Front street handlers of strawberries are up in arms over the false market reports given out by a morning paper regarding the strawberry market In par ticular. While for two days the local market has been very weak with prices -lower and depressed owing to the vast offerings from every ' section the re port has been given out that the fruit was selling as high M I! a crato when mrA I7.iif, do ! e-rnwn nnv. rtlace was obtainable every place flong- Front street; at oricea no higher than tl. 26. It was only for extra select shipping iock iruit jnat naa lo do oi cerium slse and of just such, ripeness that a slightly hlrher price. 1.35 - and 11.40. was obtainable but so few sales were- made beyond 11.25 yesterday that tney couia scarcely be ountea. Today's Market Xa Xowr. The avalanch of strawberries, con tinued today and sales of very good, fruit was made as low as 75c a crate for 24s although the too Br. fancy stock remained as yesterday at $1.25 a crate. The berries are ripening so rasi that growers are compelled to sacrifice them at whatever price they can sta ture and receivers are placed in a like position. X.gg-s Are Showing weakness. The temporary burst of strength in the egg market noted in this report yesterday was in fact of very short duration and most sales are again re ported at 24c a dosen. Only an oc casional lot Is quoted at a fractional advance over this figure and then only for winirle cases. The north was com piled to stop buying In this marKei eeause of the advancing tendency of local quotations and in practically every house along Front street accumulations sre shown. C, i Chicken Market ,Is Mot Active. Less actllHty is noted in the general chicken market along Front street to day. Most of the arrivals consist of old hens with only a sprinkling of xprlngs. The latter are in very good demand with supplies not equal to the Inquiry at prewent prices. However, the call is not sufficiently strong to enable the trade to quote a higher range of values. ' Half Holiday in Wholesale Trade. With most of the retail shops closed at the noon hour today the wholesale trade In general took a half holiday and practically all closed their places of business at 12 o'clock. Peach Market Sown a Notch. Supplies of peaches are more liberal td prices here are down about 15c n box for the day. Quality Is show ing considerable improvement. Apricots are lower with much more liberal offerings. Trade in' bananas la tinnsiially heavy.

Local : cattle market values are from 16 to 25c lower today, although it would be very hard to say . Just what the extent of the decline is. No top stuff Is . in evidence at. this time, 'and for that, reason it cannot, be definitely told Just what Huch quality would sell at. However, from the .appearabce of the demand and prices received for or dinary stuff, it can be . stated quite clearly that best grade of cattle could scarcely be sold for more than $4.60, if ror that figure. A sale was mane dur ing the past 24 hours tip to $4.45, but the best transaction this morning was $4.26. However, the latter was merely for ordinary stuff, -which generally soils about 25c under tha top. Ubersl Showing- of Cattle. There was again a very liberal show ing of cattle In the yards during the Fiast J24 hours, a total of 766 head be ng received. This compares with 447 yesterday. 163 Tuesday. 194 Monday, 667 Saturday, 888 Friday and 386 head a week ago today. The congestion of cattle in the yards continues and there will likely be fur ther cuts in values unless shippers keep the supplies down for a while. The yards are already so full of stock that they cannot be accommodated in the proper manner, and therefore are plRCed at a disadvantage in selling. Showing of hogs in the yards was nominal today and conditions continued as ouoted by The Journal yesterday. Run of sheep remains very liberal with suDDlies very hard to move be cause of the overful condition of pack ers' "pens." Prices are nominally quoted at yesterday's range. Among the Shippers. L. T. Berry of Lebanon came in with a bunch of sheep. Better price showing would have been made in all probabil ity had the supplies been kept off the market for a while.

At the opening the wheat market horison failed to show the lightest indication of th"' remarkable dumping of long; wheat which appeared later in the session, forcing sharply lower levels f or the July and moder ate declines in other deliveries. Closing was to 2o a bushel under yester day's finals. More long wheat came out for sale in the July opttan than at any time since the option started. A sale was made at the opening today at $1.19, the asked price for July at the closing yes terday, but the intlal showing was very deceptive for almost Instantly the pit became flooded with offers to sell that delivery. This showing would not have been at all remarkable had the selling been for short account, but it was the Immense offerings of actual wheat that broke the backbone of the early strength. Selling pressure In the wheat market today was confined almost entirely to the July, September, December and the May losing in price simply on account of the bearish influence of the former delivery. A report from Kansas City stating that damage by Hessian fly was real there, caused some stiffening of the late deliveries toward the closing. Foreign markets were mixed. Liver pool opened unchanged, but closed d to d above yesterday. At Berlin the wheat market was vfc mwe Budapest reported a holiday there. Minneapolis wheat stocks decreased 760,000 bushels in 3 days.

It Is appar-v ent that despite Special ' Prosecutor Heney's prediction the trial of Patrick Calhoun for alleged bribery will not b completed tomorrow. Heney evidently depends largely upon the vouchers of the Tnited Railroad company, signed by Th-ey L. Ford, tu clinch his case. Yesterday when thu F court ordered the vouchers produced oj storm of protest arose from the d-1 fense. Attorney Alexander King of the de- fense branded Heney's attempt to have T the papers produced as an effort to pry I Into the private affairs of the company. 1 The court suspended tne execution of' the order pending the settlement of technical legal point raised by King. Replying today to the argument ad- vanc.cd by the defense yesterday, Heney protested his legal right to demand the admission of the vouchers as evidence, denying what he claimed to be "the ef-' forts of a corporation to hide behind the sanctity of a citixen's rights." The objections of the defensu were re- ' newed by Stanley Moore with so murn vigor that It Is apparent the case can- t not be concluded within the limit set by the special prosecutor.
