known than
thoy were a week ago. There Is no doubt
now but that the pack of corn, tomatoes
mid small fruits will be exceptionally light
and many predict that prices during lh
coming season will lie the hlghct ever
known. Already many lines have reached
the hlghetit market reported 111 a long
I'orlod of years. Sweet corn was seriously
damaged all over the country, as that Is
earlier than tho Held corn, and for that
reason felt to a marked degree the effects
of the drouth and heat. Prices on corn
have been going steadily upward and have
now reached fMfjPOc per dozen for stand
ards. Tomatoes have also advanced
sharply and standards are held at about
J1.W1. Canned pens arc In a very strong
position, though they hnve not ndvnnced
as rapidly as some other lines. All small
fruits are much higher than they were a
week ngo and arc still advancing, and the
name Is true of wax bonus.
California canned fruits are also on tho
up grade, owing to the shortago In eastern
frjlts and to tho prospect for higher prices.
Gallon apples are very strong and higher
prices ure now quoted than thoso In force
u. week ago.
The dried fruit market Is also going up.

week entirely. California evaporated apri

lolled . outs advanced, very sharply tho
first of the week, but receded a trllto later
on. but prices are still 10(i15c higher than
tnoywero a week ago. Sago and tapioca
are nlso considerably higher than nt last
report and tho samo may bo said of
nearly all kinds of farinaceous goods.
Owing to the reported shortage In tho

considerable extent and as a resilt cheese

Sugar and coffeo are two of the few
staple lines that havo not chunged during
tho week.
A Shortage In Sight.
Local hnrdwaro Jobbers report business
for tho last week ns being fully as good as
they could reasonably expect. Reta' ors
are now sending In quite liberal oide'S
and they all seem to bo counting on a good
inn uemanu me one mm. iiuKvin, "
hardware men are Intereitcd In Is the
strike, which promises lo create a shortage
ln many lines of manufactured goods. 'I he
effect Is already beginning to be felt by
local Jobbers to a considerable extent, as
they nro unable to get many lines of goois
fast enough to llll their orders. The strlko

the more common lines, but n thousand and

of n local Jobbing ho.iso said tha he was
unable, to get a shipment of grindstones
simply because the strike hid cut off th
supply of one little piece of metal tmd

There have not been very many dry goods

they are expected to arrive ln tho near
future In largo numbers. Ueports from
traveling men are very encouraging ami

advance orders at u rapid rate, so as Jo

NEW YORK M'OCICS AM) llO.MIS.
Prices Open Higher on Xcrrs of Strike
Conference,
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Prlces opened
higher today under the operations of small
attendance of professional traders on the
''"aril, who were apparently lnlluenccd by
the belief thnt the renewed conference. 0.1
the steel strlko gave promise of a cjiii-
promise and n resumption of work. Hoth
tho United Stntes Steel stucks rose a polr.t
over last night and St. Paul opened n point
and n fraction higher. There was an nd
vance of 34 points In Consolidated Ons for
some unexplained renson, nnd gulns of a
point or more In United States Leather
preferred, American Cotton preferred, Peo
ple's Ons, Pncltlc Mall, St. Lawrence nnd
such Inconspicuous stocks. Selling orders
nppeared when the limit statement was
published, whether for the purpose of tak
ing profits by room traders or from nn un
favorable Interpretation of that document
would be hard to suy. The rither larte
Increase In the loan Item wns not a
strengthening factor, but the Increase n
cash largely offset Its effect on tho surplus
reserve Item. Tho selling nt the Inst, though
small, seemed rather urgent und cirrlid
prices rather precipitately to the low on
level of the day. Tho closing Itself was
weak and near the lowest. The railroad
bond market wns as far from retl ct'nt
anv demand for securities ns that for storks
nnd wns dull and heavy throughout. New
United Stntes 4s have declined lVj per cent
on cnll during the week.

