Californis Fruit at Chicago.
CHICAGO, September 5th.-The receipts of
California fruit since last report have been
light, and prices remain about the same as
quoted last. Owing to light receipts the
market has been better. Larger receipts,
Muscat grapes bring from 81 so to 81 rs,
and Tokays So So Muscat grapes seem to
be in better demand than Tokays, as the
latter are selling OF higher prices, and the
trade seems to prefer Muscats at lower
figures. Pears show no improvement, how
ever, as receipts from the East continue to
be large, but they bring 81 to 81 % per box. |
Plums and prunes sell at so cents to 81.

stores among the Chinese population, have |
been bought off, and Chinese groceries, res
taurants and boarding-houses have been |
started. The prices paid for some stands, |
whose owners had hardly paid expenses in |
running them, illustrate the thriving condi- |
ton of Chinatown. For a lease of u small |
beer shop at 26 Mott street, a Chinaman |
paid 81 600 cash. Eight large Chinese res
taurants are now competing for custom, |
and cutting rates.
