ti.vcLisH Arri-E markets abe lower
l-rire Weakened by Heavy Mocks Ke-
. - eWved From America.
English apple market conditions are re
ported by W. Dennis As Sons, of London,
under date of February 8 as follows:
As we feared would be tho case, best
cold storage barrel stock has experienced
a drop In prices this week In both the
Uvorpool and London markets. Arrivals
3f this fruit hav been heavier. It is true,
but tbey are not altogether responsible for
the break In prices. There has been a
great quantity of rip common storsg
itock on th market, which necessitated a
quick clearsnce, and whilst there la no
comparison between this stock and the best
cold storage fruit, still the demand for the
latter has been considerably curtailed
through dealers and rc:allrs being load &
110 with th former. Arrivals of this com
mon storage fruit are again heavy next
we3k In Liverpool, so we do not expect prices
for the best stock to get back to last week's
level. We understand that common storage
fruit Is ripening up rapidly and shippers
are sending forward as much as they can
before the stuff Is too rip to ship. We
may confidently expect, therefore, to see
the congestion relieved shortly, leaving the
ntsrket cleas- for best cold storsgo fruit.
Oregon Newtowns are lower In both mar-
krii Liverpool is reaitxing from s d to
s per box. whilst I.ondon quotes from 8s
to 10s. anything extra fancy being worth the
latter price. Sum Oregon thi. week ar

been sold from 0s to 7s.
California Newtowns are weaker. Liver

FA-i SALES ARE ON LAJttiE KCA1JB.
Low rrlre Are Moving Stock, but Market
Continues Weak.
Kg - sales are on a very large scale, but
consumption does not keep pace with re
ceipts, and the market Is not yet able to re
cover from Its weakness. Buyers are Indus
triously trying to bear pries and some of
the dealers with large stocks sra ready to
shade the market to move the eggs, but It
other quarters th disposition is to hold
alues steady, on the assumption that the
market Is low enough now for this time or
year. Sales were made ss low as 17
cents, cam count, and it was rumored that
a half cent less was accepted in on In
stance. The general range of prices was
from 17H to 18 cents, with a cent j.retnluxa
on candled stock.
The poultry supply was small and the
market r,as arm. Dressed meat wera also
firm.
The butter market Is steady, with no im
mediate change In sight. Cheese was quoted
half a cent lower in .some quarters.
EARLY RIU'BARB MAKES APPEARANCE.
Shipment From Lna Angeles Pells Well at
fSJO a Box.
A car of mixed vegetables arrived yester
day from Los Angeles, containing th first
large shipment of rhubaro of tha season. It
sold well at ti-i0 a box. The car also con
tained lettuce, which was quoted at C2.50,
and spinach at Si cents a dozen.
caulifower prices were advanced to t-9
2.25. in accordance with last week's rls In
California.
Five cars of green tomatoes wer unload
ed. There ta a temporary scarcity of rip
bananas on th street. Oranges sold fairly
well. There was not much movement In
apples.
California Hay Crop May Fall.
California is facing prospects for a very
small hay crop this year, according to the
following report from a San Francisco hay
dealer:
"N-w crop conditions for hay are most
discouraging up to date. In no section of
this state can the present conditions b
called flrly good. to say nothing of bet
fcr than that. The heavy north winds of

VISIBLE GUT DOWN
Large Decrease Sends Wheat

TONE FIRM AT CLOSING
Improved Demand From Exporters
Adds to Strength or Market Es
timates ot Canadian Yield Are
Kednced Coarse Adtancc.
CHICAGO, Feb. 24. Surprise at a big de
crease in th visible supply gave the wheat
market today a lift. The outcome was firm
at the fe to He net- advance. The close
for corn was unchanged to fe S li o up and
for oat. a rain of a shade. Provisions
finished dearer by 2feo to 12fe15c
Instead of a falling off In tho visible
supply that wheat traders wer looking
tor there was a decided enlargement
total.. Strength also developed as a result
of Improved demand from exporters. Re
duced estimates of th Canadian yield tended
to aid tlie bulls
Primary receipts of -wheat wera 1.805,000
bushels, asalnst 722.000 bushels a year ago;
clearances of wheat and flour epualled 491,-
000. t
Mure receipts held corn prices In check
despite cold weather that promised a reduc
tion of stocks later on. Elevator and ship
pers did the chief buying.
Oats wer practically at a standstill, th
trade awaiting news of farm reserves.
Provisions turned sharply higher, owing
to continued scarcity of hogs at Western
cities. On the bulge, however, on of tha
leading longs unloaded and brought about
some setback.
Tho leading futures ranged as follows:
