Although several crops of,the early can tsloupea have been exhausted there still eotnes another. The Rocky Ford “cants” put ia their first appearance several days ago. The demand is increasing daily since the ar rival and now the people are beginning to find out what the Rocky Fords really are. Their flavor is by far sneeter than any that have been on the market this season and ths stock is firm and easily shipped. There prom ises to be a heavier activity with this crop of what are here regarded as late •‘cants” than any of the preceding ones. The quota tion at present is $2.50 and the indications now show brilliant prospects for the Rocky Ford ‘‘cants.” . _ The largest crop of oranges from Califor nia has not begun to corns in: The first shipments will arrive during the early part of November. The quotation of the present stock is $4.25 and this bids fair to hold for some time. The larger oranges now on the market are not as good sellers in the coun try ns the small and medium varieties be cause the country merchant wants oranges that ns can sell at the rate of at least two for five cents. The large kinds must be sold for three for a dime to make any profit. The California dried figs and apricots will arrive during th© latter part of this week. Some apricots are already on the market and the (radc is taking root her© and will flour ish. it is thought. The quotations on the apri cots are: Standard 12He. choice 13He, ex tra choice 14c, fancy 15c. The good tomatoes are coming from Arkan aas. Shipments are not being made at preß ent from other sections except in small amounts and th© demand for the Arkansas stock is moderately heavy. The quotation is 80 cents. . _ , _ The California plums and Bartlett pears •re now practically exhausted and by th© end of this week they will be a thing of the past. There are but few more small ship ments to be made to this market, the tail end of the crop. Carloads of cabbage from Colorado, bana nas and Salinas spuds arrived thia morning. All of these products are steady in price On account of the excited and steadily advancing green coffee market, the price cn both the green as well as the roasted goods is advanced one cent per pound, a'counding to advice received this morning. The advice said that from infromation received from this country and Europe there would be a iuitber advance in a short while. STOCKYARDS TALK Manchester cabled: yarns are firmer.” Amrding to some telegrams coming, pick ing in many counties iu Texas will be com pletely finished by the end of September if present weather conditions continue. Everyone is praying for a readjustment ot the spot and future markets. Either the new crop months will have to advance or spot prices will have to decline. The question is, if spot prices decline will farmers keep on selling? Many traders do not think so. With prices around 15 cents farmers quits naturally will rush their cotton to market. With prices around 13% cents thev preb ably would not be such eager sellers. Some cotton would con»p into sight, but farmers would not break their necks to get Emerson McMillin & Co.

