we're lower, Wn1e Corn was stronger. nay
sold at lower prices, but Ground Feed was
steady Potatoes were weaker and Onions
shade lower. In garden stuff there were only
a few changes. Giltedged Butter is hrmer,
but other grades are still weak Eggs are
steadier with irmer tone. Poultry was
demoralized; receipts came to hand from
nearly every shipping point in the State.
Apples and Plums were weak at lower
prices, but other tree fruit were fairly strong.
Berries were steady. Melons are coming in
more freely.
New York mail advices just to hand report
that cable from Liverpool says the London
Times estimated the Wheat crop of England
at . per cent. less than last year. The Wheat
crop in the United Kingdom last year was
72,l27, 900 bushels, against 73,354,OO
bushels the previous year, ana this estimate
would reduce the crop to 6S, ,420,O 900 bushels.
The acreage is the smallest on record; but this
outturn is better than expected.
Mining shares opened weak and dull this
morning. After the regular call the market
continued inactive under bear reports, one Of
which was that j. w. Mackay is going 10 Eu-
rope before coming to this coast. The news
from the mines is uniformly favorable and
points to better times. Probably to the i'm
proYe1nent in the mines is due the present
depression in the share market, for by making
IL unattract1ye more shares can be bought
AT the annual meeting of the Overman Min
ing Company the shareholders, by vote, au-
thoriZed the new Board of Directors to lease
or buy mill ut which To have the compauy's
ore reduced. Evidently the disclosures in the
now famous suit of NJ w. Fox against the Di-
rectors of the Hale Il Norcross Mining Co.,
have awakened shareholders to a keen Teali-
zation Of how the mines are worked and the
orr loI i,,
against the many. By the different compa-
MES owning or leasing the mills at which the
ore is reduced there is less opportunity for
coilusion, and, therefore, all the bullion ex-
tracted is more apt to go to where it belongs
to all shareholders.
