MARKETS OF THE CITY. THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD
COTTON IS PRODUCE MI
PEACHES BV THE.
CARLOAD ARRIVE
By Eight O'clock This Morning
One Firm Had Disposed of
Two Fulls Cars of Fruit. 1
Carload after carload of peaches arrived
in San Antonio thia morning and by 8
o’clock one of the commission firms alone
bad disposed of two whole carlots and the
*aleg were still continuing at a great rate.
The price on the fine Elberta peaches is
now down to 50 cents per crate for the bush-
el basket $1.25. The housewives are tak-
lag advantage of thia plentiful amount and
some of thom are buying in eight and ten
crate orders. The retail merchants are sell-
ing at 60 cents' to the consumer in accord
ance with arrangements made with a local
commission firm. Orders given to the 'con-
cern are turned over to ths retailers and
then delivered direct to the consumer at 60
cents per crate. “The season of peaches
is now in full blast and at thn rate they
are now going will not Inst for long” said
a commission man this morning. “So all
those who desire to get preserving peaches
had better get them « once. The Mile of
peaches at present is heavier than ever be-
fore known in Toxas and the supply bids fair
to be exhausted within a few days or pos-
sibly a week.' 1
Lemons are quoted at $6.75 against the
former price of $7. They remained
steady at the $7 mark for the i>ast several
weeks and are now slightly lower. The
Messina lemons are being received in bet-
ter condition and this will greatly relieve the
lemon situation Some are of the opinion
that lemons will advance higher than ever
before owing to the recent hot wave in the
* north where it is reported yesterday Mas
the hottest day of the year. That is the
place where prevails the greatest demand for
lemons and a hot wave north of Mason and
Dixon’s line will increase the demand for
refreshing drinks to a material extent. Pos-
sibly the arrival of good Messina lemons
will somewhat aid this condition.
Cantaloupes are still plentiful and more
are coming in. The price is remaining
steady at $1.50.
The price on onions is advanced to three
cents and they are very hard to get at
this figure. Some of the commission men
say that we will yet have to go to Califor
nia for onions.
The scarcity of tomatoes still continues
but a few were received this morning. These
were in very bad condition and had to be
gone over to remove th> spoiled tomatoes
causing a loss of about one-third of the
stock.
An advance of one fourth cent is report
on California pink beans. This makes the
present price 7%c.
FINANCIAL NEWS NOTES
In the month just ended the business in
structural material was one of the heaviest
on record it being estimated that new busi-
ness totalled in excess of 160000 tons.
Before very long the treasury department
is likely to issue some statistical matter on
the tariff making comparison with the pres-
ent law and the Dingley tariff act.
Advices to the various steel companies
who keep posted on crop'condilioua through
western representatives are more favorable
than they have been in two weeks past par-
ticularly from* Morth Dakota. As a large
amount of railroad buying of steel has been
held up pending more reassuring advices in
respect to crops manufacturers are much
encouraged by reports received.
There has been little change as to steel
orders and production. The steel corpora
tion continues to receive about 25000 tons
of orders a day with production running at
78 per cent of capacity.
An American Beet Sugar company offi-
cial says that the beet crop in California is
a little better than normal and while the
Colorado crop will not be large it is a sat-
isfactory one. The company expects to make
as much sugar aa last year and the gener-
al business outlook is considered promising.

LIGHT RUN FOR
MONDAY AI YARDS
Only Cattle Received Came
From the City or Near it —
Prices Are (.Improved.
UNION STOCK YARDS. July 11.—To-
day’s run has been the lightest for Monday
experienced in several months. The same
old reason for light receipts is given all the
shippers at present being busy in tending to
crops and making fodder. They will ac-
cording to all indications be occupied with
this until . about the last of this week and
possibly longer. After that time the receipts
are expected to Un heavier. It is more
than probable they will be very heavy to
“make up for lost time.’’
Receipts today aggregated a total of 115
head about 30 Iff which were calves. Cows
sold all the way from $3.25 to $4. This is
extra good for cows and for this time of
the year. For the last week prices have
been greatlv improved. Calves sold for about
$4 and $4.25. Hoga have been a scarcity
on the market for several weeks past. The
cause of this cannot be ascertained. Pos-
sibly it could be rightly attributed to the
same source as the light receipts.
Cattle arriving on the markets —what
few that do come in—are sent by the ship-
pers very near the city andthe majority
of them are from the city. The first few
davs of the light receipts the commission
men used the long distance ’phones strenu-
ously trying to get shipments of cattle but
they have now given up and will wait until
the’ shippers get their fodder made.

REALIZING SALES
ON WEATHER MAP
Setback of Eight to Ten Points
Throughout Active Options
Part of Loss Is Recovered
Cables this morning wer* about as ex-
pected. Contracts closed ’x to 2 points
lower on the old crop months and H to I
point higher on the new. Spots were down
3 points on sales of 5000 bales.
There were heavy rains covering many
sections of the southwestern belt over Sun-
day but there was also heavy precipita-
tion east of the Mississippi river.
The opening was 1 to 5 points higher on
the new crop positions and 1 lower to 3
higher on the new. The former sold up to
a net advance of 4 to 7 points shortly after
the call and the latter advanced to a net
gain of 5 to 9 points which brought in a
good deol of realizing sales on the strength
of the weather map and this caused a set
back of 8 to 10 points throughout the ac-
tive options but support was in evidence
on the decline and a part of the loss wss
recovered later in the morning.
The first new bate from this section of
the belt was received today by the San An-
tonio Cotton exchange. It was grown on
Gordon's ranch near Dilley In Frio county
and classes about strict middling. It will
be auctioned off this afternoon on the floors
of the local exchange to the highest bidder.
Subbscriptions from cotton firms and banks
have already reached the sum of $7O
which will be given as a |>ouus.
During the afternoon the market became
soft and sold off to new low figures for the
day on reporta of additional rains in the
। southwest some places in north Texas hav-
i ing had very downfalls since Batur-
-1 day but on the other hand the district av-
erages for the centralandeastern belts
I shows conditions east of the Mississippi riv-
er as bad as ever and about offset the
I bearish effect of improvement in the south-
west. At the lowest figures prices were
only 2 to 6 points under Saturday's close
and thia was nearly all recovered towards
the end of the session
New York was 5 pointy higher on spots
sales 13786 bales southern spots steady
and unchanged.
Futures closed 1 point up on July 5 low-
er on August and 1 to 41ower on the new
