FRUIT AT AUCTION.

The New Orleans Fruit Auction Company
Trying to Establish a Branch House in
Pittsburg-Potatoes Scarce and Ad-
vancing-Peaches In Heavy Supply and
Lower.
FRIDAY, September 16.
The usual Friday activity characterized
the local merchandise markets, with the
general tone of trade strong. No features
OF consequence developed, however, to sup
plement the ones exclusively presented In
the last report The only really weak
spots are found in provisions and fruits,
and in these lines lower prices are probable.
The articles that have advanced OF late,
notably sugar, coffee, cheese, syrups,
molasses and timothy seed, are firmly held
and promise to be higher.
The New Orleans Fruit Auction Company
are working to establish q branch house in
Pittsburg. Their idea is to get one of the
produce commission houses to introduce
the feature as a sort of a side issue. Bulger,
Wilbert & Co. are considering the advisa-
rs to enable them to take up the idea, and If
they do so there will be regular daily, tri-
weekly, semi-weekly or weekly auction
sales of fruit, as the season and supplies
may require.
Dressed poultry, packed in ice, is beginning
to arrive, but the demand continues to run
almost entirely to live stock, chickens being
i'll most request.
Potatoes have become scarce and prices
have advanced l5@25c per Dbl. Dealers talk
of So market before late stock becomes
plentiful.

HEAVY LIQUIDATION,
Coupled With Bear Operations, Con.
tinue to Depress Prices.
SUGAR LEADS In THE SELLING,
And Heavy Pressure Is Brought to Bear
Against Reading.
NIPPER AND MANHATTAN PROMINENT

NEW YORK, Sept 16.-The stock mark et
to-day was still subject to heavy liquidation,
which was supplemented here and there by
the efforts of the bears There was no ma
terial decline in the general list The exc
cution Of stop orders for the last two DAYS
has been the principal source of weakness in
the market, and it is hoped that they
are now pretty well cleaned up. The
professional element, however, is still
enlisted on the bear side, principally be-
cause of the unfavorable nature of the sur
face conditions, including the cholera, con-
tinued selling for foreign account, the prob
ability of further gold exports, as well as
dearer money, and also because of the
apathy of the investment public. To-day
the liquidation in Sugar was continued dur
ing the forenoon and the apparent attitude
OF the manipulators of this stock gave much
announcement to the short sellers in the
railroad list but only Reading was the sub
ject OF any particular pressure.
At the opening there was a rather urgent
demand for the shorts, which was stimulated
by higher figures from London and buying
orders by the foreign houses in several OF
their favorites. With the exception of some
weakness in Northern Pacific preferred and
some wide and rapid fluctuations in Man
haitian, there was little of interest In the
market and it began to take its old appear
ance of dullness and stagnation, which even
the raid on Reading failed to check. The
cholera news was, on the whole, rather en-
couraging and late in the day the shorts
again covered freely.
The market closed quiet but firm TO strong,
with most stocks at the best prices of the
day and with all at better figures than yes
terday.
Government bonds were dull and steady

Money In Chicago.

There is still strong demand upon the
banks for accommodations with consider
able inquiry for funds for operations later
in the fall. Rates sustain themselves at 5 to
s per cent in view of the general borrowing.
The main call is from city patrons. The
country is neither drawing very largely
upon its balances at this center nor
asking aid in the way OF loans. On
the other hand, money continues to come
in from the tributary region TO be invested
in commercial paper. The stagnation in
bonds begins to be a subject for gossip.
Whatever the current OF speculation or in
vestment in securities, iG is almost wholly
in stocks. There is still free flow of silver
dollars to the crop ccnters. Merchants re-
port collections prompt as at any time
this year.-Chlc7go Inter OCEAN.

SOME BUSINESS AT CHICAGO.
The Buying Movement Fully in Line With
the Seasons Demands.


CHICAGO, Sept. S-[Soeciai. 1.-The buying
movement now in progress is of reasonable
proportions and Iully in line with that com
mon to this season of the year. During the
past week there have been some good-sized
sales closed, these being divided between
Northern and Southern cokes. On the latter
class of metal prices are somewhat more
firm than has been the case during the past
so days, and furnaces in the Southern dis
trict are now declining business at figures
Which were readily accepted last month.
This action is owing to the fact that the
leading companies have contracted II large
amount OF business and are In no pressing
need OF new orders. Consumers consider
this attitude as simply temporary. and are
unwilling to believe that any stiffening in
prices can be maintained. The most en-
couraginy feature OF the market is the con-
tinued heavy consumption in every depart
ment OF business.
There is practically no business going on in
Lake Superior charccals outside of carlots
and sales of so or 100 tons for prompt Ship
ment- Ohio soft irons are in moderate de-
mand, but on these considerable variation
OF price exists, on account of the choice be-
tween brands.
