WEEKLY MARK EFT REVIEW,
By VIM. II. Williams

By Vim. T. Williams.
The cotton market was very quiet
and without any feature of impor-
lance. Some early Improvement in
prices was not maintained, closing fig
ures being only a shade over those of
a week ago. Crop reports are becom-
ing less favorable, owing to continued
rains and increase of the boil weeVils
in Texas. Generally speaking, no ma
terial set back has yet occurred, but
the existing condition may be regard
ed as critical. The New York bull
clique appears to be still in evidence,
although the outside trade so far
shows little inclination to assist in adj
Vancing the market. Should the rains
hold on during the ensuing week it
will be another story.
Wheat was active and excited. After
a week of violent fluctua lions, mostly
upward, the market closed at a net
gain of S1aQ4c, which was some 3Q4c
below top figures.
The government report on Wednes-
day did not take into account the re-
cent sensational damage reports on the
spring wheat crop, and with this res
ervation was rather more bullish than
had been expected. OF course, wheat
at 81 is a different proposition from
wheat at below soc, as it was when
the writer began advising its purchase,
a few months ago, but conditions have
also changed since then. The crop is
turning out not a merely fair yield, as
was then deemed probable, but an act
ually short one. 1t appears to be fully
10 per cent. short of last years, and
there is practically no surplus now left
over. This, considered alongside of
the further fact that crops in Europe
have also further deteriorated, leads
to the conviction of very wild specu-
lation, and much higher prices. Wheat
may do something like what cotton
did last season; a wheat crop of $780,
100000 bushels and that in a year of
shortage in Europe is hardly on a rela-
tive parity with a cotton crop of 49,
100000 bales. We are likely to have a
wild market and purchases are only
advised on the downward oscillations.
In the provision markets weakness
developed in pork, owing to some SELL
ing by packers and liquidation of
weaker longs, causing a net loss for
the week of soc a barrel. Other prod
ucts were better sustained, lard clos
ing unchanged, and ribs only 1212c, is
points lower. The spell of liquidation
appears to be about over, and the mar
ket again offers an inviting opportuni-
ty for investment, with a continued
preference for ribs. The sensational
and excited market for provisions may
start now almost any day.

And He Can't Battle at Asbury Park
Now.
For using a big Damn" Charles e.
Horn, Philadelphia patron at the
Hotel Berwin, according to Saturdays
New York Herald, says that the privi-
leges of the beach bathing pavilions
at Asbury Park have been refused
to him. Mr.. Horn says that a prudish
young woman at the Fourth avenue
bath house is responsible for his
troubles.
As he was walking in front of the
"valuables" window Thursday a friend
appeared and hailed him with evil
dent pleasure. Hurry up, Horn. and
take your swim and then come on to
New York with me and I'll show
you the town." said the friend.
mo, I'll be id if 1 WILL" replied
Horn with good natured smile,
and then he asked for a "valuables'
check.
The young woman at the window
had overheard the conversation be-
tween the two men and, so Mr.. Horn
alleges, refused to give check to him
for his jewelry.
When he put in an appearance yes
terday at the same bathing pavilion
accommodations were refused to him,
and he further alleges that when he
began to argue with the person at
the window, Policeman Joseph Burns
was called in and Mr. Horn was
forcibly elected. He promptly went
to the justice of the peace, where he
swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Burns on the charge of assault and
battery The hearing was waived yes
terday afternoon. and Burns gave a
bond to await the action of the grand

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall street.

The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall street.
New York, Aug. 13.-The stock mar
ket continues to show a good under
tone, chiefly because of improved bus
mess conditions and the satisfactory
crop outlook. In addition, the strength
of the traction stocks infused fresh IN
terest in the market, and even some of
the long neglected industrials showed
a disposition to respond to better bust
ness prospects. The iron trade grad
ually improves, and it seems certain
that the last quarter of the year is
going to be the best for this branch of
industry. Railroad managers look for
heavy traffic during the fail and win
ter, and as labor agitation subsidies
the business improvement seems likely
to extend. Our political situation pre-
sents no disturbing issues, so that ap-
prehensions on this score are need
less. The monetary situation also
continues favorable, inasmuch as the
crop demands which will begin short
ly, are not likely to interfere with easy
rates for money. Funds are relative
ly plentiful in all parts Of the country,
and the New York banks are carrying
a reserve of about $50, 900, 900, which Is
much the heaviest surplus of the last
ten years. Gold exports have COM
menced and seem likely to continue,
especially in view of a short supply
of grain bills this year; but future
cotton bills should soon be plentiful.
Moreover, the loss of a few millions
would be slightly felt, so that no con-
Germ is necessary on this account.

Manchester, Aug. 14-After a some
what lessened demand in the cloth
market early in the week considerable
Improvement was noticeable in an av-
erage turnover. China merchants
were the most active operators, find
ing a ready sale abroad for purchases.
From India there was an increased de-
mand for shirtings for early shipment
at improved limits. More business was
transacted for best finishing and
bleaching qualities. There was fairly
healthy demand for yarns and the
turnover was moderately satisfactory.
Cloths of descriptions suitable for the
home trade were in plentiful supply
and there were occasional sales.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 22.-The State
horticultural Commission has issued
the following circular in connection
with the convention of fruit growers
to be held at San Jose:
Very complete arrangements are
being made for holding the next Fruit
Growers Annual Convention (the thir-
tieth) at San Jose. The convention will
open on Tuesday, December 6, and con-
tinue until Friday, the 9th. The Uni
tartan church. one Of the best build
ings in San jose, has been secured for
the purpose. Arrangements have been
made for a public reception. to the at
tendants at the convention and provi-
sions have also been made with the
hotels for reduced rates to members,
while the railroads will issue excursion
tickets to all wishing to attend.
Fruit conditions in California at the
present time are at a somewhat low
ebb, owing to the disorganized condi-
ton of the growers. How to remedy
this will be the great subject to come
up for consideration at the convention.
This is vital matter and one in which
every fruit grower in California is di-
rectly interested. harmonious or
ganization, by which the various grow
ers can work together, means success
in their business and fair profit for
their labors. Failing in this, ruin
stares them in the face. Realizing this
condition. the fruit growers are NOV
ing to attend this convention in large
numbers. and it unquestionably will be
the most important and best attended
that has ever been held in .he State.
Every possible arrangement has
been made for the comfort of the
guests. AS the convention is to be
held in the most ceptral part of the
State, within easy reach of all sections,
and as the railroads are lending every
aid in the matter of bringing the fruit
growers together on this occasion, we
may safely look for very large gath
ering and from the deliberations of the
members of this convention we may
hope to bring the fruit industry out of
it's present slough and put it once more
upon paying basis 1t is to the in
terest of every fruit grower in Cali
fornia to be present at this con-
Vention.
