W. M. Rash received a. letter with a shipment that got In yesterday yester-day commending this fruit and calling thoni "Phenomcnals." Although vory little lit-tle known here they aro familiar to all "uutlvo sons" of lh.j Golden State, who call them Logan borriea. Tin's berry 53 a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry. black-berry. Its shape Is that of a large blackberry black-berry and the color that of a raspberry. In California they aro proportionately cheap; in Salt Leko the retail merchant has to pay $2 a. crate for them. Oregon berries still contlnuo to conao In. Somo shipments woro received yesterday and some more aro expected today. The prlco has been forced down by the increasing in-creasing quantities o the home-grown fruit that is now being dally poured on tho market. Utah strawberries were sold by the farmers to tho merchants from $1.75 to $2.25 a crate. Large crates, containing contain-ing twenty-four cups, will be for salo this morning at $2.50.

The past week has been full of fresh arrivals, ar-rivals, on both fruit and vegetable markets, mar-kets, and has been signalized by the reduced re-duced price of several commodities This, of course, is the best time of tho year for everybody, both consumer, retailer and wholesaler. Produce Is plentiful, nnd every ev-ery day the Utah farmers will mako some addition to tho list of things they bring in to tho merchant.". Strawberries havo held the cenler of attraction and aro getting get-ting cheaper all tho time. Utah berries arc' somewhat varying In price, as different differ-ent producers make different quotations. The little Cottonwood district seems to produce tho best berries in Salt Lake county. Grain Market Steady. The grain market has been fairly steady all the wi-ek. While buslncfs reports havo boon good from nearly nil the commission houses, this is not tho best part of tho year for this branch of the markets, as it is too early for any fresh arrivals to come In. The poultry dealers have had a line wick for their business. Eastern poultry has ben clvap and plentiful and homegrown home-grown fowls have boon in better condition than they havc been for months. A reduction re-duction was registered last week and tho prlco of llv2 broilers is now quoted at from $3.50 to $4.C0 Fishmongers also report re-port that they havo been doing a nourishing nourish-ing business.

CHICAGO, June 11. Abnormally wet weather in Manitoba helped to a considerable consider-able extent In offsetting the effect of tho liquidation in wheat today, duo to bearish crop reports. July wheat, however, closed at a loss of ttfyric. Corn Is off c, oats aro down c, and provisions show a gain of Cc to 35c. An excellent weather map and tho hear-lsh hear-lsh Government crop report wero tho main factors In tho wheat pit at tho opening, open-ing, although an easier tono in tho foreign for-eign markets had somo effect hore. Initial quotations In July wero off ,c to Jiae at S5?ic to S5"$Gc. Sentiment in the pit traders being disposed to lake the soiling sido of the market Bidding was very light, trade being chiefly In the way of evening up over Sunday. During tho flrt part of the session tho tendency of prices was steadily downward. A number of bearish crop reports wore received, which added to tho weakness. A potent factor In tho situation was a crop report of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, which stated, that spring wheat Is fully as advanced now as at tlio corresponding time lii3t year. The fact that harvesting is well under way also seemed to attract tinder;: to tho bear side. During the last hour the market showed somo resistance to tlio declining tendency. Demand for September wheat was of sufficient "olume to causo rt considerable advanco In that delivery. In sympathy with tho firmness of September, the July option made a partial par-tial recovery. After selling off to SoSc July closed nt S.V&c, Clearances of wheat and flour wore equal to 205.500 bushels. Primary receipts were 2S3.SO0 bushels, compared with 3O5.S00 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and ChIcano reported report-ed receipts of 210 cars, against 119 last weok and 3(0 a year ago. A number of bearish influences, tho most potent of which were tho weakness of wheat and a large increase In tho movement tended to create a weak undertone under-tone In corn. Tlio market closed at about the lowest point of the day. July opened c to "-ic lower nt 4Saic to 4S7sc ami closed nt 4SVif(i ASnC Local receipts wero 5C5 cars, with 23 of the contract grade. Tho oats market was low, but under tho influence of tho Government report, which claimed a considerable decrenso from last year In the total acreage, tho price of September was firm. After opening open-ing unchanged nt 39c, July ranged between be-tween 39.ifiO?ic and 3Wc, and closed at ! 39-ic. Local receipts were 122 cars. On active covering by commission 1 houses and packers, provisions were strong tho entire session. Tlio belief still 1 prevailed, that Eastern capitalists held a long lino of ribs. Strength of hog priros was a help. At the close September pork was up 32i?15c at $12.7712.S0; lard Mas $7.37.
