Los Angeles nInrkets

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.-Prices of local
ranch eggs were advanced &c to &c dozen.
Light receipts and decrease in the production
are the prime reasons for the rise in values. Bid

ings and the session closed without sale being

from the rise in egg prices nothing of interest
developed at the call. Dealers reported good
business for Monday and there firmer un-

favorable circumstances all of the supplies

which arrived on Sunday and there was no delay
in getting the stocksto the stores. Business was
active during the early trading and continued
fair all day, but supplies OF everything on the
list were ample and prices were merely steady
at best Peaches were about the most plentiful
of orchard fruits and prices for open boxes were
rather weak in the regular trade, though the
Gamers were buying small lots of cingstones

dull, with only small shipping packages receiving
much attention. Pears held up we'll, though

CHICAGO, Aug 17.-with suitable weather
for harvesting, the belief that the northwestern
movement will be early and heavy took a
stronger hold on many wheat traders on the
local exchange and they eagerly took profits or
sold for short account The offerings were TOO
much for market without any great amount of
outside speculative support, and consequently
decidedly heavier feeling prevailed from start to
finish. At the low point prices were from

Duluth markets, which apparently confirmed the
good crop reports. gave additional impetus to

Oats opened easy. in sympathy with wheat

New YORK Cotton NIarket

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Hutton's wire says:
On firm cables the local market opened firm, 6 to
25 points higher, with trading active throughout
the day. August active and excited, with
the trade all at sea. The bear crowd made hard
drives at the new crop and forced prices down
early, but the bulls were on hand and bought
with freedom, and the market closed firm at the
highest point of the day. Crop news was not so
favorable due TO very hot weather over the belt.
Spot closed quiet. Middling uplands, 10.50c;
middling gulf, 10.75c. Sales, 500 bales.
