returned this morning from their holiday va
cation, and those who were here did not APP
pear TO have fully recovered from their
enforced idieness. In farm products there was
more lie, particularly in wheat and barley,
than has been manifested for some time.
Wheat, both for cash and option, was quite
nrm Verified reports that the visible supply
OF wheat on July 1st was 100000 tons
short of the supply at the like date in 1891,
contributed to the better feeling, as did less
favorable crop advices at the East and abroad.
Gables from London report that the English
crop is estimated at fany 100000 tons less
than was the outurn in 1891, and that In
uia's crop was over 900, 900 tons short. The
early receipts of fruit were cleaned up before
noon, but late receipts were slow when we
went around this afternoon. Seasonable vege-
tables went of quite freely. Dairy produce
was generally fairly steady. Poultry was
scarce and sold higher. On next Monday the
summer wanderers win begin to return, and
by Friday or Saturday all viii be back. With
their return the local consumption of dairy
product and poultry viii be quite heavy,
which will have bearing on prices.
Silver in London to-day was 4o14d, and In
New York S75zc. Exchanges were firm.
Mining shares were active to-day at an ad
vance on Thursdays closing. The improve
ment is claimed to be on better news from
the Comstock mines, and also to a belief in
well-informed circles that in one or two of the
mines they are uncovering a body of rich
ore. In local securities trading was quiet.
The better class of securities command such
high premiums over their capitalized value
as not to offer an inducement to speculative
investors.

WHEAT - The sample market opened
strong and active under free buying The
firm stand taken by farmers against sacrificing

Der OF vessels lay days have about run out.

pearance since last Friday. This addition TO
