ports that the shorts In Northern Pa
eifc had concluded their settlements
both here and abroad selling ceased
and an improvement gradually set IN
all through the list so that the early
losses were fully made up at the close
and in a number of instances material
gains were recorded for the day.
The feature in to-6ay's market were
the Tobacco stocks, American Tobacco
gciniHg s per cent and Continental
common between 4 and 5. The reason
for this advance is said to be the float
ing of the new tobacco company which
is established in the interests of the
above two concerns. There is also talk
OF an early dividend on Continental To-
bacco common. The strength in the
Wabash issues was maintained n the
street arrives at a conclusion that the
advance in D. l.. & w. seems in some
way connected with the Gould systems
plan. This also caused buying If other
Gould stocks, especially of Missouri Pa

namely IL, 1000 increase for 3rd week in

pathy with the general market, which
closes strong and with a more confident

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, May 24.-Wheat was IN
usually dull to-day, but fairly steady.
July closed b@Ac lower. July corn
Bc lower, May corr hc lower and July
oats &@Rc lower. Provisions closed
from a shade higher to sc lower.
Liverpool cables were off about as
expected. Under reports of copious
rains in localities where they were
most needed, the market a nervous
when the session began, and July wheat
opened unchanged to a shade lower at
1875 to 73@Bc. Pit traders soon be-
gan work with a view to quick sales
and some profits and under this con
dition the price declined to 72Ac. At
this point the bulls bought moderately
and a reaction to 73c followed. The
close was steady h@Ac lower at 72k0
73c. Exports of wheat and -four were

a week u~ndertone. Large receipts and
high grading were the depressing fac
tors. Reports that eastern and foreign

seemed anxious to buy at lower figures.

to 45Zc from which under buying by
commission houses it rallied to 44c.

Chicago. Aug. s.-Prices for fruits and
vegetables in South Water street for
rearly all lines are from twice to three
times what they We're at this period a
year ago Damage from the recent hot
spell and drought was particularly
heavy for all kinds of produce and ex-
tended over a wide area of country. The
result has been that the west, middle
west and the southwest are daily draw
ing heavily on the Chicago market for
fruits and vegetables. Good varieties of
potatoes are selling at from so cents to
S1.20 a bushel, against 35 cents to so
cents last year. Cabbage is scarce and
homegrown is selling freely at s2.s5 a
crate and 81 to So hundred. This is at
the rate of about s24 a ton, or three
times the price Of a year ago. Several
onterprising orchard proprietors in
Michigan are packing peaches for mar
ket this season in one-sixth bushel bas-
kets, but the little fellows are not popu-
lar with housewives, who are inclined to
boycott these new "baskettes.''
