Apricots. Pears were sought for, as were
choice varieties of PIums and Peaches. 1t
looks as if the bulk OF the crop of fruit has
been bought up, and buyers in search of good

are wanted. All the old stock has passed into
Eastern buyers hands. For dried Grapes of

The New York Commercial Bulletin of July
25th reports as follows on the general situa-
ton in that city: The advancing tendency of
Raisins, Prunes, Currauts and Nuts is being
heralded the world over though more partic-
ularly where such goods are grown, and the
result is that The various markets are being
put in excellent shape for the new crops that
will soon become available and which inn
poItars and dealers here will be expected to
participate in. The demand for California
and Valencia raisius Is increasing, and, as the
trade requirements become greater, holders
expand their selling limits. For best bag

layer. All sorts Of fancy prices are being
wired from the Pacific Coast for new crop
Prunes, and we understand that business has
been done for Eastern account at quotations
that sound to-day out of reason. Upon the
report OF smaller crop and higher prices for
California contracts have been made for
Turkish at the full figures of $1,000 in bags,
and 5+97c tor the four sizes in boxes, but tie
latter now are cabIed at the equivalent of 70
534c for additional quantities. Casks of'91
fruit are to-day bringing 51E@5hc and bags
5@51zc for ordinary fruit, while French are
offered sparingiy at steadily improving
values. Currants from q condition Of inaction
have now changed 70 activity We are re-
SIC, but the general asking price at the close
was SIC Tor ordinary quality. Barrels have
advanced to 234@3c, sales of quantities hav-
ing peen maze at - gt%4c as 10 quaHty.
Citron continues in good 'jobbing demand,
and hrm at 15@l51ac. Dates and Figs are
out of season. TarragOna Almonds are firmly
held at 18@16Lsc though the ideas of some
