The pearh market i utterle demoralised
here ldav. The supply was ao heavy that
the irice" in most quarters dropped to
crnts or lower. Htx strnttiht carloads Of
prarhea arrlred and as manr more came In
mall lota. The heavy recvipte this week are
attr.bui4 to tbe forwat fires, which have
hampered the operation of the railroads and
prevented fruit shippers fninm taking chances
In shipping their fruit Eest. As a result,
an uruwuaily large quantity of fruit has been
forwarded to 1'uget Sound and Oregon mar
kets. "uncord grapes were lower at 3M to 3.c
rents. Grapes were In heavy supply and
easy.
Trade dragged in tbe dairy produce mar

larger, but stocks did not accumulate.
Fresh eggs sold at 40 cents and there were
unconfirmed rumors of sales at 41 cents.

Buyers Have Been Loaded With Cat
tle for Two Weeks and Are Now
Taking a Breathing Spell.
1 Hog Hold Firm.
The Uteatot-k market showed a iittle more
activity yesterday than on the first day
of the week, but the arrivals were email.
Most of the sales were la the mutton line.
Ewes brought 13.50; lamba $3 and $3 50,
and a lot of mixed sheep and lambs went
at .lt- There was also a aaie of calves
at Sti.
General conditions in tbe trade were
aammarlaed by the Uveatock Reporter aa
follows:
The deluge of range cattle waa tempor
arily checked the latter part ot tne weex,
and but few shloments arrived. The long,
severe drouth sot in Its disastrous work
all over the West and the quality of the
cattle for the early Kail run of rangera
was far below the average. Steera bare
lost a full dollar durlne tne slump, ana
rows almost the aame amount. Buyers have
been loaded with cattle for two weeka, and
the let-un will sire them a breathing spell.
Cows were not In the usual good demand
last week, but quality at band waa the
principal reason for the quarter drop In
the market. Bulls were also a ahade
weaker and $3.7& la considered the top of
the market. Little can be said about the
real market eaoept that It was steady to
firm at formr prices, with tne exception
of a amsll lot of hogs which came In by
boat late Saturday there were no receipts
In this line for the last naif ot tne we k.
The msrket la considered steady at the ax
Istlng range of prices. The sheep market
wa a trifle better from the number of
muttona sold, but nrlcea ware easier, year
ling wethers lost a dime and Valley lain be
were from 1! to S3 cents lower.
Keceipts yesterday wen 4 cattle. 113
sheep. S4& hogs and 3 horses.
Shippers of the stock were R. A. Camp
bell, of Sheridan, one car of sheep; Arm
strong Bona, of Netraaka, four can of
hogs, and C. McAllister, of Tacoma. one car

XKW YORK. Am. J. The demand for
storks fell off today and prk-e were al
lowed to drift aimlessly. Some apprehen
sion of comma- events enters Into th. re
actionary, tone which developed.
The period of cash withdrawal from New
York bank reserves Is not propitious to
operutlur.s on tb. lonit side In storks. The
current of the movement out of New York
Is aalnlnir strenath. ShtDmenu to c.n..i.

plice for moving of the crop The rat.
of depletion of bank reserves .promises to
be rapid for a time, the decrease this week
having run already apparently to over 4.
aoo.oe. Including- th result of ubtreaeury
operation
The foreign demand for securities baa
disappeared and the movement of foreign
trade has not been adjudgad sufaclentljr to
provide trie usual supply of exchanc. at
this time of the year. Today there was an
easier ton. In the London discount market
and a rlsa this week In the Bank of Eng.
Iaiic discount rat. waa considered less
likely.
A firmer tone In the corn market and
weather forecast oC llht frosts had some
influence on stocks. The approach of the
ilste for offV-lal monthly reports of various
ktnda bearing on crop and Industrial con
ditions give rise to conjectural siuntiel
on the tSovemnient crop report, on th
monthly sratjment of unnlled tonnage Sep
