DRIED FRUIT IN THE EAST.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13-The Journal of Com merce says The situation in dried fruits Is rather unusual for this time of the year. In spite of reported small stocks, based on the short crops of the past season, prices in many lines are barely steady and buyers seem to be indifferent as to the future. The latter are making no purchases for future delivery and buying spot goods only in accordance with actual needs of the present. In many Of the leading lines this apathy of buyers Is having a depressing effect and whereas at this season the market is usually strong if not tending up- ward the feeling generally appears to be easy. The purchase by interior buyers of a consider able quantity of peaches, apricots and prunes, chiefly the first named, has relieved this mar ket of a weight that has been depressing it for some time past but has not as yet re- suited in any reaction. which might be ex pected to follow the lifting of such load. There is, however much more confidence felt in the future of apricots and peaches and less scarcity of larger sizes restricts business, the demand is chiefly for this kind. but there Is no improvement in prices to be poted. In California raisins the situation is still uncer- tain, though the statement of the president of the California Raisin Growers Association is calculated to have a reassuring effect upon those who have believed that the organization contemplated making a revolution in the busi- ness The larger handlers In the East how ever, express great dissatisfaction with the proposed cut in the commission of 2iA per cent. and some of them say the growers will make more enemies than friends if they put that plan into operation next year. Most of the dis tributors at this end, the other hand. press an indifference as to what the growers may do the inference being that supply and demand will regulate the market In the future as in the past

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Opening prices in wheat were practically unchanged from yesterday. Northwest receipts comparatively small but this offset by a decline of 2sd in fu- lures and Id for spot at Liverpool. For a few minutes prices were at a standstill with very trading. Shorts were good buyers and many longs, acting on the belief that prices were in for a good advance, increased their holdings. Apparently the rapid decline in farmers deliveries in the Northwest oVershad- owed everything else in it's influence on trad CTS. Argentine news was favorable and early reports from the seaboard did not indicate very bright prospects for a continued good foreign Germany refusing offerings the ground that Russia was offering wheat under American parity. Nevertheless the local sentiment was bullish, and even at the good advance wheat did not come out in very great quantities. Near the end of the session reports of heavy shipping orders here for St. Louis and the seaboard proved additional stimulus to buy ing, and May, which up to that time had been steady, closed firm. at advance of about Sc.
 Corn was active and higher. Local bull traders bought aggressively. The wheat strength had considerable influence. May closed izc higher.
 Oats. though rather dull. were firm Offer ings were not large. May closed AGRc higher
 Provisions rather wobbly. The demand was very good, but hog receipts were heavy and packers offered freely of all products Liquidation became lighter late in the dav and the market f1rmed up somewhat May pork closed 5c lower and lard and ribs 2J5c lower

LONDON WOOL SALES.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The autc1on sales of wool for the year closed to-day. The closing tone firm and the prices realized to-day were practically the best of the series. The num- Der of bales carried over 21, GOO: 57, GOO sold to home buyers and 1000 to the Continent.
 At the opening of the sales competition was active and merinos firm. Fine crossbreds were well maintained, while low stock ruled
 irregular at a fall of per cent under the October figures. The demand TOT merinos in- creased, the Continent being especially eager buyers. After the first sale of the week me- dium secured and greasies and secured locks and pieces advanced per cent and finer grades of wool were better supported. Yorkshire wools sold at full value and at an unapproach- able advance over the prices obtained at the October sales. Crossbreds were well sought for since the opening, and especially medium and coarse. Heavy Continental stocks were low. owing to the Buenos Ayres gold premium being against them and the fact that French buyers had turned their attention here at the same time. Yorkshire wools increased in de- mand. Riverina clip wools turned out lighter and of dirtier quantity than in 1897 South Australian wools were heavier and of better quality. South African stocks were in strong demand throughout.
