Of prunes in France the past season was In
fair quantity and of an unusually good quail
ity. The market in Bordeaux appears well
sustained, with no disposition to urge sun
plies, the belief being entertained that there
is on hand the entire available quantity re-
Qnired during the coming season. The
Turkish prune crop was comparative
failure this year. Tho stock OF Valencia
raisins is exceedingly small and consists
chiefly OF better class fruit. The crop Of
Malaga raisins this season was small, but
as this country has become almost wholly
dependent upon California for similar
class Of fruit, the scarcity has been without
influence on this side OF the water. For
grades Of imported fruit there is yet mod
crate call. Good fruit has been Ia fair de-
