The glut in Peaches. Pears and Plums con- tinues, but dealers do not expect 1t to last more than several days longer As soon as the canners get rid Of their contract fruit they will again buy in this market, when general i'm provernent in prices Is looked for, as the crops are just as light as they have been. A curious and unprecedented feature of the congestion Is the shIpment of Peaches and Pears back to the growers by the commission merchants, in order that they may be dried instead Of being sacrificed here. In former years the growers but they are now, and 1t Is a good thing for them. Of course they lose the freight both ways. Quite number of lots have been thus shipped back.
 Grapes are beginning to pile up somewhat. and the tendency in prices is downward. Other wise there Is nothing new.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Bradstreets hnan- cial review tomorrow will say: Successful progress in the peace negotiations with Spain, and reassuring news as to the crops, produced a further buying movement In the railroad share list The activity a decidedly larger scale and the outside public was more of factor than for some time past. London was a seller here on the advance in the early part of the week but the later developments in ciuded not only increase Of transactions in Americans, but an increasing interest III them by the London public. The speculation here presented many indications that large profes- sionaI interests had resumed operations on the bull side and signs were not lacking In the closing days of the week that such people were realizing speculative profits. slight tempo rary hardening of call loan rates can not be said to have had much effect in sentiment in the street nor Is attention paid to the steadl- ness of exchange and the postponement or gold importations for the present at least. The principal factors were the growing certainty that the Spanard would submit to the terms of peace laid down by our Administration, and the even more important indications that the spring wheat crop not damaged ana that there had been much exaggeration In reports of the reduction of the corn yield. The recent rains at the West had done much to disslpate the IInfavora ble notions on these matters and the work was completed by the exceptionally Ia vorable character of the Government crop re mort published on Wednesday last. The beiet that railroad traffic and earnings of the West has made the granger stocks the feature or the market. .,,. ... old issues receded fractionally realizing. but the new 3 per cent bonds. after a silSht Teac- ton recovered to 105h.

Further encourag, ing features have been the accentuated demand on foreign account for wheat and corn, Whlch Is reflected in advances for those cereals in sDIte of a rather more favorable than expected Government report of possible yield.

CHICAGo GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO Aug. R.-Renewed indications or smaller receipts at Western primary markets together with better prices at Liverpool gave wheat a good start. The strained relations between Russia and England growing out Of the friction over China were also factor. Reports showed considerable alarm and the disposition ,ras to cover As there little for sale and the competition sharp, prices gradually iTnDroyeC Tsc The demand for shipping iots of vheaf was better than 1t was yesterday, and a co responding improvement was e1peri- enced in the market for carloads.

The aggregate re ceipts for the day at Western primary markets were 436 900 bushels aeainst 74O,OO0 bushels last year September 7s@1c higher and December gained A93sc. ,

CANNED FRUIT SCARCE IN ENGLAND.

The consumptive demand for salmon Is well maintained, but there is not very large in- quiry from importers. says the London Grocers Gazette. Prices are firm. Fruits are getting into a very small compass indeed. and the mar ket keeps advancing The Marlborough Hill the only vessel on the way, Is overdue, and If she does not make her appearance soon there will be greater scarcity than any experlenceQ for many years Her non-appearance would mean that the market would have to depend upon overland supplies.
