PROVISIONS Market was strong at the opening, with little better support. There were July ribs for sale around 9.70. Flnley Barrell were sellers of September ribs; Harris-Gate of May. Trade was mostly local and dull. There were 16.000 hogs; mar. nei active ana urn; prices oc nigher than resiliency and the final recovery, when the Uecllne was checked in Metropolian Street Railway, was rather violent In some cases. The reaction had practically wiped out the advances, but some conspicuous stocks rallied almost to the top level In the last few minutes of the trading and the closing was strong in an irregu.ur way. The day s movement of prices was largely profes sional, but was evidently backed by big resources. This was c.early seen by- the aggressive way in which prices were bid up at tbe last against the shorts after their raid on the market. The advance in the market was pursued with some manifest caution and with at tentive consideration of symptoms of a re newal of realizing sales. The progreesive steps of the advance, however, failed to develop any signr of renewed liquidation. On the other hand there was no indication that there was any new outside interest attracved to the market by the advance In prices.. Belated, covering of some large accounts waa in evidence and waa an im portant factor in the strength of some stocks. The advances in the market seemed to have come to a pauee before the audden drop in Metropo.ltan Street Railway and prices gave way quite readily In sympathy with that movement. There had been evi dence all day ot a long supply of this stock In the market and the bears piati.teu u.c.r fierce raid with the nurnose of uncovertnie j atop loss orders and dislodging long stock. Ilia price ren rapmty 0 points, out ine subsequent rally, wiped out 2H points of this loss. Metropolitan Securities fell an ex treme bhi and rallied 4 points. The loss In Third Avenue extended to 6s, on compara tively light dealings and there was no transaction in the stock after the market rallied. Manhattan continued firm and turned strong, rising 294 over las', night at one lime. In spite of ine vote of the em ployes in favor of a strike. The hope Is evidently entertained that a strike will be averted. Some of the standard railroad stocks were comparatively late coming Into the day's movement and there waa an unusually large number of Industrials embraced In the ad vance. Colorado Fuel and General Electric made gains of Peoples uas aavancea 2l4 just at the last and the list of 1 to 2 point gains among the industrials is a lung one. General considerations apparently ruled the speculation, such as the technical strength of a position following so pro longed a downward course of prices with the resultant relief of the money market by liquidation, good railroad earnings, ex ceptionally encouraging crop returns and reports of large current export business In the grain markets. The figures of the week's grain exports were, however, some what disappointing, showing an increase over last week of wheat of 344,492 bu., but a decrease in corn exports of nearly 1.000,000 bu. ' Sub-treasury operations indicate a gain by the banks on that account of tl.633,000 and It is estimated that this figure will bs expanded by about tl, 000.000 from other sources. In view of the, stock market liquidation a considerable loan reduction Is confidently expected in tomorrow's bank Bonds were firm and but slightly affected bv the late flurry in stocks.

Owing to tho liberal receipts packers were very bearish and the market was slow from start to finish, with tne tendeuev of prices downward. Beef buyers old not talce hoid with much life this n.ornlng and In tact It did not seem to make much difference to them whether they got any cattle or not. There have been so many steers on the market this week that packers are pretty well filled up and consequently they did not have to rustle for supplies today. Their bids were generally a dime lower than yesterday, al though some ot the kinds that suited buy ers the best were not a great deal lower than yeatcrday. The msrket was very slow from start to finish and It was late before a clearance was made. The cow market was also rather slow and weak. The very, best handy weight cows and 'heifers did .not suffer to any great ex tent, but others were slow and b'4l-c lower. Sellers did not like the idea of taking off again today, so they held on for some time and the. day was well advanced before a clearance was made. Hrtlls were slow and a ihr.de lower today as a result of the weaker feeling on steers and cows. e.Val calves, though, did no t,how, much chansc. . . There were comparatively few Mockers find feeders in the yards this morning and not many were wanted, as the end of the week, is too near at hand for much to he doiu(f I" the feeder divls-lon. Anything btrlctly choice did not show much change, but the general market was slow and weak. Representative sales: , . BEEF STEERS. Hr.

The bulk of the hogs soid a big nickel higher than yesterday or a good many were calling It 5&'10c higher. The bJlk of the hogs sold from 17.10 to 17.15, with the prime heavies going from t7.16 to 17.30. There were comparatively few light hogs on sale this morning, but those that did arrive sold from 17. lo down. Owing to the scarcity of the light hog the range of trices today was narrower than It has been for some time past. Trading waa fairly active, so that the bulk of the hogs waa "on disposed of. but on the close the feel ing was, If anything, a Uttla weaker. Rep resentative sales: No. Av. Sh.

CALIFORNIA DRIED FRUITS There is slight Improvement in the demand for spot prunes and some Jobbing bti8lnV8S ha been reported. The market continues easy, however, at prices ranging from tc to 6V for all grades. Prices show considerable firmness without special activity, w tn choice quoted at 7'jS"I4c and fancy at 9,ii 104c. Peaches are dull and without change at 746c for choice and 6439c for fancy. SHEEP There was not a very large run of sheep and lambs here this morning but the market was ratber slow and weak, as the demand waa not very brisk, and be sides that, the reports from other points have been unfavorable to the selling Inter ests all the week. The break In prices this week has been the most disastrous and far reaching of the seaaon, as all kinds have been affected, the good kinds as well as the common stuff. There was very little good stuff here today with which to make a test of the market, but some lambs of fairly good quality sold at $676. The situation could best be described by calling the market slow and weak. There were not very many feeders on sale today, but It is safe to say that the price of feeders has been follqwlng the downward course of fat stuff.
