THE CROP MARKETS
Grains Unsettled and Weaker
Cotton Drops on Report
Coffee Lower.

With only four days Of trading in the
week Just closed. the grain markets were
unsettled and nervous, with comparative
strength in corn and oats and weakness
in wheat The slump Of Monday in wheat
was partly recovered before the close on
Thursday. but price changes at no time
we're abrupt the market apparently be-
ing burdened by the movement, which for
June had aggregated l5.s42,OOO bushels.
o.. about 1000, 900 more than in June last
year.
The new wheat which has come TO
market shows excellent quality, and as
harvesting has made good progress and
the yield so far is somewhat larger than
had been expected il is believed that
there will very soon be heavy deliveries
AT country stations and largely increased
receipts At primary points.
Changes in foreign markets have been
OF no consequence here, and as home
grown wheat will soon be available on
tho Continent there is naturally falling
off in the call for wheat from America
and the Argentine The resumption or
hostilities in the Balkans may have an
effect on the export trade, and rumors
have been circulated on 100000 bushels
Of freight rooom being taken in the last
week But that seems hardly sufficient
to warrant belief in any permanent bull
movement. even with No. . red, now crop,
quoted at 9Si2c, C. f. Z. New York, against
81 81. year ago.
Conflicting crop reports caused nervous
moss among corn traders, and an early
weakness was recovered later in the week.
The general tendency. however has been
toward hrmnoss based more on fears OF
damage to the crop than any other rea-
SON 40. mixed closed at Io'ac on
Thursday. against sc year ago.
oats also suffered from pessimistic crop
reports and nervous shorts kept prices
from going down approciaby. Estimates
~ the probable crop have been reduced to
about 900 100000 bushels. or close 10
500 OOo. 600 bushels less than last year.

Coffee Still Declining.

The coffee market had only one session,
with an upward tendency during the
week. tho general trend being toward
lover prices. with dealers apathetic and
the consuming demand and country trade
extremely disappointing. There were
some sales Of Santos % at a little pre-
MUM. but on the whole the opening OF
the new coffee season failed 10 stimulate
activity or have any beneficial effect on
the market
The crop news from Brazil does not
give comfort TO the bulls. but The prln-
cipal cause Of the present practically
stagnant condition of the market is tho
utter indifference with which the CON
sumIng trade regards the changes In the
speculative end. II seems as II there
were a determination 10 get coffee cheap
er than the present range OF prices, find
substitute or go without, any one OF
the three being sufficient TO account FOR
the fact that recent history has shown

cents a pound. against ia. cents year

crop coming on, the outlook IL puzzle

Country Produce Plenty.

The markets OF New York are almost
glutted with the fruits OF the fields. and
prices have averaged lower for almost
everything. except when the stuff has
been OF fancy grade. Berries I'm album
dance. fruits Of all kinds and vegetables
in seemingly unlimited quantities are re-
ceived daily. and prices are. as usual at
this season, governed entirely by supply
and demand.
In butter, cheese and eggs, large quanti-
ties have gone into storage, and dealers
have reduced prices fractionally in many
staple lines 10 effect a clearance.
An advance in meat prices during the
week followed an increase in the selling
price OF livestock. but the gain in the
dressed meats end Of the trade was only
fractional.
The general trend Of prices for the week
In the wholesale spot markets has been
downward although tho figures would
seem to indicate otherwise, the discrepancy
being accounted for by the fact that eight
OF the eleven instances OF gain may he
credited 10 live cattle and dressed meats
The Tribune's tabulation OF twenty-four
articles shows gains in eleven, decreases
i'm seven and no change In six.
