So long as coal comes to hand as freely as 1t has been doing recently, consumers will have cause for complaint as all un- filled contracts are now being cared for.

This Is ab- solutely assured. as all the coal freight from Australia procurable into the first three months of 1899 has been already engaged at full rates; besides, the Colonial mail just at hand states pretty positively there will be an advance of products after January next This will be good news to our Coast coliery owners, as they regu- late their scale of prices by the delivery cost are low enough dSs from Swansea), but their cargoes are unprocurable pro tenn, as the coal wages.

 The output of iron and steel no longer meas ures the demand, and the stipulated stop pages of furnaces in the Shenanso and Ma- honing valleys has raised the price of besse- mer pig at Pittsburg to s10 50 and of gray forge to S9 25, without any certainty whatever that such prices can be maintained when the valley furnaces resume operations. as some or them are now doing. The natural result Is that the Pittsburg region Is so much the less able to compete with the great Illinois com bine just formed, which Is getting all the business 1t can do and promises to turn out Iron at less cost than any other works Tn the country At all points bars promise larger output than ever before and structural forms and plates in heavy demand. while the tinplate producers have felt themselves obliged to advance prices about ten cents per box and the sales are said to be very heavy.

DRIED FRUITS IN THE EAST.

NEW YORK Aug 26.-The Journal of Com merce says: The spot stock of California dried fruits carried over from last year In icehouse has, 1t is reported. been nearly absorbed by the current wants of consumption. and at the present time the spot supply, particularly or apricots and peaches, Is said to be much smaller than usual at this season Taken In connection with reports from the coast that the outnut this year has been of the lightest on record the feeling is very firm and the tendency of prices Is upward. The apricot crDp this season was, is now generally knnwn exceedinrly short and the fruit for the most part was of small size. The export demand has taken most of the stock. leaving little for home wants. The shortage in peaches has caused a strong feeling in that article and prices are decidedly higher for both spot and to arrive There Is considerably stronger feeling in the market for California prunes Recent sales of California fruit were made for early forward shipment at 3Ad3fc f. O. b., hut to-day 3xc f. O. b. seemed to be the inside price for shipment and holders appeared to be indifferent sellers at that figure

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. Aug. Manifestations in tho tion of profits was for the present and on the long side party confirmed to-day. Prices went up sharply at the opening, but there sufficient selling orders placed with commission houses to reduce the gains in the grangers and put a stop. to the advance. The enormous absorption of the Northern Pacific stocks, however, unabated and the az gressive strength shown by sugar also helped the early rise. The large outside offerings to take profits served materially to decrease the buying movement, however, and a period of sudden movement in Union Pacific which rose early above g and was held there for the balance of the day. The preferred stock was also lifted to 67, and the movement extended to the grangers and Southwestern railroads. The Northern Pacific stocks suffered from profit lation. but the advance in the general list was continuous and the uorket broadened so as to embrace a large number of dormant stocks. The grangers were all advanced to near the high point the present movement, and St. Paul rose sharp fraction above it. The close strong.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-The Evening Post s financial cablegram says: Stocks were quiet here to-day, except Americans. which were active and strong. They opened quiet, but soon became buoyant on buying of Northern Pactfc and Union Pacific from Berlin. St. Paul also advanced sharply on belated bears buying, the only sellers being arbtrage houses, where fair margins existed. New York also absorbed stocks readily. Prices closed at the best and arbtrage dealers expressed confidence of fur ther rise in spite of such factors as a fall In wheat Canadian Pacific was sold from Berlin, but 1t subsequently, rallied with Americans

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

NEW YORK Aug 2s.-Bradstreets to-mor- row will say: Business interests In the main reflect the continuance of most Of the 1aVor- able features hitherto dominating the trade situation In the more favored section or the country Prominent in this direction, of course. are the iron and steel and allied industries in which active demand. present and prospective, has led to further price advances, sustained and even increased activity in distribution at most Western markets, with some improvement likewise noted at the South and on the Paclnc Coast steadiness In prices-wheat, corn ana cotton however excepted-a reduced number or business failures. fair gains in railroad earn ing as a whole and bank clearings. in spite or slight reduction from, last week, showing heavy gains over all corresponding perloos m in previous years The lessfavorable elements Ill the situation are the reports of arrested or smaller than expected trade at Eastern mar kets particularly in textile lines, lower quota tions and apparently less aetNe oelnanu aioad i,o abroad for our cereal products ana reduced prices paid for the South's great staple, raw cotton. Qualifying the latter might be men tioned the fact that spring wheat has apparent ly begun to move In the Northwest, ana the promise of large yields in wheat and cotton alike has tended to depress prices.
 In iron and steel the strength developed has been notable, and the confidence expressed IS striking in view of the willingness of new buyers to immediately grant price demands. The situation of the iron and steel mills, how ever. with order books filled for from thirty to sixty days ahead, albeit much of this is at old prices. Is one of aggressiveness, and numer- orders have been turned down because or time limits demanded or Set Tor QellNeTy. fAo- vanced quotations for Bessemer pigiron, steel bilets, lead, copper and spelter are features Of the week and even tinplates show gain In prices after a long period of depression.
 The feature of demand at Western markets this week has been the inquiry from jobbers of dry goods, clothing and boots and shoes, special activity being noted at Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul. Louisville and Omaha
