FAIRLY ACTIVE BUSINESS WEEK ENDED JULY SO SATISFACTORY TO LOCAL TRADERS. Detter Quality of Fresh Fruit nnd VegedtMen After Weilnenlay'it Ruin Eetter drain Trade Situation. Despite the heat that has prevailed during the week closed on July LY. In several lines a very satisfactory trade was enjuytd. and on Commission row business was in excess of the corresponding week of.lt In the early part of the week receipts of fruits and produce were light, not enough to supply the demand. Following th rain of Wednesday, the market tcok on more activity and the week closed with prices hardly us strong as prior to the rain. "Waterntclors and canteloupe are arriving liberally, and as the demand is good the commission houses are handling more melons than in July of last year. Some very line canteloupe are arriving from Terre Haute and the southern part of the State. Most of the watermelons are from States south of the Ohio river. The quality of melons shipped from the Southern States and those of Indiana growth is excellent and improves steadily as the season advances. Lemons are in active request, with prices very lirm. The last day or two it was noticeable that receipts have increased and lower prices are likely to rule when present stock Is cleaned up. Oranges are quite firm, as are bananas, with holdings light. Tomatoes are firm, the dry weather Unding to cut down arrivals and make the market stronger. Huckleberries, blackberries and currants are in good supply, with prices ruling much the same as in the early part of the week. The poultry situation is unchanged, supplies not coming forward in any large amount. Young chickens are selling higher than they were at this time last year, and sales are curtailed on that aecount. Smoked meats are In active request at prices as revised in the early part of the week. Thero is an active demand for choice butter and it sella readily If good. It Is the season of the year when butter U not expensive and people will eat only the best. The cheese market Is sufficiently supplied for the trade, with prices unchanged. Egg are firm at quotations. The Hour market is unsettled,- with conditions favoring an udvance. and one will not be a surprise at any time. The decline of live points in sugar on Wednesday was not unexpected. It is cialmed that sugars are higher than Is necessary and should decline. Importations of foreign made are not assisting to keep prices up to the standard of value now being forced by refiners, and lower prices must prevail. The coffee market is without new features. Navy beans jre selling well, prices ruling rasier than thirty day ago. For the first tim? many months the iron and hardware hou;.;- report trade rather quiet, but uch a condition is temporary. The Mde market cirrus a firm tone, but no further advance i looked for in the Immediate future. Leather Is in a strong position, but the tendeiuy to a hardening of prices is not so pronounced as thirty davs ago The local grain market, during the pst wevk. was the most active in nianv month Local receipts of wheat have 'averaged about fifty ears a day. and there has been some increase in rectlpts of corn. All arrivals are in active request. Th local flouring and cerealine mills ;m. turning out more products- than at any time for "some months pest.

HEAVY SALES OF SHARES

Tin: avi:i:k closcs with vkiiy ri:iiMsTnvr liqi'iijatiu.. Stocks at tlie Lowe.it, lxcept In u Few Instance .Honey 31arket Conditions Are 3Iuch Improved. NEW YORK. July :o. Anxiety over the "Wrs-urn crop situation overbore all other considerations in the stock market to-day and carried prices down through the attemps of the inside interests in certain stocks to support the market. The closing prices were near the lowest, and the market was active and weak at the lat. The only modiücation of the weakness was due to the buying to cover and take profit3 by the bearish tracer, who saw handsome proflts accrued as a result of the decline late yesterday and to-day. These bearish operators have been supposed by Wall street to be resident chiefly in the West. and to be concerned in bulling grain as well as bearing stacks. The feeling gained force in Wall street to-day that this double campaign has more baiis in fact than wa3 behoved yesterday, and the Western contingent received large reinforcements from Kistcrn sources. The supporters of the market made headway against the bears in the first hour, when ' vigorous efforts were made to drive the bears to cover. There was a resumption of pool operations in Southern Pacific, and that stock, as well as St. Paul and Missouri Pacific, were lifted well over last night. Aggressive selling by the beers Immediately developed, based on the reports of new damage to the corn crop and reports of extensive damage to the spring wheat crop, now first heeded In Wall street. Another attempt wes made to rally the market on the strong bank statement, in which a large loan contraction co-operated with a substantial Increase in cash to recuperate the surplus of the banks. However, higher bids for stocks brousht out such large offerings that the bulls were obliged to desist, and prices fell by rapid stages practically up to the close. St. Paul fell 4 points under lait night. Rock Island 4U, Northwestern S, Atchison 3"Si the preferred and others of the Pacific and Southwestern groups, as well as leading Southern and trunk-line railroads and specialties from 1 to 2 points. Some of the less prominent stocks showed loj-ge losses. The United States Steel stocks were largely dealt in, but moved narrowly and were well supported, the common losIng only M and the pi ci ei i fu closing g j -1 . . 