SUGAR UPTEN CENTS
All Refined Grades on the
Coast Are Advanced.
SYMPATHY WITH THE EAST
Both the California Companies An
nounce a Rise In Prices Wheat

cents.
WHEAT Interior millers only buy

FRUIT Receipts heavy and de

BUTTER City price advances to
day. EGGS Demand better and market
steady.
POULTRY Outlook for week not
bright.
There was an all around advance of 10
cents a hundred In refined sugar yesterday.
Unlike some of the changes that have re
cently occurred, both the Western Sugar Re
finery Company and the California ft Ha
waiian Refinery Company were together on
this move. The retailer who was last week
advised by the Jobber that the quotations
then current were only temporary now sees
that the Jobber was right, and If he did not
lay In a supply of cheap sugar then. It was
his misfortune.
The basis of yesterday's advance was the
Eastern situation. Raw sugar "has been rul
ing very strong- and steadily climbing up
ward. Eastern refined sugar, owing to the
advances there and the frequent declines
that have taken place on this coast, was 45
cents above a parity with Pacific Coast
prices, something that has not been known
before for years. The drops that have oc
curred in Western quotations have made a
big' hole In the earnings of the two re
fineries and It may be that they have come
to an agreement to get back from the con
sumer some of the money they have lost In
the scrap. At any rate, the two companies
were together in announcing the advance
which affects the multitude of brands on
the market.

COUNTRY MILLERS BUY WHEAT.
Exporters at the Present Time Are prac
tically Out of It
Most of the buying of new wheat so far
nas been dpne by interior millers, who, in
order to secure their necessary supplies, are
bidding higher than the exporters and there
fore the latter are practically out of it for
the present. Based on cables received yes
terday, which, however, quoted the Liver
pool prices nominal with no buyers, club
wheat for export Is worth 67?68 cents on
track here and bluestem 69 iff 70 cents. Mil
lers in the country are offering from 1 to 2
cents above this basis and until they get
what they want will set the pace, so far as
the farmers' views are concerned. As the
milling demand Is limited and la satisfied
only with a certain quality, the shippers
hope to be able soon to do business with the
growers. At the present time there Is prac
tically no export demand.
CITY CREAMERY BUTTER ADVANCES.
Two-Cent Rise) In Price Will Take Effect
Today.
An advance n the price of city creamery
butter to 26 cents will take place this morn
ing. The reasons given for the advance are
the decrease In cream receipts and the bet
ter movement of butter. Higher prices at
other markets were also an Influence. The
local quotations yesterday was 22 to 24
cents for city brands. Outside brands were
quoted on Front street at 20 to 22 hi cent
and the feeling there was none too steady.
A good demand was reported for eggs and
the market was said to be In more satis
factory condition than for some time past.
Arrivals of poultry were light and there
was no inquiry to speak of. Commission
men do not hold out much encouragement
for this week.
Fruit In Good Supply.
A fairly large supply of fruit was un
loaded on the market yesterday, but the
trade was by no means swamped and prices
were well maintained, all through the list.
Sunday's arrivals, which were, put on sale
yesterday, consisted of one car of peaches
and pears, four cars of watermelons, one car
of oranges, one of lemons and one of onions.
Five cars of melons and one of green fruit
arrived on the delayed train in the afternoon.
Among the express receipts was a shipment
of Toppenlsh cantaloupes, which -were
quoted at 13.
New York Hop Crop Prospects.
The latest New York papers received say
the 'nop crop of that state will be of fine
quality, but not as large as expected a
short time ago. The Cooperstown Farmer
estimates that it will be 15 to 20 per cent
short. The Cobleskill Index predicts a yield
as large as last year. The Oneonta Herald
looks for a lighter growth than that of a
year ago. According to the Watervllle
Times, hops In that Immediate vicinity are
still untouched by harm of any sort

