California Raisins.
NEW YORK, December 4th.-The Com.
ntercldt Bulletin says: The present copdi-
ton of the market for California raisns is
not as fattering as holders could desire.
There is no considerable supply of first
class goods on the spot or Offering to ar
rive. More or less trouble has been ex-
perienced with buyers who deem il expedi-
ent to r. Ject goods coming in on contract
for the most trivial reasons in some cas- IS,
and the adjusting of such difficulties is not
unfrequently the means of unsettling values
somewhat. A somewhat similar expert
ence with deliveries of prunes and peaches
has rather depressing effect upon the
market. These goods and prices are, there
fore, rather unsettled at the moment.
Doubtless the money situation has some
bearing on the market.
