THE FRUIT MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The Journal of Com merce says: Florida oranges about done. The stock here IS said to consist largely of frost-damaged stock, and, In consequence, prices are somewhat unsettled. California or anges are still arriving freely, but under con tinued good consuming demand prices remain stationary on both navels and seedlings. In Jamaica oranges the trade is only moderate, and under full supplies the market favors buyers but there has been quotabIe change in prices. California loose Muscatel raisins are still unsettled. While standard goods are held firmly up to quotations, off-grade and rain- damaged stock is to be had at lower fig ures, and offerings of these a compara- lively dull market have depressing influence on market values. Export interest at the moment does not appear to be very great, but sellers are confident that during the coming season trade with European buyers will show a large increase and there are entertained hopes that the export business will eventually assume large proportions. California 1t is estimated has already taken steps to control 1t in the future California London layers and clusters are scarce and frm but We hear of little demand. Valencia layers are in limited supply but in the absence of demand prices are nominal Imported sultanas are scarce and firm Stocks of California sultanas and seed less Muscatels have, it is reported, been closely concentrated by recent purchases and prices have an upward tendency. Currants are firm and offered sparingy but there seems to he little demand at present. California apricots of lower grades still wanted but 1t is re- ported that stocks we'll cleaned up on spot and that there is little or nothing more to come forward.

When the pressure is high in the interior and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast, rain is probable; but when the low is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon Is irl- probable With high in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Cali fornia coast warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter.
