Dried rnIiforuiu rruitr.

Tho New York journal OF Commerce says
In California fruits the consuming demand
IA quiet, but in view Of tho prospect Of a
short crop this year speculative interest has
been developed OF late. with the result, 1t ~
understood. that available spot supplies have
been becoming concentrated. This Is particu
larry true OF apricots. recent purchases OF
which. il is understood. have placed the bulk
OF the stock IN two OF three biRds. The con-
Stunning demand for aprcots Is for large,
bright. Rood-kcepng fruit, but of this there
ia said TO be little left, either here or on thu
coast. The market closes Arm. with the tcn-
dency upward. For peaches there II reported
to be considerable demand, but buyers and
sellers seem TO be apart In their views, Choicc
spot Il reported to be scarce in all POSITIONS
Speculative interest In pruncs is increasing,
but the consuming demand does not show
much Improvement. California advices are TO
tho eject that stocks there are well cleaned
VI and that nothing Is obtninablas below u
basis OF 3c for the four sizes.

Us. w. Hunter &c Co.'s Cotton Letter.
Liverpool was about half point lower and
August In New York opened at the inside
price of last night, and declined points in
sympathy with the weak stock market and
the warlike ncws from Washington. There
was rally from $50 for August to 6. O2 with
the close quiet at that price, 3 TO 4 points
OF on the day. New Orleans declined 8
points and recovered l point with no life
whatever in the trading. In fact the in
terest in the cotton market must be almost
nothing, or certainly there would be more
active fluctuations while this war excitement
is at such height, The ri.ror that had the
most effect upon the market was that the
lying squadron had been ordered to sail,
but this proved later to be only for forty
eight hours practicing cruise. Spanish tours
fell per cent and the bourse in Paris was
reported as sdmi-panicky. European orders
were in the stock market to sell IL 0on shares
and commission houses who bought stocks
last week were heavy sellers. shorts were
also active and put out biz lines greatly
increasing the already large interest en- that
side of the market The buying continues
to be for the strong and substantial inter
osts OF the country who always come in on
such market as tcday's ana are seldom n
ever wrors, 1T does seem that II the rosolu-
tions as reported today to the house and
senate pass that it will be a very difficult
matter 10 prevent war unless Spain backs
down
