Couufry Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Trade in this line is only fair. Melons and
tomatoes are in large supply and markets show
downward tendency. Creamery butter is
very firm at higher prices. The advance OF &c
per pound at Elgfn on Monday Is fully sus-
tanned. Markets there are strong at the ad-
vance. Eggs are dull and slow, owing to large
receipts of Western stock. Nearby eggs are
steady. Grapes are coming in freely from tho
West and prices are drifting downward. Re-
cent rains have very much improved prospects
of home-raised vegetables. There is a variety
of opinion as to value of best brands of cream
cry butter. One jobber puts prices up to 25c
per pound. On the other hand retail dealer
in Diamond market proffers to furnish the best
at zoe per pound. The real market stands
about midway between these figures. cash

A PROSPEROUS INDUSTRY.
Shoe Uppers In Active Demand and Orders
Placed Months Ahead.

The manufacture Of shoe uppers has of late
years become one Of Pittsburg's important in.
dustries. Atour leading establishment in this
line, where about 80 hands are employed.
mostly girls and women, it was learned that
business is now in a very prosperous condition.
Orders are now on the books sufficient to keen
the entire force employed mp to the middle of
October. In the orders every part of the con-
tinent is represented. The New England
States which lead in footwear, are among our
best customers in this line. Recent orders from
Nova Scotia Texas and California have been
received. Trade this year has SO far shown an
increase Of fully 20 per cent In volume over
last, and prospects for tall trade are bright
enough to increase this percentage before the
years volume is closed. As to prices there is
little change from last year. Domestic calf
skins have advanced of late. But the buIk Of
the stock worked up into shoe uppers is French
and there has been no change in prices of
French calfskins. Orders from Eastern STATES
show largest increase this year over last The
trade is now at its best as retailers are nlacinc
their orders for fall and winter There is an
unusually active demand for luck slippers to
be used inside of rubber boots. This depart-
ment of the shoe upper trade has had a
phenoh5epsl growth in the past two or three
years.

OIL MOVES UP.

The Bulls Have Their Innings After Long
and Patient Waifing.
Yesterdays oil market was the best for
long time, both in tone and business. 1t had
an upward tendency all day. and the close was
next to the highest point and 1&c better than
the opening.
New York was the center Of the bull move
ment She wired an order here for big
block, but got only part of it at 9015. This set
the ball in motion, and Oil City and Bradford
started in to buy. Pittsburg sold nearly all
day, but bought a little on breaks by way Of
diversion.
The range of fluctuations was: OPENING 901I;
highest, 921s; lowest 901z: closing, 903z. Refined
was marked up at New York. Reports showed
of stocks These conditions naturally enough
made a strong market. The posted clearances
were 81 900 barrels. 1t is thought Buckeye GER
tificates will be ready by the 18th.

NEW YORK. August There was not much
change in the drygoods market. Demand with
agents was fair, with some activity in bleached
sheetings. popular brands of which are sold
ahead of production. A good many Western
clothiers are in the market, and further de-
was relatively active. The market has NOT
had so many retail buyers in it for many years
as now, and a large fall trade seems assured.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcHi
ScoTTDALE, August THE volume OF pusi-
ness transacted in the coke market continuee
to be extensive, as is evidenced by the immense
shipments. There is seemingly unusual V'gol
TO the market. The demand is of large propoiz
tions. which, with its steadiness is a good inui-
cation of a healthy fall trade. Operators are
eagerly watching and discussing every poin',
and will make persistent endeavor to preserve
the present agreeable conditions. Shipments
are still increasing, many works are making
six days and production Is travelling aiong
in the same groove with the demand
Consumers are taking no chances. but are or
dering conservatively. The mad rusn oI ao.N M
Ity in the present trade and the conditions @ SUI
rounding the future outlook is very rosy: Inc
assumption of certain persons that trade Will
shortly go downward is untenable. Inc out
look was never better at this stage OF tne
year. All of the furnaces, with possioy
couple of exceptions, are taking coke in
good quantities. There are many orders for
crushed coke and that grade is beginning TO
the West.
Prices are as firm as ever, with no apparent
indications of q change. Operators generally
express themselves in favor of no change. The
previous month slightly in the way OF
the amount of coke sent out There
was a noticeable increase in Western
shipments. A number of idle ovens were
also started and many, of the plants operated
uninterruptedly making six days per week
during the month. The first and second weeks
shipments we're comparatively small, but was
expected on account of the torrid weather.
The works observed the Thursday
shutdown last week and will make
a repetition this week. The Mahoning
and Hill Farm plants are still out of operation.
The fire still RACES in the Hill Farm mine.
Forty-six overs will be blown out at the
Southwest works on account of the scarcity of
water. The car supply was moderately fair
last week. They were not as plenty as was
hoped for on some roads. but there was a large
coke shipment nevertheless. Shipments last
week averaged l. 207 cars. as against l. ll3 cars
of the previous week. Pittsburg shipments in
creased Is cars; western shipments increased 625
cars, and Eastern shipments decreased 90 cars;
total increase over previous week of $40 cars,
Shipments last week were consigned to the
points of consumption as follows: To points
west of Pittsburg, 4 42o cars; to Pittsburg and
river points. $50 cars; to points east of Pitts
burg, l. 100 cars. Total, 7,240 cars. This was the
record of the preceding week. To points west
of Pittsburg $50 cars; to Pittsburg and river
points, l650 cars; To points east OF Plttsburg,
$50 cars. Total 6,675 cars.
Prices remain the same. as follows: furnace
