all farm pnducta which ih?y have to aell

Retailers' stock are going to pl-ce at a

will be an enormous rtoroer tiadi. Mer
chanta In fact are already sending In heivy
sorting up ordera. whlcn In the very best
evidence that could be found that trade li
fully aa Rood ae anticipated. Mrchanti
a rule bought heavily early In the ita'on,
but evidently they did not over-reach tliem
elvea. A few weeka ago there waa conslderiblo
complaint about the slowns of co.leo.lons,
but ni more talk of that charact. r li
heard. Merchants are now meeting their
obligation promptly, ao th'it m ney 1

carding the general mnrk't situation. Thcr.t

the trad for lomi time past and the ten
dency of prlcea la undoubtedly upward.
Jobbera are all compialiilng about the
scarcity of goods and the Impending short
age. Those who seem to be Lest pos.cd on
the situation any tnat ilium the tabor
trouble are adjusted thi re will be the
worat shortage of fall goods that haa ever
been experienced.
Aaotber Advance la lagar,
I'he sugar market may be suld to be In a
very strong position and an advance of luc
per 100 pounds went Into effect last we ?k.
The demand la now very heavv and con
Bluntly Increasing, so that higher prb-es In
lAe near future are being freely vred.cted.
lnjf market on syrups eased off a lie lie
liT week, owing no doubt to the fact that
refiners are caught up with their order and
are naming these lower prices to clean up
their surplus stock.
1 he tea market Is quoted a little stronger
than a week ago, but there haa been very
little change In coffee.
Operators on the canned goods market ara
stlu watching the situation on tomatoes,
bu(k an stated a week agu the general belief
la that the bottom has been reached and
any 'Increase In demand would cause higher
prlcea to rule. Spot corn haa shown a II: tie
easier feeling, but the movement has
featly Improved, and It ta thought tnat
a rtient prices are about light.
1 There Is also quite an improvement In thi
mand for dried fruits and particularly is
liat true of peaches and apricots. A frost
Is said to have occurred In Culllornla Auiii
11. which Is thought to have injured the
crop of apricots 30 to 40 per cent In some
localities. This news haa had a tendency
to stiffen the market on spot goods and at
advance ot iihic per pound haa gone Into
effect. The market on prunes continues
rather easy and there is an evident disposi
tion on the part of holder to unload.
The rice market Is still in a very strong
position, with fancy Japs practically out of
the market, and medium grades are quoted
o above prlcea ruling two week ago.
Dry- Good Trade Very Brlak.
Dry good Jobber report bouse trade as
being fully a good a it was a week ago,
at which Urn they callad It the beat that It
had been since March 1. Not only has
house trade been brisk, but order business
on good for current shipment haa been
very satisfactory and a great Improvement
ha been noted in sales of fall goods for
. future shipment. Jobbers think that the
prospect of a short supply of many pop
ular line of fall gooda la having a ten
dency to make merchants place their or
ders and as a result traveling men hope ta
break all previous record on advance or
dera. The cotton good market continue to ad
vance and the general lmpreasion la that it
II well under the control of speculator,
who aeem able to dictate the price which
manufacturer muat pay for the product.
Another feature which la tending to ad
vance the price of manufactured good la
th fear of a spread of the strikes which
, have begun at Lowell. If this take place
Jobber say that a great shortage In many
lines and especially In cotton : lunketa and
knap fabrics for fall denvery cannot be
avoided. Taking the entire situation Into
consideration Jobber say there Is no rea
son for looking for lower price on cotton
good during the present year or at least
until after the fall business is over. As a
resuu tney consider merchandise at preaent
price good property.

SHEEP-There were not enough sheep
her today to mak a teat of the market,
but for the week supplies have been about
th same aa for last week and a little
heavier than for the corresponding week
of last ysar. The tendency of prices, how
ever, lias been decidedly downward at all
point and In fact th break la the most
radical of the seuson. All kinds, the better
grade a well as the common kind, can
safely b quoted Wix'.'zc lower than a week
ago. Th principal reason for this sudden
drop, a ha been previously mentioned. Is
th fact that Arizona and Texa grass
sheep are now arriving on tha southern
river market and also at Chicago and a
prospects are favorable tor liberal receipts
from this time on the break In feed stuff
1 not to b wondered t.
The bulk of th offering now coming for
ward at thl time consist of clipped stock
and' tha quality of late has been far from
cbolce. A few bunches of good stuff ar
nv every any, out tne Dig ena is only part
fat. Quit a few wooled lambs ara still
coming.
The feeder market has been very dull all
the week, a the demand and also th
supply ha been very limited. Price hav
of course, followed th downward course
or values on 1st stun.
