CALIFoRNIA RAIsINs IN NEw YORK.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25-The Journal of Com merce says: Competition of California products has reduced the outlet for many foreign goods of similar character during the past year or two. and among once prominent articles of European growth In this market none seems to have felt this competition more than Valencia Raisins, which, before the time when Cali fornia Raisins became important factor were in universal demand in the United States and which even for some time thereafter held important position among commodities necessary to supply of trade.
 ported Valencias have been supplanted by cheaper California fruit from a table pre- pared by Jaime, Morandy & Go. of Denia Spain, giving the total shipments of Valencia Rasins at that port from 1850 to date, some interesting deductions may be drawn. In all these years until 1895 shipments to the United States and Canada were largely regulated by the condition of supplies in the primary mar ket, there being question to the amount required for consumption here But from that time to the present imported Valencia Raisins have been gradually displaced by California fruit, owing more, it is said. to low prices than to good quality of the latter. In 1894 imports of Valencia Raisins at United States and Cana dian ports were .00S quintals. The following year but 59,S06 quintals were imported In 1S96 the imports amounted to s. 726 quintals, and In 1897 to 65 4S5 quintals. but 1t Is under stood that the greater part of the stock in both years went to the Canadian market.
