able circumstances, SaId L. G. hunZe, the fruiterer, today.
 "With fine pears, plums. pruneS, ap- ples, peaches and grapes in abundance it would be folly to talk of fruit famine. Still, things are not as they ought to be. This is due to the almost total failure of the fruit crop in near by districts, What tides over the difficulty, though, is the California Gupply. The incest pear of all the market just now IS the Mountain Bartlett from California which retails at 20 to 90 cents dozen. Nice Crawford peaches sell at 20 to 75 cents a dozen. Besides Foster and strawberry peaches, which are also good there are fine plums, such as Japan, which IS selling at Sl.50 per box of live pounds; egg plums, the finest of which bring 90 cents box, and peach plums bring Sl. The largest demand and supply, however, is in Ger man prunes, which are the best and sweetest We ever had in Chicago, and which are selling at Sl.25 per tiye-pound box. In grapes we have the Concord from Georgia, selling at S1OO per ten ;.ound basket. and California Sweetwat- CT and Fontainebleau at 90 cents per five pound box. or oranges we still have p.iper-rind, St. Eichaels of California sell ling at 73 cents per dozen. Nactarines are pOur and scarce, and so are apricots, but pIneapples, which are of fair qual ity, still retail at 90 cents each.
 Gen rally speaking, however, the fruit m lrket Is badly demoralized and is very u settled. There IS very little home fruit, and what there is Is rot good. Even Cal ifornia fruit is not what it usually IS. Among the first class quality we rarely geG perfect specimens of the gear, peach or plum. Often there Is worms Tn the best of this fruit, and the skin IS rarely smooth and without defects. How quite the market is is shown from the fact that myself have been shipping fruit of kinds from here to FlorIdI. Just think of ito Florida from Chicago"

 SALVADOR, Angus. With the death of General Rivas the Indian prisoners of war will join General Ezeta's forces and march against the Guatemalans. This is assured by Pou. He says that Rivas was idolized by the Indians, but with his death they will look upon his conqueror as their leader. Consequently Antonio Ezeta will take them to the seat of war in Guatemala and incorpor- ate them into regiments with the Saliva dorian.army, placing perhaps 100 with each regiment or battalion. They wdi be detailed to make night attacks on points of advantage held by the Guate malans. These attacks will be made with their ugly knives, and their charges will probably be successful. They will be forced to make them at the point of the bayonet, and will be allowed no ii g. arms.
 As Ezeta was aware of the methods employed in warfare by the Indians, he was able to defeat them. It is reported that everything is quiet on the frontier but active operations are in progress tC reinforce the army of occupation. It IF believed by Mir. Pou that Antonio Ezeta with his army of 2000 men and his In dian prisoners, should have arrived on the Guatemalan frontier tonight.
