GRAIN, 
There  seems  to  be  some  doubt  as  to  bow 
much  of  the  wheat  excitement  is  the  result  of 
crop  damage  and  bow  much  pure  manipulation. 
Conservative  observers  report  tliat  the  early 
Spring  wheat  mainly  escaped  the  rust,  while 
some  sections  ordinarily  producing  30  bushels 
per  acre  are  yielding  only  5  to  HI.  Broimhall's 
International  Review  puts  the  exportable  sur¬ 
plus  outside  of  North  America  at  304,000,000 
bushels.  If  true  this  would  do  away  with  the 
$2  wheat  hopes  of  speculators  hero.  Corn  prices 
have  followed  wheat  to  some  ovtcnt.  but  the 
crop  outlook  is  considered  more  favorable.  The 
heaviest  export  business  is  in  oats,  though  rail¬ 
road  embargoes  appear  likely  to  delay  seaboard 
delivery.

Quality  is  running  better  this  week,  owing  to 
cooler  weather  in  producing  sections.  Some  ex¬

more  if  steamer  space  were  available.  Present

The  range  of  prices  remains  without  material 
change  from  last  week,  but  the  average  of  qual¬

Choice  apples  are  source,  the  market  being 
overloaded  with  windfalls  and  culls,  scarcely 
worth  charges.  Pear  receipts  increasing,  ami 
prices  50  cents  to  $1  lower.  Pencil  market 
strong  on  the  better  grades,  the  best  in  straight 
car  lots  coming  from  Missouri  at  present. 
Scattering  shipments  from  New  Jersey  and  Mary¬ 
land  show  high  quality,  but  a  great  many  are 
suitable  only  for  cheap  basket  trade.  Berries 
very  high  for  the  better  grades.  Native  musk- 
melons  selling  well  when  averaging  fair  to 
good.  Rather  large  quantities  of  “Honey  Dew” 
melons  from  the  West  have  been  arriving.  This 
is  from  seed  of  Uie  South  African  melon  which 
has  occasionally  reached'  New  York.  It  has 
smooth,  cream-colored  rind  aud  greenish  while 
flesh,  and  runs  a  little  larger  thuu  the  common 
musk  melon.  Tlu*  prleo  varies  from  $1  to  $2 
per  dozen,  wholesale.  Retailers  complain  that 
only  oue  iu  S  or  10  turns  out  good.  If  tin- 
quality  were  more  dependable,  sales  could  doubt 
less  be  greatly  Increased,  owing  to  its  hand¬ 
some  appearance.
