Deciduous and Citru. Fruits.

Nearly all kinds Of fresh fruits were in free
supply and although trade was of average pro-
portions. the market was generally weak and
dealers found IT impossible to effect clearances of
general offerings. OF the orchard fruits, Bartlett
Fears alone were firm, choice offerings OF
wrapped stock from the mountain districts being
and grapes continued plentiful and dull. the
weather being against trade.
Late mail advices from Massachusetts, say
tnat present indications make 1t evident that
tnls years Cranberry crop will be much bet
ter, both In quality and quantity, than that OF
last year. Estimates as to the probable size
OF the crop vary. but the general opinion seems
TO be that 1t will reach 200. 900 barrels. Should
the crop prove as large as expected the price
will probably be much less than last year. when

New York STOCK Market.

NEW YORK, Aug 2s.-For the first time
since the Pacific dividend became matter OF
public knowledge the stock market today began
business IN an orderly and rational manner.
Trading opened in moderate volume. but prices
soon developed peactionsry tendency. This
seeming change Of sentiment ascrfbed 10 a

the money situation, disappointment at the alb

day. Exchange weakened further to s4s4 lO
early in the day.
The market bore strong evidence of pressure
: N many quarters. among the early weak issues
being United States Smelling and Reading. On
the other hand, Canadian Pacific was pro-
r1ouncedly strong, advancing over points In