CATTLE There wcio over 60 cars ot
cattle reported In this morning, but most of
them wero consigned direct to u locnl
packer and not offered on tho market, so
that there wns nothing with which to test
the market. Tho supply for the week Is not
far from the same us the receipts last week,
but a decrease Is noted ns compared with
tho corresponding week of last year.
The market on beef steers advanced rap
Idly the first three days of this week and
by Wednesday, which wns the high day of
tho week, values wero 25&-10C higher than on
the previous Friday. Tho greatest advance
wns on tho medium grades. Since that tlmo
tho tendency of values lias been downwnrd,
on tho medium cattle In particular, so that
the week closes with tho general market
15i23c higher than on Friday of last week.
Tho demand wus good most all the weok
and the yurds were cleared at a reasonably
early hour.
The cow market has also Improved con
siderably this week, us the light receipts
prevented buyers from tnklug off the latter
part of tho week what they put on the llrst
part. Tho general market can Bafely bo
quoted a quarter higher for the week. The
quality of tho offerings was exceptionally
common and In fact there was only 0110
bunch of really cholco stuff and thnt sold
for f 4.5(3, which shows what good fut cows
und heifers will bring.
Hulls have not changed much during the
week, but still anything nt all deslrablo Is
fully us high as It was n week ugo. Veal
calves aro u little higher than last week, as
fO.OO wus paid this week for good stuff.
Stags have also Improved somewhat.
Stockera and feeders advanced shandy
tho llrst of the week, but the last two or
three days have not sold finite ns well. As
compared with the close of hiBt week prices
muy now be quoted safely lBti'.'ic higher.
HOGS There wns u good average Satur
day's run of hogs hero toduy, but buyers
started In early and tho market opened
nctlvu and Just about steady with yester
day's closo, or about 24c higher than
yesterday's general market. Good mixed
hogs began moving toward the scales at
f5.T"'.. und $3.S0. v.hllo the better grades of
heavy hogti sold from f5.S2V: to Jo. 90. Tho
light hogs sold slowly trom J5.77H down.
Thu bulk of the offerings was out of llrst
hands It good season, but along toward
tho last end packers did not seem to bo
quite us unxlnus for supplies and the close
was u trllle weak. Light stuff In particu
lar wus hard to dispose of.
The biipply of hogs for the week shows 11
decrease as compared with last week, I ut
there Is still a big liicrcuso over the cor
responding week ot lust your. The demand
nt all market points has been In good
shape ami us a resjlt prices havo advanced
considerably. Tho advance for the week at
this point amounts to nearly 20c and prices
are now ut the highest point rcuched slnco
July 13. It Is Interesting to note what tho
hogs cost on tho corresponding dates for
tho lust several years. On August 3, 1!W0,
tho overage was f3.13; In lsD'J It was $1.33,
In Wis $3.07, In 1S97 $3.17 and in 1SU6
$2.S3. There Is an advance, then, over tho
year 1S90 of closo to $3 per hundred. Rep

8IIIJK1' There wcro no fresh receipts of
sheep nnd lambs hero today, so that the
market was not tested. Tho supply for tho
week shows 11 big gain over tho receipts
of the Inst govern! weeks nnd nlso nn
enormous Increase over tho corresponding
week of last year.
Tho tendency of prices on ewes and
wethers bus been downwurd most of the
week and the decline as compared with
tho close of last week amounts to about
1511250. Good stuff scorns to bo In fairly
active demand, but tho common kinds aro
very hard to dispose of ot any price.
Ilalf-fat stuff packers will hardly touch
and In most enses has to sell for feeders
at feeder prices.
Lambs sold In good tdiapo at about steady
prices all the weeH until about Krtday,
when the feidtnu was wenk. Half-fat and
common stuff, though, wus neglected, tho
same as noted nliovo rnr sneep,
The demand for feeders continues verv
light nnd prices aro lower than they were
a week ub'o. Commission men Bay that
farmers who havp a ploce to feed sheep
or lambs can now get them that aro worth
the money.

The average gusher How Is 45,000 barrels a

In all the comnnnv's cnlculatlons of profit.
they have based their figures on u How of

ONH such well means n million dollars
yearly income. The company has nmplo
room on Its Hnlndle-Tou lielchts property
alone for 8IX wells.
ONH well, with a 10,000 barrel How, will
nav dividends of 80 per cent on tho present
price of stock, GOc per shuro.
Tha enmnnnv has over 11.000 acres outsldo
of Hplndlo-Top Heights, Including sulphur