1 1 ' higher. This week opened with a deluge of liquidation of stocks induced by the unlookedfor rupture of negotiations and calling of a strike by the members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. The shutting down of some of the anthracite mines on account of a firemen's strike was also a depressing factor. Coming on top of last week's severe declines and the resulting losses and Impairment of margins and resources, serious consequences were threatened by this renewed demoralization In the stock market. The realization of this was apparent in the effective measures taken to support the market by the two dominant groups of capitalists, whose quarrel precipitated the Northern Pacific corner and th? May panic. The mere fact, which was made patent to the speculative public. that these two powers were united in support of the market afforded immense relief to sentiment. The acute depression of the week before was principally due to the evidence of selling on behalf of one of the interests of the various stocks and to the tear, to which this gave rise, that the Northern Pacific quarrel had broken out afresh. It was evident that no vague Intimations and assurances that all was harmony would avail to quiet the disturbances caused by this fear. The decisive step was, therefore, determined upon of announcing the new harmony board of directors for Northern Pacific. This step was admittedly taken with a view to stock market exigencies and to lessen the pressure of liquidation which was proving detrimental to many important financial projects and depressing prices to a level felt to be unwarranted by the promise of the future of sustained and Increasing earning power. Karly knowledge of the coming announcement was clearly apparent in the enormous buying all through the list by insiders on Wednesday, although it was not until Just before the close that the announcement was given to the public. One of the detrimental effects of the slump in American stocks was its unsettling effects on the London stock market, where a fortnightly settlement was in progress. It Ir, a striking example of the new Importance and influence of American financial affairs that a decline in the shares of an industrial corporation in New York should result in a drop in British consols to the lowest price in a decade. The immediate explanation is found in the fact that the course of United States Steel stocks aroused distrust among London bankers, and money wa.- difficult to secure for the carry-over on those stocks. In fact. American securities, as a whole, were somewhat affected, so that even discount rates hardened during the pendency of the settlement. Heavy blocks of United States Steel stocks have been placed abroad as the result of the recent foreign visit of the foremost capitalist in the corporation syndicate, but they came back in a stream this week as a result of the strike. The drop in consols was s. apposed to be due to lare offerings by the American syndicate, which it will be remembered received a liberal allotment of the last issue. This operation was naturally resorted to as an offset in the international exchange market to the selling in New York by British holders of American securities. The impression produced on the London market, which led to something resombding a public remonftrance from Lord Rothschild on Monday was doubtless an additional motive towards the action taken to support the market and check the decline. It made it evident that a part of the heavy liquidation of last week was due to preparation for supporting the market, which it was foreseen would be necessary this week. The moral effect on -the strike situation of a rally in the United States Steel stocks in face of the strike was doubtless considered also by the capitalists interested in that corporation. The closing of the Northern Pacific settlement wns thus hastened and published Wednesday evening. Money market conditions have been easier as a result of last week's important liquidation, and the government operations through the suhtreasury have made important contributions to the money market. The disposition of bankers, however, is still toward rather cautious conservation of resources for the requirements of the crop movement. The breaking of the drought In the corn belt relieved the fenrs of absolute disaster there, but in the same measure the promise of prosperous conditions is seen to Involve an active interior demand for money in th near future. There persists also the underlying Influence of a probably prolonged contest in the steel trade, involving nonproductlon and consequent reduction of demand which would otherwise result from the wages and profits thus discontinued. Railroad bonds have moved In sympathy with, but less widely, than stocks. United States refunding twos, the threes and the old fours advanced 4. and the new fours fell V last week Following are the day's share sales and the closing bid prices: C:o.in I'd i. 7F, 9 6 92 13'; 6 4 4.i 204 -. 23 63 124 2Z S14 ' ISO 142 2d 3&7 9 13 49 23 15.5 41 36 C54 Stocks.

