LINSEED OIL PRICES UP
TEN-CENT ADVANCE AS FIRST STEP
TO BULLING THE MARKET.
Heavy Receipts of Fruits and Vegeta-
bles-POultry, Eggs and Butter
Grain Arrivals a Little Heavier.

Summer dizziness quite in evidence
on the wholesale streets yesterday. The dry
goods houses were making liberal conces-
sions in prices to sell large bills of goods.
The hat and cap stores and milliners were
offering special inducements to reduce their
stocks and in but few lines can business be
said to be active. This will apply to the
wholesale grocers, the druggists. the hard
ware and iron merchants, more than to any
other line. The leather dealers, however,
speak of trade as improving, the advance
in price of leather having given more &C.
tivity to the market, and hides are more
active, which is said to be due largely to
the better quality of stock than to any ad-
vance in prices. On Commission row this,
Of course, is the busiest time, and for Mon
day business quite active. Indications
are, however, for large receipts of fruits
and vegetables the present week and lower
prices may be looked for. Fruits. this ex-
tremely hot weather, are decaying rapidly
and q considerable quantity of inferior
stock goes to the dump heap daily. Prices
are so low and the supply so abundant that
buyers will purchase only good fruit. The
potato market continues active. Old po-
tatoes sell slowly, and with the brisk de-
mand for new potatoes the commission men
able to keep prices firm. Flour is I'M
settled and not until new -four is on the
is doing in wool, the whole season having
been disappointing as TO prices paid and in
the matter of receipts. The produce mar
ket is hardly active. Still, fresh eggs
are in good request at prices quoted and
the same is true of really choice butter.
Receipts OF young chickens are increasing
and with each week they are of better size
and meeting with better sale. Linseed oil
advanced yesterday 10 cents a gallon. The
reason assigned is that the acting syndicate
has purchased the greater part of the new
crop and intends to bull the market. This
was the third advance within week. The
American and National Refining Companies
reduced prices of refined sugars at New
York, ten points yesterday and the Ar
buckles made a cut of five points, making
the prices Identical.
The local grain market presents no new
features. There is slight increase in
volume of receipts. Grain merchants say
farmers are too busy TO deliver grain at
the railway stations, which in some meas
ure accounts for light receipts. The ten
dency of the wheat market is downward in
price. Corn and oats both rule steady at
quotations and are in active request at the
following range of prices. as furnished by
the secretary of the Board of Trade:
