The  only  scarcity  noted  Is  in  fancy  white  of 
large  nixes,  which  are  salable  at  close  to  50 
cents.  Stocks  of  qualities  from  medium  down 
are  large,  the  range  of  SO  to  85  cents  covering 
a  large  amount,  of  business,  Prices  on  the  bet¬ 
ter  qualities  of  storage  arc  one  cent  higher, 
and  some  large  profits  are  evidently  being  ,aken. 
The  latest  Government  report  from  221  storages 
puts  the  quality  in  coM  storage  at  143,000,000

Choice  apples  nre  scarce,  $4  being  a  common 
price  for  the  standard  Fall  rurlettes,  and  25  or 
60  cents  more  if  extra  choice.  Pears  are  rather 
dull,  there  being  a  surplus  of  poor  Bartletts. 
Peaches  average  low  iu  quality,  many  selling  nt 
$1  pier  bushel  or  under.  Better  grades  readily 
bring  twice*  this  ur  more,  and  some  choice  have 
sold  at  $3  Js*r  ti-busket  crate.  Plum  shipments 
from  Western  New  York  are  increasing;  8- 
p-iuud  baskets  bring  up  to  85  cents,  when  souud, 
others  down  to  15.  Business  in  grapes  is  still 
dull,  as  qualities  are  poor,  and  the  market  is 
full  of  the  YlUfera  kinds  from  the  West.

This  is  43.000,000  bushels  under  the  August 
estimate. 
Corn  has  suffered  largely  from  drought,  and  in 
the  extreme  northern  sections  some  litis  already  I 
been  cut  by  frost.  Eurly  corn  in  the  central 
portions  of  the  belt  is  safe  from  front,  but 
large  quantities  will  need  to  stand  until  the 
last  of  September.  The  estimated  yield,  based 
on  present  outook,  will  be  2,710,ooo, 000  bushels, 
or  840.000.0(H)  less  than  last  year. 
Oats  promise  1,281,000,000  bushels,  or  3<>9,uon,-
