Decline I Checked tijr a Ciood Bay Ing Movement and.Irrsse Are IJc gained. XEW YORK. Aug. 30. A aharp drive at atoak at the opening of today's trading carried aeveral Usuea 10 tha low prlcea of the year. Tha movement, w-men waa re garded a a bear raid rather than a renewal of liquidation. aa checked by buying which forced back prlcea to yeaterday' closing levels and during tha rest of the day fluc tuations ware of amall consequence. A further attempt to weaken tha market by means of an attack on Lehigh Valley caused that atock to decline nearly three polnta late In tha day. but had only alight effect elsewhere and tha aeaalon ended with only small net change among tha active Issue. Among the railroad atock. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific. Lehigh Valley. Missouri Pacific and Chesapeake Ohio fell telow the prevloua bottom figures of the present degression, aa did International Harvester and eeveral other leaa prominent Induatrlats. Soma Influence was exerted on sentiment hy better crop new and by tha July railroad return, which, a a whole, have been un expectedly favorable. The report of th Harrlman line, how ever, revealed decline In net earnlnge of .1ti2.0rtO for 1'nlon Pacific and 114.1. 000 for Southern Paeiflc. The effect of theae re turn and of further uncertainty aa 10 tha eHitcome of labor dlfflcultlea was seen In the continued weakness of tha Harrlman stocks. Reports of a threatened strike on a large Eastern road Increaaad uneaalneaa over the general labor situation. Optimistic statements In regard to tha copper trade were made by several large producers, who said August shottld b ona of th bt month that trad ha experienced tola year. European consumer have bought moderately and the domestic demand haa been on a aatlsfactory scale. On the curb Standard Oil lost two thirds of yesterday'a lump of nearly five points.

"W nava both of your wlrea quoting Bartletts: you could not make a price on either of theae offerings that would appeal to our customers for tno reason lhal the Independent growers efrom your seotion of tha country are consigning car after car of peache and peara. regard lea of what reputation the house may have, and of course, with these conditions pre vailing, you can realise about what con dition our market 1 on peache and pears. As long a shippers continue to consign cars Indiscriminately. It means that the market receiving thla atock te absolutely ruined for straight sales." . i. .-ri,. Philadelphia Branch, Auguat 23. "rne Bartlett pear market Is extremely low. abnut half tha offerlnga today sold generally from 11.00 to l.4il. mostly 31.15 lo el.-S. A w wrote you lha lrt of the week, w ro doing 11 wa can to bull the market for you. and ara talking higher price In tha near future, still, tho condition of our mar ket does not agree with our advices to the buvers. There seems lo be an oversupply of most everything in tfie fruit line this year and especially th! month. We will continue lo work the trde every day and learn their want and aa won aa wa can gel any en couragement whatever, you will hear from us, uur prospective buyer on prunes ad vised up today he ha a lower offer from Gltison Fruit Co.. Chicago." " Chicago Branch. "Wa understand several local deaiera contracted early In the season for Washington Bartletts basis 31-10 f. o. b. ; thraa cara stock arrived Chicago thia morn ing, which were bought on thla basis. Of course, however you may feel about tha apple altuatlon. we have talked with Chl caco deaiera and It Is going to be a pretty stiff proposition. Needless 10 tell you of tha extensive home-grown crop and the extreme ly low prices that strictly fancy stock la selling at. Chicago dealers are buying fancy Jonathans (In barrels) for very little more than you are asking for boxed stock. There aeema to be a general feeling among the trade to keep aw-ay from Western appiea until a little later In the aeaann at least, Wa doubt very much If there will be any con tracting until they can determine where they stand on the home-grown etork." Houston (Texas) Branch "Pears moving awfully slow. Deeel-Boettcher Co. have about 400 boxea In their warehouse, moving very slow, and they advised that Colorado dealers are consigning pears to to them." Shreveport Branch. "Buyers getting very good early apples from St. Louis at 32.30 per barrel, delivered. While they are able to do thla. It will not be possible to sell any boxed appiea. Consumers Ire Co. had car Colorsdo boxed apples laat Friday. Wealthy and Strawberry varletlea, quoted at 31.73 fancy.- and 31.33 choice, delivered Shreve port. but they did not move well, consum era favoring tha barreled fruit at the lower prlcea." In spite of these conditions, the Exchange Is holding a stiff front to tbe buyers, and ha made aome very fine Bale for futur shipments, which It will announce shortly. It Is now booking orders and Is getting tha preference of tha fancy trade. Stocka at Boston. BOSTON. Aug. SO.
