MARKETS OPEN At
A BRISK TRADE

A brisk trade marked the opening of
the week on Morris avenue yesterday.
Some advances in prices were noted and
the stock in all commodities was ample
for the demand.
The dry salt meat market after a few
days at firm prices again started its up
ward trend According to the managers
of the local beef houses this is Just the
beginning of the campaign to boost meat
prices. Meat quotations may be ex-
pected to advance steadily for the next
month or two
The grain merchants reported a slight
falling off in the brisk business of the
past two weeks owing to the advances
OF wheat and oat prices. This unlocked
for Strengthening of prices is caused by
excessive rains in the middle west wheat
belt and in the Kansas oat country. All
grain dealers state, however, that this
advance is only temporary as the United
States this year will reap the largest oat
crop In 10 years and the wheat crop will
also be extraordinary large These re-
ported heavy rains, however have the
effect of strengthening the weakening
Wneal ana oat quotations and therefore
depresses the trade which will await the
Inevitable break In prices. which will UNI
doubtedly come as soon as the farmers
begin to sell the grain.
Eggs are now selling at pc per dozen.
Extra canded eggs bring CSC per dozen.
The prediction of a prominent egg dealer
Is to the effect that plain case candled
eggs will sell at 25c per dozen before the
end of the week and the extra graded
eggs at Csc per dozen. The scarcity of
eggs at any. price is troubling the deal
ers.
The produce dealers are handling Cali
fornia fruits which are of extra fine
grade and at slightly lower prices than
usual Vegetables are plentiful and the
trade was brisk for a Monday. Fish
dealers reported steady trade at firm
prices but the supply of fresh fish is very
light. Creamery products held steady.
no changes being anticipated from the
Elgin butter board. Poultry went web at
firm prices and there is a good supply on
hand.

USUAL DULLNESS
FEATURES MARKET
Tone Varies From Irregu-
larity to Heaviness-Ad-
vance in Steel Stocks

New York, August 19.-Midsummer
dullness was tho feature of the mar
row and undressing operations in
the stock market today. The tone
varied from irregularity to heaviness
the latter resulting mainly from early
selling of the anthracite shares which
caused sympathetic declines in other
active lists. Liquidation of the coal
ers was accompanied by rumors that
the interstate commerce commission
would soon again direct its energies
against the coal carrying railroads,
but nothing in corroboration of this
materialized in the course of the day.
Canadian railway shares were once
to the fore, Canadian Pacific making
very substantial recovery. American
Can, few of the minor stocks in the
industrial and railway departments,
also recorded better prices while Amer
lean Tobacco repeated it's erratic course
of recent days. B1t quotations were
made in the last hour when extensive
dealings in steel caused an advance
in that stock, with general stiffen-
ing of prices elsewhere. The demand
for steel shares which seemed to be

Washington was met by offerings nf
other stocks and soon resulted In a
general selling advance.
London followed its local support of
our market with some further pur-
chases here. these being followed by
sales which practically left an even
balance on the day. Unofficial cables
from abroad indicate an increase of the
American bull account in London and
Paris, based on easier monetary con-
ditions across the wafer.

decline in Wabash as. Total sales, par

New York August 19-An early break

support. and while there was little
change in the general character of the
news, prices rallied about 20 points from
the lowest during the early afternoon.
Reports that the splnners were buying
