Katdern Market In Strong: and Advance
Here Is Expected.
The expected advance in Coast sugar
prices did not materialize yesterday, but
Jobbers consider the market very firm, ns
markris in the Kast are higher. The
strength of the Kaatern position Is indicated
by the following trade advice from New
"ork:
"The advance In both the refined and raw
augar market has been entirely normal
without the slightest influence of specula
tion, as is evidenced by the fact that sugar
futures on the New York Cof feo and Sugar
Kxchange ruled lower than the cost and
freight market, not only on the spot but
succeeding months, a most unusual situation,
especially in view of the extremely limited
amount of sugars held in Importers hands,
jiow estimated at tiCOi tons, as against llo,
402 tons a year ago, while the total stock
In all hands 1s estimated at 241,32:1 tons, a
decrease of 4 7. Hi 4 tana from the stocks of
a year ago. while at the same period a
year ago refiners were willing sellers, w it Ii
fM-cumutatlons of the refined article on con
signment throughout the United States, as
w ell a a In refinery warehouses. Tills year,
howe-ver.ref liters without exception are over
fold to the domestic trad, and in many
Instances are heavily sold ahead lor export."

Trade rtas less active and fluctuations rather
Jiarntw, the principal influences being the
continued unfavorable European situa t ion
nini an Increasing movement of itw-crop

liberal offers from t hat country. Ocean

CHEESE MARKET ONE CEXT LOWER
Butter Is llrni at Former Prices Demand
for Egg's blow.
There was a drop of 1 cent a pound In
Tillamook cheese prices yesterday. The
decline was not unexpected as the markft
has been weak for some time- past owing to
liberal offerings of country cheese of various
quatltte.
Trading In the egg division was very small
and prices were unchanged from Tuesday.
Butter was also unchanged and the market
wa firm. ,
1'oultry receipts were liberal and prices
on the whole were steady. Dressed meats
were slow at former quotations.
June Shipments of Snrlap.
June burlap shipments have been re
ported by cable from Calcutta. The yard
age given Is larger than generally expected,
but it has had no effect upon the market.
Shipments to east const ports art ii.fioO.OttO
yards and to west coast 25,000,000. The un
usual proportion of goods shipped via the
west coast indicates the trend of transpor
tation from India' and the scarcity of ves
sels sailing acroFH the Atlantic,

for fruits and vegetables yesterday, but prac
tically no city business on account of the

NEW YORK, July 23. The stock mar
ket was left largely to Its own devices
today, except at rare lnterviUs, when
traders saw fit to Indulge .in further sell
ing or short covering, the latter movement
prevailing at the end. Dealings were the
lightest of any time since the period of
irregularity began, sates barely amounting
to oUO.OOU shares.
Forenoon reversals ran from 1 to 2 points
In important stocks and about as much in
some specialties. United Ktates Steel re
peated its familiar role of market leader,
moving between HtHfc and 1-1 U, closing
at 11, a net gain ol H point.
Distinct heaviness was shown by a wide
variety of bonds, rails and industrials as
well as the International issues, declines ex
tending from H to 1 point. Iibeny 38
sold from U!.45 to !.-. Total sales, par
value, aggregated $:i,2-o.OOO. United States

PRICE BREAKS AT CHICAGO

Lower at Close Venezuela
May Ship Corn to United
States This Year.
CHICAGO. July 25. Prospects of liberal
imports of corn to the United States from
Venezuela gave considerable impetus today
to the downward swing of the corn market.
Despite aomethlng' of a reaction, prices closed
4c to lie net lower, with September fl.&t
and December $l.UM to SI. 14.. Wheat
finished tic to l.'lc down and oats 1 !4 c off
to '4 c advance. Provisions closed 25c to S-c
higher.
Optimistic estimate! of the Spring crop
yield In the Daltotai and Minnesota tended
to send wheat prices downward. After open
ing Hie lower, at 2.'J34 for September,
the market underwent m material additional
sag. Welcome rains on both sidea of the
Canadian boundary, together with word that
cutting of Spring wheat In South Dakota
was already in progress, led to still greater
declines. The close waa unsettled, at $2.41
for July and $2.19 for September.
It waa the first time in history that tor
prices here had ever been affected by con
ditions in Venezuela.
Oata sympathized with the weakness of
corn.
. Provisions advanced sharply on account or
requests from the Belgian Kelief Committee
for offers of lard and meats. There was
active buying on the part of packers and
shorts covered freely.