Decrease in Loans and Increase In Re serves Help the Market. NEW YORK. July 20. The" statement of the associated banks for the week ending to-day shows : Loans, decrease J12.26S.900 Deposits, decrease 8,44S,8X) Circulation, increase SO.ti.lO Legal tenders, increase 9l8,7o0 Specie, increase 5,189,100 Reserves, increase C.1O7.800 Reserve required, decrease 2, 112,2,0 Surplus, Increase 8,220,0)0 The banks now hold 521.029,373 in excess of reserve required under the 23 per cent. rule. The financier says: "The statement of the New York associated banks on Saturday showed, from the borrowers' standpoint of view, the very gratifying increase in surplus reserve of $8,220,000, carrying this item to $21,029.373, or very close to the figures recorded at the beginning of June. The present position of the banks in this respect Id such as to relieve apprehension on their part of being seriously Incommoded through a withdrawal by their correspondents of cash to an extent sufficient to compel restrictions in loaning in order to maintain their percentage of reserves. The institutions, as a whole, loaned less freely than usual, because of the lighter demand for money, and this fact will In greet part account for the reduction in this item. The gain of JO.SiO.O in cash was slightly below the amount shown by the preliminary estimates. The increase of tö,18J,lX) in specie largely reflects subtreasury operations. The decrease of $S.44S,8u in deposits is out of harmony with the other items. From present indications the banks will continue to gain in cash through subtreasury operations and receipts of gold from the l'aciflc coast assay efiice. there being about Jl.00o.00y of the latter which probably will arrive during the coming week. A movement last week of $2o0.0o) currency by transfer through the treasury to Chicago and of $1xi,U'h) to New Orleans was evidently for the purpose of securing denominations of currency which were deficient at the points named and did not indicate a beginning of the crop movement, as surmised in many quarters. The outlook for the present favors easy money, but important Institutions in wheat report a steady demand on the part of their country corresjKjndents for funds. This will, no doubt, be reflected soon at Eastern centers, but the trend Just now is In this direction. At any rate, the banks have recouped lapidly in reserves, and are in a strong position to meet the demands which may be made on them later." FOUND IN THE CABIN. Dodles of Ida E. and Anette Colbnrn Taken from Sunken Yacht. NEW YORK, July 21.-The bodies of the Misses Ida. Elizabeth and Annette Colburn, the daughters of Arthur T. Colburn, of Philadelphia, who were drowned, with their father, when the two-masted yawl Venitzla sank in Long Island sound last Thurpday, are now at the establishment of a Brooklyn undertaker, awaiting orders from Philadelphia for final disposition. The bodies were found in the cabin of the VenItzia when she was raised yesterday, and the vessel, with the two dead bodiws, was brought to Brooklyn to-day by the steam derrick which raised the sunken craft. So far the bodies of onlj- the two daughters have been found, leaving those of Mr. Colburn. Captain Flint and a sailor known as Frank Still to be located. The bodies of the two young women were In a fair state of preservation. The yacht was raised at a point about midway between Greenwich. Conn., and Sands Point. Long island. She Is now afloat in Mcintosh basin, Brooklyn, to-day, looking outwardly but little the worse for her mishap. TWO BROTHERS SHOT. One Killed and the Other "Wounded for Slandering Women. CLINTON, 111., July 21.-At De Witt, a small town ten miles east of here, Warren Brewster shot Kd Taylor, who died instantly, and Clay Condor, Brewster's partner, shot Fred Taylor, brother of Ed Taylor, in the arm. Condor and Brewster are both under twenty-one years of age and came here from Danville, Ky., last spring. A few weeks ago they had trouble with the Taylor brothers, who relented remarks they had made about some of the young ladies of De Witt, and Brewster was knocked down by Ed Taylor. Last night they met the Taylor brothers and began shooting. Brewster and Condor are In jail at Clinton. Prnylnj for Hain. When all was fair and all was good. Man viewtsl his waving fields with pride.

The story of corn was a story that could have been told of any session during the past fortnight. There was the same uncompromising weather map and the same general demand from the afflicted districts i'or corn to replace that which the elements have burned. Messages from the great maize raising zone were of one tenor. There was scarcely a cheerful note in them. Loc.il people, fearing that a rain to-morrow might upset their calculations, sold on a liberal scale, but the buying by people who need the corn continued steadily, and the close found the bull position still secure. September sold between 540 and f"c and closed l?;lV:-c higher at 55Q50'kC. Receipts w.re 215 car3. Oats also continued to advance. The demand was heavy, but little was forthcoming, save from speculative longs. September ranged between 34c and Kc, closing c higher at STHc. Receipts were 110 cars. Trade In wheat was comparatively quiet. September opened Hfic higher at fO'iGJVjc, in sympathy with corn. For a time the market held above G9e under additional austaining factors in the shape of scattered damage claims. There was, however, a big long Interest still bearing in mind the fact thai the wheat crop bids fair to be a record breaker, and under persistent liquidation from this quarter September worked down to 68Uc and closed easy, Mlhc lower, at GoVs&tJS'ic. Seaboard clearances were 742.0(H) bu. Primary receipts were 919MO bu, compared with 734,0t0 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 27 cars, against 199 last week and 205 a year ago.
