sales. Potatoes have been distinguished
by scarcity OF supplies. caused by sud.

doubtless be relieved for future trading.
Onions are a splendid selling article and
supplies are not equal to the wants OF the
public, and upward prices are the ,onse-
quencc. Eggs have materially weakened.
The fresh products are selling nearly 10
cents lower than the top prices reco, led
in the hrst part of the week and an ex-
tremey slow demand has brought about
the result. Few Kansas are on the lar.
Eet and while dealers are reticent as to
the future, several believe in a down ward
course for values.
The banana surplus has been wiped out
and It is difficult to obtain satisfactory sup
plies for shipping. The general fruit coudl-
lions are better.

OIL STOCK SALES INCREAS
liS,ll5 SHARES TRANSFERRED.
PRICE TREND is UPWARD,
AnaIo-Amerioan, Becky Sharp and Mer-
chants and Mechanics Immense Sell
ers-Other Stocks Improve.

Yesterdays session Of the oil and STOCK
Exchange was hummer 1t was a
lengthy one and brought large results. Sew.
eral companies were lnexhaustible in the
selling capacity of their holdings and even
with swelling prices the stocks changed
hands with the swiftness of dying ar
rows. The aggregate transfers went up
to even a big figure when measured by the
late volume of business.
Becky Sharp made slight improvement
again with enormous sales to the credit
of the stock.
Anglo american developed new strength
as a seller and after 10000 shares were
obtained at an upward valuation the wants
of takers were not fulfilled on that basis
Merchants and Mechanics was even a
more popular seller from numerical stand
point but no stride occurred In prices
nearly POGO shares were transferred az SC
Gober sold at gain of Bc from bidders
and Federal Crude brought right sharp
advance above the previous days prices
Houston and Beaumont took an upward
leap, bringing 2092lc and further asking
prices at 24c. Seaboard made gains both
in activity and in value and Higgins
brought a splendid figure. Manhattan went
higher and much larger demand for
the stock developed than has appeared IN
the last ten days. Sellers did not come
under 64c. The first sale in Haywood yet
recorded through the exchange took place
aud on highly favorable terms. The STOCK
sold at So above its par value with asking
prices at $lO75O on the close. Palestine
and Beaumont appeared as a greater ia
vorlte with both bidders and askers ad-
vancng and separated by a narrow diff
ference, Several companies heretofore in
active came into the list as good sellers,
while rhe general tone of prices were to-
wards the higher side,
The total sales reached the immense total
OF 22j shares.
The prices bid and asked yesterday and
the sales made were as follows:
