CALIFORNIA DRIED FRUITS.

NEW YORK, March s-The Journal of Com merce says There has been unsettled feel ing in spot market for prunes for several days owing it Is reported to influences exerted by speculative operators. Offerings of considera- ble quantities of sizes most wanted have been made here within the past day or two by Chi cago parties, it is understood at prices con- siderably below figures which local holders are disposed to accept. Rumors current to-day are to the effect that Chicago operators with an ambition to corner the market, at least largely augment their supplies. having by their purchase on the coast caused stronger feeling and upward tendency of prices there, had to New York with the inten tion of securing additional stocks here, and to that end started out to further depress this market by offering to shade spot quotations. They attracted to New York in the first instance. 1t Is said by reason that this mar ket for a long time past has been below pari- ty with California prices. All this. however. Is only market gossip. and no one seems ready to confirm it. At the same time there has been no positive denial of settling rumors far have been able to ascertain. If Chicago operators have been trying to depress this market with view 10 picking up some bar
 gains 1t would appear that they have had their labor for their pains. Stock here, we and holders. finding steady. fair demand for both home consumers and export buyers, do not feel at all disturbed regarding the future, particularly as the most desirable sizes are re-
 ported to be getting into small compass both here and the coast and telegraphic ad- vices from California indicate decidedly stronger feeling among holders there.
