Busi ness was reported fair. A normal supply of cabbage is being furnished some ox the com mission merchants and sold for $2.50 to $2.75. This is a little off what this product has been bringing. A car of fancy Klondike strawberries will arrive on this market tomorrow morning. The outlook for preserving berries is very slim on account of the dry weather and short crop in south Texas and the further fact that the demand for the east Texas out put is enormous. This will cause berries to bring a good price through the entire sea son. Apples are very scarce today and relief Is hardly expected before Saturday. A few cherries arrived this morning. Dewberries are being liberally supplied to this market and are weak, being quoted at from 82 to 82.50. A car of dried fruit came in this morning from California consigned to one commission house. Notice was received this morning that the freight rate on dry beans from New York had been lowered 15 cents. POTATOES—CoIorado. $1 1 15. New 2e -214 c pound.

GAELIC AND PEPPEM, SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE MARKET STEADY IN FACE OF BULLS’ AVALANCHE OF COTTON Owing to the continued absence ot rain over the greater portion of the be'.:, with no apparent relief in slgnt. the cotton market this morning took on a more favorable as pect. and displayed more activity than for ■omo days past. Early cable, were rii;ht in line with ex pectations, contracts being 1 to 2 lower at the opening, but later in the session an ad vance of 5 points was recorded, which ele vated the entire list to a net gain of 2 to 8 points over yesterday. Spots were unchanged and sales totaled 10.000 bales. The May and July positions in New York were supported by the bull clique and tho unfavorable weather news from the belt held the rest of the market. The opening was 4 points lower on May, unchanged on July, but the new crop months were ushered in at 4 to 6 points higher. Both May and July were quickly bld up to the same level and at one time soon after the call were 10 points higher than last night's closing. There was a little profit-taking around this level, but the recessions on this account never extended to more than a 3 point break from the best prices and as soon as the real ising was over the market again advanced to the first high level. The forecast for the central and eastern bri* B . I® for rains in Georgia.

There were few scattered selling orders in evidence during the afternoon, prompted by sheer dullness, but the recoveries were quicker if anything than the dedinea and the market at the close shows a net advance of 3 to 7 points since last night, the distant deliveries exhibiting relatively the greatest strength. Deliveries on May contracts at New York tpday were 19,400 bales, making a total of 206,000 bales in round numbers during the past three days, out of a total certificated stock of 2260,000 bales. That the market not only does not decline but holds steady in the face of this avalanche of cotton dumped upon the bull clique speaks well for the strength of their position.
