|IcTON WHOLESALE MARKET

goods: The dominant factor OF the weeks
local marker has been activity in spot and
future tomatoes and while fair amount
OF business has been done on the balance
OF the list, yet interest has conferred on
tomatoes TO such an extent as 10 make n
by Tar the most important of the week
Inc sharp decline In quotations OF
last week from 81 for standard rs on tho
14th TO soc basis week ago would under
ordinary circumstances be quite sufficient
TO keep the jobber out OF the marker unfii
settling price was reached mis- decline
OF week ago was brought about entirely
by corresponding decline I'm the cost Of
raw stock, This week the market has been
considerably more settled. and 10 this ex.
tent the trade have covered their wants
with more comfortable feeling than WIS
me case last week. Another feature which
we regard as remarkable OF this week :
buying of new packing tomatoes mas heen
the large area covered
me low quotations more particularly
for the last three days have br6urht ont 4
good many carload orders from distant ses.
tlons' which. together with the good huying
from sections east of the Ohio river. have
drawn upon stocks from day to day and
practically prevented any accumulation OF
conse0uence among Baltimore packers. We
cal particular attention to the fact that re.
ceipts from growers during the last three
daFS nave shown a material falling off as
compared with the FIRST three DAYS OF the
week, and we believe that receipts from
trucking sectlons for the coming week Will
fan below receipts Of this week nor is Il
likely that Baltimore packers win be able
TO make very much Of an output from now
on until the later crop is marketed. which
i Is expected will be about the middle OF
August. 1t Is this feature OF the market
which we regard today as the more I'M
portant and which we believe ought to ia
considered In connection with buying fol
the next two weeks
AS stated in our advices OF week ago
country packers will not as rule begr
operations until August Is to 20 on ac
count Of the crop being late. SO that Bal
timore viii have 70 supply current want.

the same deterioration OF 80 points dur.

be 50. az compared TO 77.2 last year. The
weather conditions during the past month

NO EXTENDED BUYING
IN ANY OF OIL STOCKS.
Anoio-Amcriean and Manhattan Show
Streneth--Slump in Beatty and
National and Pipe.

Trading ut the OIL and Stock Exchange
yesterday covered a broader range than
heretofore during the week, but the buying
was not extended on any portion. The
greatest activity took place when the de-
clines we're most pronounced and the de-
mand was Of very moderate character
Forward Reduction brought a slightly Inn
proved figure from those prevailing IN the
last few days, but the value was distinctly
weak when compared to the price which
the stock formerly commanded. American
on and Refining made a small recovery
from tho low level It has lately reached
aud transfers were on much more liberal
scale. Closing bids showed light gain
over those OF the previous call and holders
moved up their limits l9c from the terms
on which trading took place. Beatty
slumped of TO notable degree and after
sales on basis isc below those OF the
day before there were few bids given even
at further loss OF Ac. Much OF the
stock was obtainahle at the decline while
the wants vt buyers were limited. Empire
State continued to range close TO the bot
tom mark and purchaser for one lot al
lie finally appeared While the later Of
ierings did not vary but little from this
price the bids were very much lower and
great Indifference was manifested by hold
ers Manhattan manifested renewed
strength and sales took place ut gain of
1dSc ON the day The better feeling held
out to the end when buyers prices were
raised 1c and sellers demanded the same
figures formerly asked.
The main strength OF the call conferred
IN Anglo American. which continued 20 sell
at 44lhc and closed with purchasers still
DESTROYS OF obtaining the stock at the lrst
figure. while the lowest offerings We're arm
at the latter. The transfers We're not quite
as heavy as usual. but the fact was chiefly
due to the frmuess with which sellers neld
out for top prices. A sharp slump occurred
IN National OIL and Pipe First sales were
made at a decline Of &c and the quantity
offered ON this basis forced takers down
again This recession was soon met by
holders and caused a rush TO sell around
lac The demand was quickly exhausted
at the reduced terms and while the ask
price was not further lowered the bids were
weak az 26i4c less.
The total sales amounted TO 5000 shares
The prices hid and asked at the clos,

The Market Opened Firm, but Prices
Advanced Rapidly.

New York, August 1 The cotton market
opened quiet and drm with prices l to A

was fairly active during THIS squirt IN
prices The whole character az the market
changed over to the bear side within the
first hour on official reports Of clearing
weather over the entire Western belt and
Of continued showers To heavy ralus over
the Central and Eastern belt sharp re
