which have followed the better weather
conditions and the better outlook for fall
crops as a result of recent rains. Travel

vested and with a greatly improved out
look for crops yet to be harvested.
In prices yesterday there were few
changes. Linseed oils are weak at the

handled by the wholesale druggists are
firm as to prices. The produce markets are
in strong position. Eggs are very firm at
the advance of Monday Not in many
years have eggs sold in August at u cents
per dozen for shipping. The butter market
is also strong in tone, and on choice stock
2 cents per pound better prices than those
quoted may be realized. Dressed chickens

exaggeration.

steadier, prices ruling the same on all
cereals as on Tuesday. Receipts of wheat
were light, while receipts of corn were
the heaviest in several days, and receipts
of oats increased somewhat. All arrivals