PRODUCE ““ CATTLE I I IUUUUL the Light and Gazette Uli I I LL HEAVY RECEIPTS ANO STEADY TONE Northern Cattle Markets Re port Good Run on Mid-Week Market—Fort Worth Slow. All northern markets, with th© exception of Fort Worth scored >tr>ig «:t»vo markets this morning. Fort Worth was again the vic tim of heavy receipts and that market, which under ordinary conditions would haze been strong, was forced to trad© on a alow basis. Receipts in all yards were extra heavy for a midweek run and alt markets slow great strength in holding sum a good tone. The class of offerings was ex:ept*oually gocd and buyers and sellers fuuud little difficulty in getting together. Chicago's market was strong with fa rly heavy receipts in every branch of the trade. Totaj receipts aggregated 19.444 cattle, 20,- OOU hogs and 25,000 sheep. The hog market was a feature of the day's trading for a good demand for porkers wit experienced at the opening of the market. Sheep also took an active part in the day’s trading and tho 25,000 head receipts were readily disposed of at satisfactory prices. The Kansas City market wns an noth© af fair, the offerings being of good quality. Packers and butchers lost no time in getting in the trade, and the market opened with sufficient momentum to carry an active tone through the entire day's business. The total receipts of th© Kansas City market aggre gated 12,000 cattle, 5000 hogs and 10,u00 sheep. All branches ruled strong on quota tions. St. Louis experienced a steady market to day and commission men found no difficulty in disposing of the 12,000 head of receipts at high quotations. MORE HEAD THAN IN MANY MONTHS UNION STOCKYARDS, Aug. 31—Re ceipts her© today took a decided brace, this midweek run being the most liberal experienc ed here in several months. Total receipts ag gregated 543 head and the class of stock was choice. The market compared with yesterday was weaker, this being caused by the largeness of the receipts. For several days to come heavy receipts are expected for stockmen, encouraged by the high prices and good tones of last week's market, are shipping their cattle and nearly flooding the trade. Only about half of the offerings today received any buyers and tomorrow’s market will have quite a supply of leftovers from today. The market opened steady on everything but before trading was well under way sev eral carloads arrived and as buyers were few and sellers many, prices took a tumble and the market went slow. Butchers, packers, shippers and stockers all composed the buying side and each bought to his capacity of good fat cattle. Buyers quoted prices and sellers bad to ‘‘come under.” Ruling quotations today were as follows: Cows $2.50 to $3.25; calves $3.50 to $4.25, fed and delivered. Hogs topped $9 and sheep scored a blank. Cow receipts today were very heavy, the market being over supplied. Four hundred and twenty head composed the total offer inga and of this amount only about *275 were snld. Today’s market is in marked contrast with the usual heavy receipt run, today's cattle being of cnoic© grade. Cows sold fairly good at the start, but towards tha noon hour things got slow closed on n weaker basis. The calf trade experienced a little im provement over the other branches of the day’s market. 123 head of full fats heing re ceived. The market opened steady with the demand weak and closed lower. Most of the cattle on the market today was received by rail and at the noon hour several cars of mixed cattle had been unopened. A leaking sky would do th© calf market, as well as every other market, a great deal of good, for as it is now ranchmen fear to hold their stock for the great scarcity of cotton seed hulls and as the market up to today looked like a fin© outlet, choice fat catt’e have been shipped, only to meet an oversupplied market and falling quotations. Hogs and Sheep. Four hogs constituted th© total receipts of the porker trade and were sold on arrival, bringing the top price of the season, $9. The sheep market today was a blank. FCRT WORTH CATTLE.

Comrade opered 2% to 4 points lower, abiut as expected, but turned weak and closed 5 to 8 lower on th© new evrop. September was 12% low. Private advices from New Orleans stated that some pressure of spots might cause tn easier market. Miss Giles made the condition 73 1 against 76.4 last month and 67.5 last year, and the storm which eavorted along the coast yesterday left scattered shower* in its trail, rains being reported at Hrowai ville. Corpus Christi, Laredo and other points in the rice belt, but up to the noon li >ur the cotton region had received little or nothing in the way of relief. The market opened 5 points lower on the new crops and 50 lower on August Now York. A little selling carried prices down about 3 points further, but covering by shorts caused a rally of 4 to 5 from the lowest, the market al 11 o’clock being 5 to 6 points net decline. About everything in the category of the bears was worked for all it was worth in an effort to put prices down. First it was rains in a section where nothing but alligators are the chief product; then it was the heavy movement, although port receipts for tli° day were under those for the corresponding Jay last year, and finally rumor had it that sev eral states were offering spot cotton on u tenderable basis of September delivery. As a result of their effort in inducing a few out siders to turn loose holdings, the market sold off to a net level of 10 to 13 points under last night's closing only to recover 6 to 8 points as soon as the pressure was removed. Spots in New York were 225 points down to harmonize with the new order of things, middling 17.50 against 19.75 yesterday, but the spot quotation still shows a handsome premium over the price of September deliv ery (14.18) at the time spots were posted. At noon today the August option in New York became history at the price of 18 cents and marks the culmination of the moat sue ceMful and most gigantic deal which the com mercial world has ever known. The close was about half way between the highest and lowest of the da>, new crops being 4 to 6 lower than last night.

The ac tion of the market this morning sug gested the speculative short interest had succeeded in covering on the ad vance earlier in the week, and this morning there were a few contract of ferings said to be against cotton that has been brought here by express from Boston or other New England mill points for delivery at the last moment.
