From all sections of tbo coun try conies the report of largo fruit crops. Throughout the section of which Pittsburg is the center farmers and gardeners are re joicing over the splendid yield. The one ex ception to the rule is in vineyard lines. The Iruit of the vine which is the most reliable crop tulvir-g one ear with another. Is this year almost n ulluro throughout Pittsburg's bailiwick. Last year grapes wero about the only fruit which could be depended on in this section. This season the fruit of the vine is- a failure Tho May frosts caught the vincardsat their most sensiti e time, and Viie result is that crapes which are the most reliable trait in this section mil this j ear lie ill vorj short supply. Last ear grapes "were about the only t'ruit to be relied on. This j eai the frutt ol the vine proves to bo least reliable of nil fruits.

One of the best markets for lumber has been practically cut off. A wholesale dealer explained the matter in this wise: "The yellow pine industiyVhasbeen particularly affected by the distressed financial condi tion of South America. For several years South America has taken about 200,000,000 feet of lumber per annum. During the last year It did not take one fifteenth of that amount. Tho country's financial affairs are in a terriblo condition, and there is no money to buy with. The worst of it Is that thero"does not appear to be any prospect of improvement. "Tho lumber which has been taken by Sonth America is now thrown upon tho Sorthern market, causing a glut and conse quently a weak demand and low prices." Business News and Gossip.

The improvement in tho call for money from the mercantile and manufacturing classes, previously noted, was the feature at the 'city tanks yesterday. As financiers predicted some time ago, there is strong probability that tho upturn will absorb all the idle cash, or, at least, reduce the surplus to a moderate working basis; and in. antici pation of this, interest rates aro stiffening. The hulk of business hero is at 6, with 57 as the extremes, but the inside figure is ex ceptional. Exchanges were $2,055,815 25, and balances, $506,495 63. Financially, Chicago is the West, and the tcne of tho market there reflects the senti ment and feeling of the trans-Mississippi region. The Tribune of that city says: "Tho money market continues reasonably easy, and but for the fact that withdrawals for country use aro expected heforo long oil quite a large scale, rates would doubtless be materially lower than those now quoted by the banks. Tho dullness of speculation has reduced the demand for call loans to a mini mum, but the requirements for legitimate purposes are quite as large in Chicago as for the corresponding period last year. The bank dealings are now showing a moderate gain, and the best feature of the Improve ment is the fact that none of it is due to speculative activity." At New York yesterday money on call was easy, ranging from 1 to 2 per cent, last loan 2 per cent, closed offered at 2 per oent. Prime mercantile paper, oK7.

The Boatman's Insurance Company's List Under the Hammer Philadelphia Gas Getting Down to Bedrock Switch and Electric Move Up A Better Feeling. Tho attraction in stock circles yesterday was the auction solo on the floor of the Ex change lJy John D.Bailey. The solo was by order of the Boatman's Insurance Company, and the list though small was made up of as valuable securities as are on the market. Tho first salo wns 8 shares of M. and M. National Bank at $61, followed by 50 more at $60 25. This was about the board priec Then came 109 shares Exohange Sational Bank at $87 23. This was a .big jump, the board quotation being about $50. Citizens National Bank, 143 shares, went at 63, and 13 shares of Poople's Savings Bank at $150 both slightly better than last sales on 'Change. Safe Deposit Company was withdrawn on a bid of $61. Monongahela Water Compans", 80 shares, sold at 29, half a point higher than the board quotation an hour or two earlier, and 120 shares at $28 50. The attendance w as small and made up almost entirely of buy ers. Nothing transpired on call demanding ex tended notice. There was hotter mquiiy for stocks, but the tone was bearish, and in this respect in full accord with the trend or speculation elsewheie. Philadelphia Gas submitted to a furtherfractional concession, but this was offset by the steadiness of hold era. Luster and Electric improved a frac tion each.

THE STOCK MAKKET FULLY AS DULL AS IT TYAS BEFORE, Prices More TJaslIy Depressed Than For merlyA Firmer Exchange Market With Predictions of Further Export or Gold Silver Certificates Develop New Strength. New York, July 21. The stock market -today lacked the moving causes which yester day made things interesting, and conse quently was less animated, with smaller fluctuations and less significance to the trading. Tho situation remains the same, and whilo larger operators distrust the as pect of affairs ou the other side of the ocean the market 1b left among tho trading element, weak and favorable to the bear side, because tbere is less reslstenee from any organized opposition, and in tho limited business done prices are more easily de pressed. Tho ventures, however, are con fined strictly to a conespondingly small scale, and short sales aro covered as quickly asposssible. The exchange market was firmer, and as nomaterialamount of commercial bills has appeared in the market, further exports aro Sredictodin some quarters. Louisville and ashville sold ex-dividend and ex-right to day, and was one of the strongest stocks on the list, but Burlington and St. Paul were still the onlv active stocks, and all the lead ing shares, including Lake Shore, Atohison and Union Pacific exhibited considerable strength. Sales by London and the bears caused a weak opening, but the pressure was soon withdrawn and a slow but steady re covery was started in the flrst hour, which continued almost without interruption until the last hour, when the usual reaction oc curred on the realization of profits on tho limited advances 01 tiie aay. The dealings throughout the day were devoid of any feature of interest, but late in the day silver certificates developed marked strength, rising above 1.000. Tennessee Ucoal, after a rise of 1 per cent, lost all tbo improvement, un tne oiner nana sugar do came very weak and dropped over 1 per oent, closmg at the lowest figure. The close was Darely steady at irregular and insignifi cant changes from the opening figures, though most stocks showedadvances. Sugar shows a net loss of 1 and silver of 1 per cent, while the Test of the market is practi cally unchanged. Railroad bonds were again very dull to day, the animation in the Atchison incomes having entirely disappeared, and the trad ing, more than usual of late, was barren of feature. There was some weakness in Read ing lsts and Richmond and West Point Es. The other issues showed only important fluctuations, and the market remained with out decided tendency in either direction throughout the day. The business done reached only $585,000.
