"There is little of interest be said at the moment
regarding this article Sales OF last years packing
are going along without satisfactory regularity and
unSod STOCKS are mainly in the hands of one party
that is thoroughly conversant with the condition
and stocks OF all the cts Of the world, and is a
firm believer in there being sufficient demand 10
use up all existing supplies before the receipt of
newly packed goods of the present season. AT the
present time all Gamers are busy in making prep

Columbia fishing will soon commence, with all
probability of price of fish being same as last

being made, both domestic and foreign. The Alaska

similar volume to that of last year"
CANNED FRUITS-The Cutting Packing Co. s
circular says: domestic trade has been very fair
at Eastern points, especially for Peaches, Pears
and Plums and the two last named are getting very
light at least the Coast, and presume equally
az Eas points. else there would not be good
demand from nearly every quarter. Peaches are
moving out fairly WELL especially the cheap quail
ties. The chief excitement during the past month
has been over Apricots, on account of the heavy
frost in Ger ain localities the second week March,
especially in the central part of the State. Although
it may be hardly safe for Californian to express
such an idea it is doubtless true, that the crop is
practically destroyed in certain localities, and
while such result may not have much effect on
the total crop, the early hgh-priced varieties are
surely seriously affected particularly in the Vaca-
vile and Suisun regions. 1t is not to be expected
that such result would affect the markets imme-
diately, and we do not learn that it has done so,
while at the same time it has stiened the ideas of
values in the minds of the fruitgrowers great
deal. We do not believe, however, that it will uti-
mately advance the price of manufactured goods to
any great extent, except possibly for extras"
