DRIED FRUIT IN NEW YORK.

THE MARKET IS STEADY ENOUGH, BUT
 LACKS LIFE.
 The New York Commercial says of the dried fruit and raisin markets;
 There does not appear to be the life in the dried fruit market dealers would like to see. There is no stocking up buying for future delivery, and business is confined wholly to the satisfaction of present wants Of distrib- tutors, who are supplying retail trade. Mail orders are not numerous, and such as do come are principally for lots to fill broken stocks.
 demand. The request for large sizes seems to be smaller for the moment, and inasmuch as there few more to be had, it is quite as well Tor the trade as a whole All large sizes are gone from Washington and oregon and California has had none of consequence. Buy CTS will be obliged to take medium sizes in the future. but present they are indifferent and apparently do not care 10 make further purchases for either prompt or future deliv cry. Considerable quantities of medium sizes and few large ones are coming forward, but they are principally on orders placed pre- viously. No dealer has made any large pur- chases recently.
 Tn raisins there is no change. Clusters ap- pear to be In stronger demand. but the call for them is not as large as usual at this sea son. Even though it is generally understood that all supplies now on the coast are held by the association, which guarantees prices buyers apparently do not care. They are talk ing additional supplies. The dealers who bought freely of four crowns early In the sea- son are trying to dispose of them at whatever they will bring. The shading has created something of an uneasy feeling in the market, but it is said that supplies thus held are com paratvely small and that the trade will not suffer materially in consequence. Meanwhile there is a better feeling in foreign raisins, though no large orders are reported
 There is little change in the currant situa- tion. It is definitely announced from Wash ington that change will be made in the tariff. This saves the California industry from annihilation and prevents any reduction Tn present quotations. There is some expectation that the Greek Government will secure free admission into Russia within short time. which will afford outlet for practically all greatly strengthening the market.
 "Apricots are firm and difficult to obtain. All indications point to a rising market but possibly the change will not come imme- diately Spot stocks are small and supplies in first hands are less than usual at this time.
 Peaches are firm. No change in price is recorded. though there seems to be a feeling that prices will advance as stock taking is over and dealers begin replenishiag stock"

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-With a weak Liverpool market and rather liberal local aud Northwest receipts to contend with bulls in wheat were badly handicapped at the opening. Liverpool failed utterly to follow yesterdays advance here and on the contrary showed early declines of 1s41kc, probably because of the increase of 2, 800, 900 bushels in American stocks. Buying orders at the start were very few and far be- tween. May opened Ac lower at 67il Q67asc. This price prevailed for a short time, when the strength shown by the coarser grain market covering by local shorts The total amount bid for small, but in the almost stagnant a reaction in the May price to e79sc- Then the market weakened again. All outside markets were weaker than Chicago. New York re- ported very slack foreign demand. AS the foreign demand has been the big prop of the market in times of liberal receipts. reports of this nature had the effect of contracting the speculative demand, and prices once more slowly slid of, and before 11:30 May had reached 673sc. The selling pressure at time was heavy, but there was at times an entire absence of bids. Bradstreets report of the worlds visible supply showing an increase of bone the market had left, and late trading was all in favor of the bears. May rnally got down to e65sa67c and closed at 67q67Ac
 Corn was rather quiet but steady. The fea- ture of the market was the large direct export business almost a million bushels. This and the firm cables and wet weather made the market very firm at times. The weakness of wheat and the rather poor IT. quality or corn re, re | a slight advantage was lost. May closed a shade lower. Oats were fairly active and ir- regular. May firm early, helped by corn and the wet weather. December was weak and offered at somewhat under May without takers.
