There is hardly a thing in the grocery
line that is not worth more money today
than 1t was u month ago. Some of the
advances are quite marked. while In
others 1t is simply change from weak
or steady market to a strong market,
with quotations not perceptibly higher.
There is complete change in the scnti-
ment prevailing in the wholesale grocery
business from that which prevailed sixty
TO ninety days ago. Despite the frmer
prices tho buying goes steadily on and In
tact seems the most active in those prod
ucts that have advanced the most
The one notable exception TO the adj
Nancing tendency is green coffee. That
article seems to be seeking lower level
due mainly to the enormous stocks in ali
parts of the world 1t will take some
time TO absorb enough to put it in "a posi-
ton to 20 much higher, but it is hardly
likely that there can be any further de-
cline of consequence.
Refined sugar has not changed since
the advance some weeks ago. Some peo-
pie are said 10 have inside information
that 1t will be hc higher III September,

Houston, Friday. August 20.
While wheat is making great strides
| upward cotton remains weak and de-
pressed. Sentiment is favorable to one
and against the other. Everyone is rush
ing to buy wheat before 1t reaches the
sl-valae but cotton is neglected and with:
out friends. Bcartsh features have DOM
mated the market for two weeks. and all
deliveries beyond August range around
Gl4c at New Orleans and below &c at New
York.
Spot prices were nc lower at Houston
and New York today. New Orleans re-
duced middling Lice and the higher grades
nc. The spot demand was slightly bet
ter at the decline, and very good sales
were recorded at New York and New Or
leans. Reports from several Texas in
terror towns state that receipts have de-
creased % to 30 per cent since the recent
rains and II Is thought that Houston will
have comparatively light movement next
week. For tho nineteen days of August
that have elapsed receipts here have been
5000 bales: the total for the month will
probably reach G5. COO.
Liverpool futures were S-6id lower at the
close Of today's session. while spots were
reduced 1-32d. Spot sales were only 7iOo
bales at the decline. Exporters state that
on tcddys Liverpool market spot cotton

chester is stll sending out doleful reports
IN regard to trade. and there is very little
foreign inquiry for raw cotton Seven
thousand bales are afioat for Liverpool,
against 10000 at this time last year.
The American speculative markets were
6a7 points down at one tine, but final
figures showed loss of only 1m3 points.
In New York the September future first
sold ut 6.SS advanced to COL and then
fell to G.SS again. There was Il rally to-
wards the close and final figures were

Houston expects $500 to $500 bales to-
morrow, against 5l5S for the same day last
year. The coming weeks receipts are es-
tlmated at 22.OC0 to 5000 bales, against
Al 600 in 1896.

American cotton held at seven of the
principal markets of the world today, this

Local dealers will be compelled to adj
vance linseed oil again in a day or so,
as prices are higher In ST. Louis, CHI
cago and elsewhere, and flax seed is still
booming. Prices of oil jumped about 10
cents per gallon during the past two
weeks.
Pig lead and white lead are steadily
advancing also, and this. of course, means
an advance in paints, of which they form
the main basis. The result has been to
stimulate buying OF prepared paints by
retail merchants and local wholesalers are
doing a big business in that line.

FIRST patent flour is now worth $500
per barrel That is the price quoted by
Minneapolis and Kansas mills and also
by the Texas Star Flour Mills of Cal
weston. The product of the latter con-
Germ was advanced zoe per barrel today.
1t has been going up by dime and double
dime jumps for :. month past. and
todays advance makes q total gain of
81 20 per barrel since July 20. At this time
last year Tidal Wave was quoted at $500
or 81. 30 per barrel lower than the present
price.
Wheat advanced SIC per bushel In near
ly all markets today. Tho September de-
livery closed at 93c in Chicago, the high
est Irice that has been recorded since the
spring of 1891. In that year Chicago wheat
reached the top at $l.l6 per bushel. Tho
Galveston flour mills are now compelled
to pay sl.00 per bushel for wheat deliv-
cred at that port. and North Texas farm
ers are securing 90a94c for their grain ON
the spot.
The wheat talent does not know what
TO say to the price now. a 2Sc advance
makes new buying look hazardous. The
rise IN July and August 1891 was no
greater than this and the European snort
age was more sensational in that year
