will be fully due to arrive here prior to June
about 81, 600 tons Australian. and there is in ali
about 100000 tons Coal capacity chartered for
here of which over one-half will be loaded in the
next three months Values have declined fully o%
during March and several cargOes have changed
hands, and for late loading there offerings
than can find buyers. There is q very small
quantity of Wallsend on hand, hence this grade Is
in demand at full figures. Recent cables from
Newcastle. n. s. w, report every indication OF a
general strike among the Coal miners in that sec
tion. If the colliery proprietors do not accede
the miners demands within a few days there will
be general .tie-up this month. The operatives

The Cutting Packing Company's circular SAYS:
SALMoN-Transactons in spot goods are OF
tremely meager character; considerable doing in
futures OF Alaska and some small booking of
columbia River at shade less for the latter than
last years prices on account of anticipated
lower price for raw fish, the packers are making
a stand to resist the extreme demands of the
fishermen, claiming that they cannot pack to any
profit at the high prices of last year and compete
with the lower priced fish of British Columbia and
Alaska. The result of these efforts Is not vet
YET gwen any inmation OF what prices it will put
upon the various grades. From the preparations
being made in all directions it is safe to predict
large pack, especially in low grade fish, which finds
Iavor on account of its cheapness in the United
States trade particularly in the Southern and
CANNED FRUITS-After discountipg all re-
ports from the sections affected by frost early in
March we find that the almond crop as a whole,
aprcots and peaches partially, and cherries in a
sun less degree, are severely injured north of the
latitude of Marysville and in a few localities south
of that line. Otherwise the crop throughout the
state OF all varieties is of the largest and hest
quality ever known. This is very satisfactory and
gratifying after the great scare naturally following
the heavy frost and unusual snow. The weather
during the past two weeks has been exceptionally
warm, and there is Stlll a chance for frost,
which would do even more damage than that oc.
curing before, on account of the trees being in
StlIl more forward condition. This. however, is
hardly probable. There is absolutely trade ex-
cept light jobblng from the Territories. Now
and then inquiries are made for car, but usually
for much smaller quantity. So far no values or
prices apparently have been made or even consid-
ereu Dy grower or packer
There is a species OF fight going in future of
peas and tomatoes, but little If any actual trade is
resulting therefrom. Spot tomatoes still dull
at 7OG7O12c for 212 bs and 81 80 for gallons.
Quotations are out for future asparagus, which is
about two weeks earlier than usual.
DRIED FRUITS-There is but little change in
the situation since our last circular: the demand
has been light on all varieties, and such sales as
have been made have been in hand to mouth
quantities
PRUNEs-Are firm. yet there is little demand,
no interest is manifest in carload way, and the
sizes quotable at 312c go a-begging.
PEACHEs-Of choice and prime quality are in
good supply, but fancy stock is The princi
pal inquiry comes for raisins- Stocks the coast
are fast being cleaned up and there is now every
indication OF an advance in values.
