BAROMETER OF BUSINESS
Clearer Weather Has Caused an Improve
ment IN Trade.
THE COTTON MOVEMENT JUST COMMENCING
California Fruit In Good Demand
Lemons Are strong and Tending
Higher--Notes About Trade.

Jobbers state that the improvement in the
weather the past few days has caused cor
responding Improvement in business. The
streets are gradually drying up so that
wagons can get out to portions OF the city
where there are no paved streets. In the
country farmers report better conditions than
a week ago, though crops could be great
deal better than they are. There is some
little new cotton moving and undoubtedly
considerable will reach the railway stations
in day or two So far most of the new
cotton has come from Southwest Texas, but
yesterday nearly every road in the State re-
ported the receipt of new cotton. This Is
encouraging to business men, because as soon
as cotton commences to move business be-
gins to pick up in nearly all lines and ihe
jobbers show an air of confidence in the
future.
H. 3. Williamson got in a car OF assorted
California fruit yesterday The consignment
consisted of grapes, peaches pears. plums
and prunes and it was promptly disposed
Of. Mr. williamson says the California
fruit this year is exceptionally fine and the
demand is good.
There is ST. Louis aud Colorado cabbage
being received on this market and prices OF
the latter are soc per crate higher than the
st, Louis cabbage
Potatoes are being brought in from KAN
sas and points in California, and prices are
steady on account of the good demand.
Illinois as well as Missouri apples are ar
irving and are selling we'll Oranges are
scarce. Kirkland & Morrow expect con
s.gnment next week.
Receipts of fruit were only moderate yes
terday Quality, however, was excellent and
good prices obtained. There Is never any
trouble in getting top quotations for prop
ery packed and shipped fruit.
Robertson & Co. yesterday received a con-
signment of grapes raised at Barstow, in
Ward county. They were equal to any of
the imported grapes and found ready sale.
Eggs arc in good demand while the sup
! ply is limited so far as fresh country stock
is concerned. Interior merchants say they
never saw eggs scarce as this season. the
! iohbers expect to be quoting high prices
| the coming fall and winter.
Tomatoes have been coming in slowly of
! late and the quality has not been good. Some
| stock is being received from Kansas points.
The market for lemons is very strong.
/ There is big demand for 3O0s and SG0s end
, these sizes are rather scarce Should large
amount CT small sizes be dumped on the
market there might be break in prices, but
| everything at present points 10 quotations
being firmly held,

SIGNAL soalpers came out with small mar
gin OF profit on account OF the meager specu-
lation.
The Chronicles weather report was rather
surprising. 1t did not give glowing account
ci the growing crop and the result was an
advance right at the opening.
The Cotton and Trade News Of Memphis
came out with rather builish article in
which it said the crop of 10000 would not
be exceeding s,5OO.O00 and unless there was
q change In weather conditions over a large

Liverpool lent little encouragement to the
markets on this side. spots there were l-32d
up, but the sales were only 1000 bales. In
the American spot markets there was no
change in prices and saies were small.
Futures in Liverpool opened at about FRI
days closing prices and closed steady at an
advance OF l-64d.
New York futures opened to points UP
except for August, which was l point lower.
There was very little auctuaton after the
opening and on closing the net gain was
6 to II points. far positions being stronger
than near deliveries.
New Orleans opened with August un
changed and other months to o points
higher than Friday. Closing August was
unchanged and the rest OF the list 5 to 10
points higher than Friday
