A good, strong market, with lines equally balancing, receipts and talcs compensating, was the Front street sit uation today. "It is the best altuallnn for Home time," said a dealer. Following are a few of the salient Front street features: The expected grapes had arrived from California, and a car of Sacramento to matoes. Also, of the latter article, the first shipment of Yakimas was received, reported by Mark Levy & Co. Price lowered at little to 4OgC0c. The first shipment of Denver celery came In, a small lot., selling' at SI per dozen. The Yakima tomatoes were fancy and this ar rival Is a little later than last year. A car of Rogue River water melons was received, and the first shipment of melons from The Dalles Is due by tomor row. A car of new bananas was also In, The sweet potatoes expected, showed up, and are very fine, and selling. at $2.25. Chickens were settling down to better conditions, as Turner & Co. put It, "We are cleaning up better than for a long time." And they also said of eggn: "Re ceipts ami shipments are balancing up nicely, otherwise there would be a slump In prices. For receipts of fresh eggs are larger than I ever saw." The Incoming hop harvest was affecting prices a trifle. While It Is difficult to get exact quotations, in the 'complications regarding contracts, the tendency was to fix the price considerably under what it has ben supposed to be, probably clous to 22 cents. Dealers on the street said that reports come from all their correspondents re garding the tires, but It was not affecting business. The day's quotations Btand: GRAIN. FLOUR AND FEED.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC Harriman's Plans Will Necessitate an Expense of $40,000,000. Messrs. Taylor, In their review of the financial condition of the Southern Pa cific Railroad, In the Railroad & JBanklng Review, make an elaborate statement In regard to the Improvements made anJ the methods used by th.- road. The property Is unique in that It Is be ing modernised by the use of net earn ings, and that there should be some help from capital outlet Is probably to be sup ported by the directors of the company, who It Is understood, are to Issue bond3 of a convertible type fur the large out lays which Mr. Marriinan has found to be necessary. The report sayst "By an examination of the property recently made. It Is es timated that it. will require an expendi ture of $40,000,000 to contpletely modern ize its that is, to make It one of the best equipped and constructed railroad prop erties in the country." Some of these improvements will make a saving in the operating expenses of the road. It is pointed out that with the use of oil as fuel the company will be able to save $4,000,000 a year, or equal to 2 per cent on the capital stack. The following table will show the ex pansion In the earnings of the road In five years, covered by the report: Total Receipts Surplus. 1902 $(I8.04.778 $18,362,498 1901 0.Ui8.60O 14.280,878 1900 90.

(Journal Special Service.) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., 8ept. 12. The cotton picking season is at its height in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee, the season having begun fully two weeks earlier than usual. In view of the rapid opening of the crop there Is a general shortage of labor and the problem prom ises to be a serious one for the planters. Some of the largest growers of cotton de clare that they have never seen a time when there was such a scarcity as there Is at present. The indications are that the picking Reason will be short this year. The fact that the crop Is so much earlier than usual and that the weather has been o hot Is accepted as a sure sign of this. Some of tha crop authorities are predict ing that tha entire crop will be gathered before the Christmas holidays and that the bulk of it will have been harvested by the end of November, If not consider ably earlier. This fact of Itself tends to complicate the labor question still more, anfl should there come bad weather, the result would be very damaging because of the large amounts of cotton that would be caught In the field.
