Sales are chiefly of small lots for Immediate con- Btunpflon or to complete broken assortments. There Is no change in futures. "While rumors ere plentiful enough regarding sales. it 18 im possible to find that any of the reported trans actions have been closed. Buyers and sellers alike are firm in their views, and until one or the other makes concessions trade will be light. "Prunes remain practically unchanged. There are unconfirmed rumors of large sales, but co far as known none has been consummated. Quotations ranee from sic for 40-60*8 down to Ec for small sizes. Outside goods have been bought lees than Be, but the quantity has prob ably been insufficient to really make a mar ket". The crop promises well, and It is said that young trees Doming into bearing this year will yield enough to make good the shortage in "Washington and Oregon; No important export business has been done yet, and inquiry from the other sine is reported light. "There are report? that prunes have been or fered below quotations, but confirmation is im possible There is a suspicion that some parties are trying to force the price down by persist ently circulating these reports. Conditions are unchanged, and if any quantity of new goods has been offered under the opening quotations the particulars art- beins kept very secret. 'Teaches appear to be stagnant. The asking nrlce is Cv64c for Immediate shipment, but it Is said that a few sales have been made below that figure. Holders are reluctant to • force business by reducing quotations, and buyers do not care to invest much money at present prices, with the possibility of a drop staring them in the face. "Apricots are nearly all gone from first hands, and holders are stiff in their views on prices The shortage in cans hurt apricots less than peaches, because canning was about done before the shortage developed. "Opening prices on raisins are expected dally and until they come little or no business will be done. Some sales are being made subject to association figures, but In the main trade in all positions 16 very quiet." Weather Report. One Hundred and Twentieth Meridian— Pacific Time.)

Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. Nnv York Stock Market. NEW YORK. Sept. s.— The buoyancy of a handful of individual stocks gave an appear ance of considerable strength and activity to the stock market, but outside of these few Stocks the market was narrow and apathetlo to the last degree. Shortly after the opening Northwestern was marked up sharply and the usual response was made in other numbers of the Vanderbilt group. Union Pacific also fol lowing the lead. As was the case last week the heavy offerings of Union Pacific brough out on the advance checked the enthusiasm of the buying, and operations in that particular group were for the most part discontinued. Northwestern' extreme rise was 4%, the pre preferred 8 points above the previous sale; Omaha 8: Xew York Central and Union Pa cific over a point. New York, Chicago and St. Louis stocks advanced from I*4 to 4 points on a rumor that Judicial aid was to be sought to enforce asserted rights to dividends. The coal ers were In good demand, Lackawanna leading with a rUe of 3%. Gains in this group were not maintained entirely. Other railroad stocks which roue a point or over were St. Paul pre ferred, Colorado Midland preferred. Wheeling and Lake Rrie second preferred. Hocking Val ley and Chicago Great Western preferred A and B. Transactions elsewhere in the railroad list ■were quite Insignificant. There was a Blight response In the early dealings to the depres sion In tho London market. The bulk of the trading was in the more volatile specialties. Tennessee Coal was the most cons;jiauous fig ure In to-day"B markets. After dropping a fraction, it was aggressively Ufti-d by suoces slvb stages 9 full points, and closed at 108. the ton price.. Colorado Fuel apparently sympa thized with It* movement and ros<; an extreme EH There was good demand for Republic Steel at "an advance of 2*4, and Federal Steel rose a ■point Otherwise the Iron and steel stoclt3 showed but a slight response. The New York municipal stocks, Including both gas and trac- j tion stocks, were quite buoyant and show gains \ of from 2 to 6 points, the latter Metropolitan Street Railway. American Tobacco rose an j extreme 3 points and Sugar 1%. Chicaro Ter- | minal Transfer preferred grained 2.

The decline in I the Item of "due to other banks" In the state- I meat of New York National banks li cited to explain the recent drain on the deposits of New York banks.

I CHICAGO, Sept. 6.— The first Impulse of ' traders in wheat was to buy slightly higher, i quotations from Liverpool overshadowing for ■ the time the heavy receipts elsewhere. The i result was an opening: advance of about %<§) 1 140 In December and *ie In September, De i cember starting at 71%<&71% and September at ! 69 T 4c. A short period of realizing followed, during which December declined to 71*60, but ' the steadiness displayed by corn and some i rather bullish reports on the condition of the ' spring wheat crop sent the price back to the opening figures, where they held for a short time. Everything else In the way of news fa vored the selling side, and before 11 o'clock the market began to weaken, and from that ! time to the close deferred futures exhibited more or leas weakness. September, however, ; was quite steady. The elevator people were i buyers of September on account of the small carrying charge, and the premium between i September and December was reduced to l*4o. Marked weakness developed in the northwest, and a good many selling orders cams from ' that section, which influenced the real trad ! ing. Both Duluth and Minneapolis declined fart ' er and further than Chicago, and predicted '■■ a continuance of heavy receipts. This, with I the poor cash demand, had a marked influence 1 on trading in December and May, and made : those options th« object of considerable : liquidation and short selling. Speculation at : times was nearly at a standstill, which made ; the cash weakness more apparent. Toward the 1 close there was a tendency to cover by shorts i who bad sold earlier In the day, and this : caused slight rallies. December declined to 70% c and advanced -to 71 ©71 Vie, where it closed. September closed at «9Slo. Corn showed considerable firmness In view 1 of the enormous crop estimates, and after a i period of weakness, early, ruled higher to the 1 close. The weather in the corn belt was dry j and hot. and there was apparently some ap ; prehension of damage, complaints of which were numerous. - September was especially strong. December closed at Vl<ff%c higher. Oats were steady, but very dull, prices keep ing within a narrow range. The market in general followed corn, and closed at a slight 1 advance. There was some buying by Septem ber shorts. Thf> shipping demand was fair. December closed a shade higher. September closed He higher. Provisions were steady, notwithstanding lower cables and reports of yellow fever at Key West. Belling was l*«ht and scattered, and the demand fair. The utrength of corn helped the market, everything closing firm at an advance. At the etose October pork was 7*4 c higher, lard 7*4 c higher. t> ribs TVi^lOc higher. j The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles— Open. High. Low. Close.

There are at present only twenty-four vessels under engagement to carry coals here from Australia, with a carrying capacity of less than CO, OOO tons, fully 30,000 less than the same period in 1898. But lew names are being added to our loading list in the colonies, as the num ber is diminishing monthly, i. c., vessels that are arriving here are not being replaced with others at the Newcastle side. Every cargo that arrives has passed out of first hands long since, and in some cases has changed hands several times, each time at a profit Evidently coal tonnage must be scarce in the colonial ports, as Importers here are willing to pay full rates without effecting charters. Honolulu is a formidable competitor for coal carriers, as 20e per ton is offered for early loading at New castle. "There will assuredly be a shortage of coal fuel locally this winter; there Is no question as to the ability of our northern collieries to produce any required amount, but we are In urgent need of carriers, both steam and eail, to bring same to market.
