Potatoc.. onions and yeeetabl..

There was a good Saturday demand for mis-
cellaneous vegetables on regular local account,
and there also some inquiry for shipment
to the north, but with the river boats and some
of the trains late prices were unsettled Green
corn brought stif prices in the early trade but
weakened upon the arrival of the belated sup
plies Prices for tomatoes slumped early in the
day, while cucumbers and summer squash re-
mained weak on excessive supplies. Green pep
pers and eggplant were in heavy supply and
easy. with nearly all receivers selling by the box
instead of by the pound, heretofore Good
string beans were wanted and brought satisfae-
tory prices. while general offerings were poor
and had to be sold cheap. A small consignment
of Marrowfat squash came in from the river
and was. held at Sc pound, but Ii arrived too
late TO be sold. Prices for onions continued TO
strengthen good demand for shipment
while potatoes remained easy heavy arrivals.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs

The market for strictly fine eggs closed the
week very firm with extras closely cleaned up
and 12c higher at 301zc dozen. The proper
tion of stock grading as extras in the arrivals
is becoming smaller right along. and il is neces-
sary to inspect and candle almost every case re
owing TO the growing scarcity OF extras but
the under grades drag badly. The market is
overstocked with poor hot weather eggs. for
which there is very little sale and estab-
lished price.
The only change in butter was in packing
stock. which marked up 1c to a quotation
of 2315c pound. Creamery goods ruled steady,
with stocks Of extras pretty well cleaned up.
Cheese 1ae higher for California fancy
Young Americas and fat seconds.
Sales on the exchange follows:
Eggs-10 cases of extras at soc and 40 at
301ac a dozen.

Business Increaainx

Henry Clews of New York saws:
Progress is still the order of the day in in
dustrial circles. and many OF our manufacturing
plants running at or near their full
capacity The press of orders for railroad and
other constructive work has been so urgent that
the steel trade continues particularly active. the
output Of pig iron during the first half Of the
current year having been IL, ,000, 900 tons com
pared with $500. 900 tons during the same time
in 1905 This does not show full RESUMPTION
of old time activity, the record output for the
first half OF 1907 being Is, ,400. 900 tons but the
result for the last six months certainly indicates
most gratifying recuperation. The great textile
interests OF the country also In a very satis-
factory condition. Owing to the extensive cur
tailment Of production which prevailed last year
after the panic there few signs OF over
supply in any direction: IN fact scarcity is the
rule. Prices are high. too high in some particu-
lars. because consumption is being visiblv re-
strained thereby; yet there is a general absence
OF speculation in the textile trades. and large
distribution of fabrics is confidently Anticipated
during the balance Of the year. In other deparf-
ments Of trade and industry the outlook Is also
favorable Production Is rapidly regaining nor
mai proportions labor is generally weIl empioved
and complsints few The country continues
Of course. upon a high level basis and there are
no Indications OF any early change in this re-
spect. for the simple reason that. speaking in
general terms. supply has not yet exceeded de-
maud and the infafionary effect of cheap money
is becoming R"~ and more evident

RAILWAY SHARES
BOOM MARKET

NEW YORK, July 17.-Union Pacific
usurped the place in the market today that
had bean held for several days by United
States steel. Union Pacific scared to now
record price levels on very animated busi-
ness, but without any authentic explana-
tion for the rise in new developments re-
garding this property. A movement in
this stock always serves 10 revive 4 series
Of rumors often heard Of a dividend in
crease.
The recent general rise in the market
has included stocks held in the Union Pa
cifc treasury, and several Of these are sub
jects, in their turn, Of rumors of coming
dividend increases, which will add to the
Unien Pacific income. That company, in
common with the Southern Pacific stock
holders, was q subscriber for its full quota
Of Southern Pacific convertible bonds,
which were allotted to stock holders at 90
and have since sold above 105.
Reports are circulated, but without Of
hctsl confirmation, that Union Pacific has
marketed its share Of these bonds, with
corresponding benefit to its treasury.
The sympathetic response to ths Union
Pacific movement was somewhat dssultory
and was most distinct in the Railroad list.
United States steel touched Ts, bettering
its reoord price by fraction. but profit
taking IN the stock was plainly manifest
under cover of the Union Pacific movement.

Dried Fruit. Rai.In.. Nuts and Honey

A New York house says OF prunes:
Present values new crop prunes may be
the lowest Of the season. From letters that we
have received today from number OF the repre-
lowing: Present estimate OF the 1903 crop for
the entire state 2, 500 carloads; present estl-
mated carryover, 200 carloads total amount FOR
consumption, 2. 700 carloads.
The carryover year ago was about l,2Ou
carloads. with the consuming markets fairly
well stocked. Today these same markets spot
stocks are practically reduced to nothing.
Reports from Europe indicate that the prune
crops OF Bosnia and Servia will be light, and
from France only fair crop. This would indi-
cate considerable export business the coming
season, whereas for the last two years the e1-
ports of prunes have not been comparatively
heavy Europe having had nearly full crops"
