ADVANCE IN PRICE OF NAVEL ORANGES

UNUSUAL REASON OF TOO MUCH OF ONE FRUIT IS GIVEN. FIRST PINEAPPLES HERE Cranberries Arc Higher Than They Ever Have Eeen 25 Cents A Quart. With the dropping from the rnarlt of I loiida oranges comes an adv. ii.ee in the price of California Ka-n-i i . ,1 P.... It. 1. . . 1.11 n. llie nouuieiii huh una mm h-.vav for two months and the crop is i.h' almost entirely consumed. There as an enormous vield this -winter and the cost of oranges has been e cap but now. that California fruit comes i:i to take the place of the Florida product, the higher translocation rates will be noticeable in the cost. Already since the Florida fruit has gone, the price of California oranges has jumped from 40 to 00 cents on the box, with a prospect of n higher price later. Some shippers attribute the sudden raise to the conditions in California. They say that the fruit has become so cheap that packers will not ship. The supply in the east became exhausted and the price was raised in order to start more fruit on its way. The first pineapples have been received and are first class, although they were shipped green. They came from Cuba and are retailing at 25 cents each. The season is early as yet, however, and better fruit and better prices can be expected before long. Cranberries are higher than they have ever been and they are hard to buy at $22.00 per barrel. There was a total failure of the crop in most places and this has raised the price to its present lofty position. Last year, cranberries were plentiful at $S a barrel. The retail price is 25 cents n quart, but the majority of the grocers refuse to Inindle them at this price. l The market continues to bo supplied with apples but the price remains high from $4.50 to $5.50 per barrel. A shipment was received yesterday by a wholesale firm in this city of three car loads of apples. They are of best stock and were grown in New York State. ..; JkilUfc-"" r v ... ...

CHICAGO MARKETS

Much Selling of Wheat and Support Lacking; the Predicted Cold Wave Did Not Arrive ; Corn Held About Steady. BRADSTREET'S VISIBLE. New York, January 31. Bradstreet's estimate of the visible grain supply is: East of the Kockies, decrease 74,000 bushels; Europe and atloat, increase 200,000 bushels; total increase 120,000 bushels; corn, decrease 00:5.000 bushels; oats, decrease, 1.04-UXM). Chi cairo, .January .11. Failure of the predicted cold wave in the United States to arrive according to schedule, and liberal receipts in the Xorti.west caused an easier opening in the wheat market here. In addition to the-c lhimrs the market at Liverpool was reported weaker. "May opemd 1U''1'C to t a 's lower, and later sold at S1 X5;'se. Corn Offerings Not Large. Despite Jar'j-er rn-eipts than had been expected, nll'erin.us in the corn pit were not lare. The market held about steady on a fair demand by commission houses. May opened unchanged to a shade lower and sold up to 441 -yC. The slight break in wheat brought on free sell ins: of oats by commission houses, resulting in an easy undertone to the market.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS j

Hay Still Hfgher; Best Price Was $5.75; Competition Was Strongest for Light Grades; Increased Sheep Receipts. Indianapolis, Jan. 31. Receipts, 0,000 hogs, cattle and 300 sheep, against 0.551 hogs, 1,2CG cattle and 15S sheep a week ago. and 7,127 hogs, 1.370 cattle and 275 sheep a year ago. Receipts this month indicate a total of IRGjOW) hogs, 27.500 cattle and 4,000 sheep, representing a decrease of 33.000 hogs, an increase of 2,300 cattle and 300 sheep, compared with last January. Receipts of hogs were only about large enough to accommodate immediate requirements of tie trade. Orders were not liberal, but apparently urgent, and with buyers anxious to complete their orders trading from the start was active and prices highor. Competition was strongest for j j the light grades and they sold f re-j joucntly "c higher, while heavier; i grades, w'.:ich went principally to; ! prickers -were strong to 21 .' higher.

Receipts of cattle were larger than they have been for some time, but top kinds in their class were scarce. There was an active demand, especially from local packers for female butcher cattle ami these tound an easy outlet at steady prices compared with yesterday. Steers were more diflicult to sell, but in point of price there was little change. Light to medium weight steers sold to better advantage than the heavier grades and, in fact, the market for plain heavy steers was easier. There was a good demand at strong prices for feeding cattle, bulls were not as high as yesterday, and calves sold strong to 25c higher. Sheep Receipts Larger. There was a little increase in the receipts of sheep and lambs, but the supply was again too small to encourage active competition. There was a steady demand both from local and outside sources. In prices there was little change as compared with yesterday, although sales of lambs were not as high. One lot of 116 lambs sold at $7.35, but most of the smaller bunches of good kinds sold at $7.00 and culls were quoted as low as $5.00. The best sheep again sold at $5.00 and culls to good kinds at $3.00 4,50. Cattle.

KET CONTROL STILL THE BULLS CONTENT "WITH SUSTAINING PRICES FROM ATTACKS OF THE BEARS. THE TRADING WAS DULL Though Stocks Rose Easily on Moderate Buying Market Largely One of Special Movements. New York, Januai v 31. TLo stock market opened buoyant and active, wilh practically all the important stock up a point or more. The Tutted Stales Sleel stocks, Amalgamated Copper ami Union 1'acitic gained 2 points each. Northern 1,'acitic Reading 3:;.j, Colorado Fuel 4, Anaconda 5 and Great Northern preferred S. The diligence of the traders in pushing up stocks at new points while they were taking prolits in the speculative favorites caused a highly feverish and irregular market for a time. While a dozen or more stocks were succumbing a point or two to the weight of realizing a similar number of new recruits were doing better in the way of advances. Activity quieted down greatly later and the market was firm. Market Became Dull. Prices rose on moderate buying. The active stocks got slightly higher than before and several non-dividend paying industrials were added to the movement. The market became dull again without a setback to the advance. Moderately large purchases were made of all the recent active stocks, but there were no sustained efforts to put prices higher, bull operators for the moment being content to hold their advantage. Heading moved up to 14114 but other active favorites did not improve. Special Movements. The market was largely one of special movements, which had little or no influence on the balance of the list. Heading showed the most activity among the railroads and Amalgamated Copper in the specialties, but neither got much above its previous best prices. Reading weakened later and sold off to 140"i, Northwestern rose 6 and Colorado Fuel 5. NEW YORK STOCKS. (Furnished by 0. G.