GOOD STOCK BUYIFiG
Absorption Goes On in New
York Market.
CONFINED TO FEW LINES
Accumulation by Insiders Evidently
' Well Informed as to Coming De
velopments Break in
Brooklyn Transit.
NEW YORK. Aug. 13. Thers was a moder
ate but persistent absorption of stocks In
today's market, with the ultimate effect of
lifting prices to a higher average level. The
movement was halting and Irregular iu the
early part of the day and had to contend with
some speculative considerations which were
given an unfavorable tenor In the current
opinion.
The bulk of the day's business was largely
congested in a few speculative favorites, but
those of this class which have been most
effective in their sympathetic influence on the
general market were again brought into play
with the result that the general price move
ment came Into accord with them. St. Paul,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific have demon
strated their capacity many times recently
to carry the list with them. The buying to
day, which proved Impressive, was calculated
to convey the Impression of accumulation by
well-informed Insiders as to coming develop
ments regarding these stocks. The rumors
current attempted to give shape to the ex
pected plan for financing the Pacific Coast ex
tension of the St. Paul, to the expected divi
dend increase in Union Pacific and to the In
augural dividend of Southern Pacific, which
rumor today fixed quite explicitly at the 4
per cent rate.
An unsettling Influence in the early deal
ings was the break In Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit, which was caused by the Judicial decision
against the company's right to collect the
double fare to Coney Island and to the dis
orders which resulted yesterday from the de
termination to collect the double fares. The
Interborough Metropolitan stocks moved strong
ly away from the Brooklyn stock. Influenced
by the statistics of traffic for the last quarter.
The stiffness of the call money rate proved
a restraint on the early speculation, and this
was not relieved at once by the. news that
the bulk of the $2,500,000 of gold arrivals in
London has been secured for New York. The
price of gold was bid up a penny an ounce
In London In order to secure the gold. There
was some easing in the call loan rate here
later in the day. Some relaxation for the time
of the interior demand made upon New York
was indicated. Subtreasury operations also
promised some contributions to New York
banking resources this week and a delayed
effect is looked for from the redeposits of
Government funds with Interior banks which
have been making sines the Panama Canal
bonds subscriptions. The decline of upwards
of $500,000,000 in the value of July agricultural
exports, caused by the heavu falling off in
the cotton outgo, was a factor lacking assur
ance for the international exchange situation.
The small effect on the provisions item of the
beef packing agitation was considered grati
fying from the standpoint of the financial
markets. The day's gains were not fully
maintained to the last and the closing was
rather heavy.
The bond markets were quiet. Total sales,
par value, $1,360,000. United States bonds
were ai! unchanged on call.

SINGED IN BALLOON FIRE
Two Aeronauts Fall 300 Feet With
the Blazing Wreckage.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. Willie Elllng
quist, 38 years of age, of Brooklyn, and
Joseph Moss, 24, of Williamsburg, pro
fessional aeronauts, were severely in
jured by burns and contusions from fall
ing: from a balloon at, Flatbush last night.
For several weeks they have been mak
ing ascensions and doing parachute sturtta
for an amusement concern at Bergen
Point. Seeking to vary the attraction, it
had been advertised that the men would
make an ascension last night from Flat
bush and try to land near the show
grounds at Bergen Point. They used a
large hot-air balloon, and a great crowd
assembled to witneeg the start into the
clouds.
The big bag shot into the air, with the
tv performers waving their hats from
the basket. When it reached an altitude
of about 200 feet there waa a muffled
report, a sudden lurching of the balloon
sideways and a shout of terror from the
aeronauts.
A small flame was seen to curl out on
one side of the balloon and puffs of smoke
began to envelope it, and then the bulky
thing commenced to settle rapidly. Three
thousand throats on the ground uttered
exclamations of horror as the balloon
gained momentum in its descent. The
flames grew brighter, the bag began to
waver and then it seemed to collapse
when about 60 feet from the ground and
settle down, a mass of smoke and fire.
Both, men clung to the burning basket
until they were near ths ground. Moss
had climbed on the outside and hung by
his hands, but Ellingqulst remained in
the basket with his head bent forward,
trying to escape the fiery draughts.
When the flaming mass of cotton and
ropes struck the ground 50 men sprang
forward and dragged the men from their
perilous position. Both were unconscious.
Moss had dropped about 20 feet, but the
other man held on and fell with the -basket.
An ambulance was summoned, but
It was found that Moss had suffered ee
vere injuries Internally and that both
we're critically burned.
LYNCHER'S TRIAL BEGINS
Deputy Sheriffs Keep Perfect Or
der In Missouri Courtroom.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Aug. 13. The se
lection of a jury was begun, today in the
trial of Doss Qalbraith, one of the alleged
leaders of the mob which hanged three
negroes here last April. The courtroom
was crowded, but order was strictly
maintained by numerous deputy sheriffs.
Since recent rumors of threats having
been made against Governor Folk and
officials of the trial were found to have
been groundless, excitement has quieted
down. Today witnesses and spectators
were separated by ropes stretched across
the courtroom, and the special panel of
talesmen was under guard in a roped-off
space.

Trading Is Dull in Chicago
Wheat Market.
BULLISH AT THE OPENING
Selling Brought On by Increase in
Visible Supply Liatcr Causes the
Prices to Kase Off a Trifle,
and Close Is Irregular..
CHICAGO, Aug. 13. Trading In the wheat
pit today wsa extremely quiet and prices
fluctuated within s narrow ranre. Durinc the
first part of the session, sentiment was In
clined to favor the bulls. Commission houses
were the principal bidders. Offerings, however,
were small. Later In the day the market eased
off a trifle because of selling broucht on by
an Increase of 2,139,000 bushels In the visible
supply. The close was irregular. September
opened unchanged to c lower at 72 V to
T2c, sold up to 72c ant closed at TlWii
72ic. '.
The same sort of speculative Indifference
that was manifested in the wheat market
prevailed In the corn pit. September closed
unchanged at 4i)c.
The oats market was held steady by a
moderate demand by cash Interests and com
mission houses. 'September opened hi to 4e
higher at 31 to 31c and closed at 31V4c.
Provisions were dull but firm. Owing to
decreased receipts of live hogs, shorts were
fair buyers and this caused a substantial ad
