Especial Correspondence RrCoRD-UN1ox.l

In general merchandise the market did not
show any material change. London advices
report very heavy sales Of California canned
fruit with Pears fetching more money than
Peaches. Late advices from Japan report the
Rice crop poor, although it was still time TO
make good yield if the weather changed for
the better. Eastern mail advices report the
outlook favorable for the largest Rice crop on
record. In farm product the market was re-
ported still weaker for Wheat, with no sellers.
Barley was slow, as were Oats, Rye and Corn.
Heavy receipts of Bran from up north broke
the market. Hay was steadier for the more
choice grades. Garden truck was fairly
steady. Butter was frmer, with an advance
secured. Eggs and Cheese were unchanged.
Choice Peaches and Pears were stronger, with
an advance paid for the former. Poultry was
fairly steady. Live stock was weak for
Bullocks. Provisions and Beans were dull
but strong.
