activity yesterday; especially wholesale gro
and commission merchants busy. Friday
always is a good day in these two lines. Very
seldom have prices ruled steady day after day
for the last three months. Sugar. which was
to advance sharply, has ruled steady, as well
coffee. The only articles in the grocery line
which rule weak are molasses and syrups and
they taking on stronger Tone On Commits
sion very firm prices realized. The
quality of peaches and apples is improving and
berries are bringing better prices than few days
ago. Oranges are about off the market. Lemons
selling we'll at good prices. Poultry eggs and
butter IL good stock, are in good request and firm
at quotations.

TranscontinentaI War May End

Sir William Van Horn, president of the

FRUITS AND. VEGETABLES
RAILWAYS ARE TRANSPORTING
VAST QUANTITIES OF BOTH.
Claim D&partmeht of the Panhandle
TO BE Concentrated at Pittsburg
-General and Personal.

Freight men state that there has never
been a time when such large quantities of
fruits and vegetables were moving. For ten
weeks the Southern roads have been turn
ing fruits and vegetables over to the North
ern roads for distribution over the North
and East, reaching to New England points,
and south-and-north roads have made fast
schedules to accommodate this business.
The Pennsylvania lines. the Big Four, the
Evansville & Terre Haute, the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois and the Illinois Central
have been doing an immense business and
cast Of here the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Pennsylvania lines have been crowded with
this class of freights. An idea of what the
Panhandle has been doing is shown in the
fact that in the first fifteen days of this
month the road took into Pittsburg more
than two thousand carloads of fruits and
vegetables. A considerable portion of this
freight went still farther east and north
and as the business from the South begins
TO lag somewhat it is setting In from the
North. The Michigan crop of fruits and
vegetables is large, and in few days the
fruit and vegetable crops of Ohio will be-
gin to move. But for this class of traffic
so great was the decline in the grain move
ment. freight business would be light.

New York, April 4.-There was a scram-
bic of shorts TO cover on the call this
morning In the cotton market as the re-
suit of an unexpected Improvement in the
English market. Opening sales developed
an advance of 5QS points, with the market
decidedly firm. Liverpool representa- ves
We're active buyers around the opening
and continued to purchase cotton pretty
much all the day. With the satisfaction
OF early orders. prices began to sag under
lack OF support of any description, and by
midday the early Improvement had been
reduced TO a matter of 3d4 points. Ac-
cording to private cables the better feel
ing at Liverpool was directly due TO a re-
port that the Pope had been accepted ty
both the United States and Spain as arbi-
traitor In the Spansh-American contro-
versy and more peaceful outlook in the
China situation. Subsequent cables at
tributed a partial reaction in the Liverpool
markets to reports from this side that this
government officially denied all reports ie-
lating to the Pope as a mediator. In the
afternoon speculation was extremely light.
The close was steady at a net gain of sal
points.
