LOCAL MARKET REVIEW.

Houston. Friday, September 10.

HouSucn, frlday, september III.
There has been no further advance in
sugar since the gain of 1-l6c recorded in
this column last Wednesday, but reports
from New York state that the demand has
increased to large dimensions and the
general feeling is that higher prices will
be announced in the near future. All
orders in the New York market are sub
1ect to indefinite delay. Importers of
raw sugar have established a further ad-
vance, centrlfugals being quoted 1-l64 NC
higher than heretofore.
All hogs products suffered a sharp de-
cline In the speculative markets today and
local prices are also lower. Meats were
reduced B@Ac at Chicago. St. Louis and
Kansas City. Telegraphic advces stated
that the newspaper reports of new cases
oil yellow fever In the South had demon
allzing effect on the provision market,
causing the sharp break in prices.
The general situation in canned goods
remains very firm, the most notable feat
ure being further advance in and ex-
cited market for tomatoes at packing cen.
ters California fruits are selling well,
and there has been a slight advance in
coast prices of apricots and considerable
advance In lemon and white cling peaches.
The general market for dried fruits pre-.
sents very firm aspect in all lines, with
the demand showing increased activity.
The California markets hold up we'll and
firmly and a slight further advance in
both apricots and peaches Is noted.
Local Jobbers have not been able to
fill more than one-half of their orders for
London purple and Paris green this week,
but expect additional receipts tomorrow
and large stocks the early part of next
week. The worm reports are beginning to
have serious look in some sections.
All nuts have advanced again. espe.
cially those that are imported, and they
constitute the bulk of this countrys sup
ply. Brazil nuts and Naples walnuts are
considerably higher than heretofore.
New canned goods are arriving on the
local market daily. They were nearly all
bought early in the season. before prices
advanced. and were laid down at very
low freight rates.
Domestic sardines hold strong posi-
ton and prices still tend upwards. The
catch this season so far has been the
lIghtest in years
Salt mackcrel and cod fish. and Holland
and Scotch herring are very firm and
higher prices seem likely.
Catsup will be higher this fall. owing To
the short supply of tomatoes in all Sec
lions.
Spices of all kinds are very much higher
than at this time last year.
