The Poultry market continued very weak for
nearly all descriptions, as retailers were com
plaining of the light consumptive demand,
caused by the absence of so many people from
?he city, and were purchasing no more than
absolutely necessary for Immediate require
ments. Fryers and young Roosters, which,
were In very light supply, were firm at pre
vious prices, but all other descriptions, par
ticularly Hens, were dull. The weakness In
Hens Is shown by the fact that two carloads
of Western have been standing on tha track
across the bay since Tuesday awaiting: more
favorable market conditions.

Nezv York Stock Market.
NEW YORK. June 22.— The most noteworthy
fact about to-day's stock market was Its firm
ness in the face of excessive dullness. The
dullness approached stagnation at frequent
period*. But prices w»re tenaciously held all
through the day. even with a demand so scanty
as 1.1 be Imperceptible for most of the time.
A number of minor stocks and specialties gave
nme sympathetic t-upport '_to the market by
their strength, which was unexplained In the
news events. Tlic Canadian Pacific group was
a prominent example, and was in demand
both here and In London. The common surmise
was that this movement was based on the
crop prospects in the Canadian Pacific's west
ern territory. Our own granger atock*. how
ever, did not extend the upper movement of
yesterday to any important degree. The con
tinued quietude of Southern Pacific was In
favor of the market. The quick subscription
lor the Burlington bond isisue and the sales of
the Rock Island notes made a good impression.
although the Rock Island Issue 'is recognized
as an expedient against the present poor mar
ket for bond*. ¦
The tone of the bond market continued firm.
Total sales. p«r value, $2,485,000.
United States bond* were unchanged on call.
The governing committee of the Stock Ex
change to-day readmitted to its listing depart
ment the preferred and common shares of the
American Steel Foundries Company to the
amount of $15,000,000 each.
The governors of the New York Stock Ex
change have decided to 'clone the exchange on
July 2 the Saturday before the Fourth of July.

Prices of new white Potatoes had a sharp
advance under decreased supplies and a steady
demand, both for local consumption and ex
port. Rival Jobbers were still competing for
extra fancy stock and one small lot was sold
at $2 10 per cental. There was a fair inquiry
for Early Rose and Garnet Chiles and the
light receipts were well cared for at previous
prices. Red Onions were a little firmer, but
yellow were unchanged.
Green Corn and Cucumbers were in Increased
supply and both declined sharply. Los An
geles Tomatoes were firmer -under light re
ceipts and the market was well cleaned up
at the clore. Advices from the southern part
of the State say that almost the entire crop
of Tomatoes has been dried up by the hot
Bun and receipts are expected to be light for
some little while. New crop Green Peppers
are coming In freely and are bringing good
prices. Los Angeles Peppers have about had
their run and the quotations are withdrawn.

A local house says of Wool: "As has fre
quently 'been tht case in previous years, the
Boston Wool market Is reported exceptionally
weak, while at all of the producing points In
the United States and, in fact, throughout the
world, the undertone is strong, with every
reason to believe that prices will go still
higher. Boston operators are doubtless aware
of the latter condition, and, notwithstanding
their dull market and the quiet trade in
progress in other Eastern centers, they have
agents out in all directions competing keenly
for available offerings^of Wool and paying
fancy prices. The local market Is In good
condition, with trading lively at the improved
prices, choice Wools readily bringing full
quotations." ';

CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
How a -Vrtc York Financier
Views the Situation.
Th« New York circular of Henry Clews sars:
"Though dealing* on the Stock Exchange
sire limited, the market displays a strength
or undertone that promises well for the future,
lirovided no untoward events Intervene during
the next tw o months. The chief source of
«;re.rjr.h at present la a satisfactory monetary
situation, funds being plentiful enough to
avoid any anxiety concerning crop demands
• hen they begin- The next reason for hope
fulness ic the crop outlook, which Is satisfac
tory as a whols in spite of backwardness. Re
ports of biusineM reaction are frequent and
are unfortunately confirmed by current reports
of railroad earning* and other evidences of
contraction; but Wall street turns a com
j>a.rativr!y dtaf ear to such arguments, and
replies that all »uch conditions were discount
ed long ago by the shrinkage in security values
fcnd that the time is now ripe for anticipating
better thing*.
"One eigniflcant demonstration of confidence
is the quick absorption of recent bond issues.
These have bern numerous and large, but the
promptr.ee* with which they have been taken
end their absolute failure to depress the stock
market reveal aii underlying strength that is
loth surprising and gratifying. Thi* week has
witnessed two new big issues— $10,000,000 New
York Central bonds and $40,000,000 Southern
Paciflc preferr«d 7 per cent stock. The former
was expected but the latter was a surprise,
but neither exerted any appreciative pressure
on the market, excepting in the Southern Pa
cific common ehares. This shows a buying
power In reserve that was quite unexpected.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS.
"Though financial conditions have much Im
proved, the same can hardly be said of gen
eral business and industry, both of which are
handicapped by high prices and high costs of
production. The process of readjustment, how
ever, la already under way. Pigtron has had
a heavy fall, and finished iron products must
toon, accept the inevitable, although price*
are still held up by trust influences and con
tracts delayed in consequence. A great deal
of work is al*o postponed by the excessive
demands of labor; but these, too, must be
modified by the Inevitable levellng-down pro
cest, which has already set in. Cotton and
cotton goods are also declining, and thus
facilitating re-establishment of the industry
upon a sounder basif than heretofore. Thi*
process of readjustment, painful a? It is, must
te faced, and the H-ss it is resisted the better
for all. Costs of production are altogether too
high and the cost of living cannot be reduced
until these come down from the excessively
htgh level of the past few years. As soon as
those who take the initiative find values eet
tled upon a. more normal bafts business im
provement will succeed present depression.
Good crops this fail will be the most Important
factor in ary improvement. Crop failure*
would be national disasters, not only as affect
ing our Jorelgn trade and our agriculture as
the chief basis of our prosperity, but also be
cause of the effect upon prices of food prod
ucts, which are already very high for the rea
son that demand is overtaking supply. Hence,
our particular needs this year is good crop*.
OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
•A rather unsatisfactory feature of our for
eign trade movement was a decrease of $15.
ffjy/HX) in May exports, due to a shrinkage of
ffc.fXXi.OOO In wheat. $3,000,000 in cotton and
*2!s«io!c«JO in corn. ' Our exports of manufac
tures and minerals are, however, increasing,
and If the present downward tendency of com
rr.odity rrices continues the shrinkage in ex
ports will be only a temporary affair.
"Our credit abroad continues good, and gold
shipment* appear to have ceased for the pres
ent. Euroi* having satisfied Its Immediate
nants. What effect the war will have upon
the gold movement remains to be seen, this
and the increasing eupply of loanable funds
being the chief Inducements to gold ehiptnentE.
Very soon future cotton and grain bills will
b* in better supply, sufficient, possibly, to off
set these influences. Little attention is paid
to the Presidential campaign, which contains
no ¦>•_.;.:.*-¦ or alarming issues and no queetlon
com-ernms; the soundness of our currency.
"The outlook for the market may be con
fc.dered more favorable. Bad features have
been amply discounted, stockg are concentrated
In strong hand* and money 1* plentiful. These
a<-e conditions favorable to manipulation should
the big leaders to agree, and in the absence
»rf *ufh plans we may look for a fair trading
imtrket. subject to the influence at all times
of '-rop reports."

STOCK MARKET.
CHICAGO, June 22. — Initial quotations on
July wheat were unchanged to %c lower at
84%c to S4?ic. September was unchanged to
a shade higher at 7!>!*@8Cc. Early In the day
there were conflicting elements — small re
ceipts, a strength of foreign grain markets
and a bearish Prussian crop report, as op
posed to excellent weather in the Southwest
and a bearish crop report from Iowa. For a
time "a quite general disposition to sell was
manifested, resulting In a slight • de-~
dine. t Then the sentiment In the pit
suddenly changed. July advanced to 85%c and
September to 80%@80i4e. The market again
weakened on selling of September by North
western houses, the distant delivery declining
to 79%(g'79%c. July showed more firmness,
selllni? off a trlflo and Just before the close all
the loss was regained on covering by shorts,
rir.nl figures showing almost no change from
yesterday's closing prices. July closed at a
gain of %c, 84?ic; September was unchanged
at 79 %c.'
At. the start the corn market showed a little
downward tendency, but the close was steady,
with July a shade higher at 48%c. September
closed at 48%<SH8%c.
Small receipts and a bullish Prussian crop
report had a steadying effect on oats. July
closed unchanged at 39%c.

Exchange and Bullion.
Supplies of most descriptions of deciduous
fruits were too large for the regular local trade
to absorb, and as there was- very little call for
shipping the general market had an easy tone
and there was quite a surplus unsold* at the
close. Black Cherries were In limited supply
and firm nt higher rates,' but Royal Anne were
weaker, as country canners were unloading on
this market, expecting to benefit by the high
prices. Apricot* In bulk sold for canning ac
count at $.10@33 per ton, while the regular
trade paid 2®:tc per pound for bulk lots. Small
packages of all -kinds of tree fruits, except
Cherries, were weak and prices were generally
lower. Tragedy Prunes appeared from Court
land and sold at $1 per crate. Supplies of all
kinds of Berries were well up to requirements
and Long-worth Strawberries ..were dull and
lower. Cantaloupes were in fair request at
