CALIFORNIA RAIs1Ns IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The Journal OF Com
merce says: Increasing demand for California
dried fruits, with the approaching spring con-
Stunning season, seems to be causing gradual
upward movement in spot prices IN all lines
outside of loose raisins.
although the latter are generally held up to
quotations. there are still some lots that were
bought early in the season at comparatively
low figures which, while not being actually
forced on the market. can, 1t is understood
owing to the continued light demand.
1.-The principal feature of the dried fruit mar
ket at present is the enlarged demand for
peaches and apricots, especially the latter. In
quiry comes chiefly from large handlers at in
terror points like Chicago and Philadelphia,
and is directed to this market where supplies,
said to be greater than anywhere else. On
the coast ii Is reported scarcely anything in
the way of peaches aprfcots is to be had,
and supplies in all other markets outside Of
New York appear to be virtually exhausted.
Here the stock is small and in few hands.
views seem to be above those of most buyers,
hence, while inquiry is quite active compare
lively little business results. The demand Is
not of a speculative character, no attempt at
a corner being made, such sales as re-
ported being to cover actual wants of consump-
ton. The much discussed effort to organize
a combination of prune growing interests has
been without influence on consuming markets,
which owe their present hrmness to better
demand from consumers and limited supplies in
all positions of sizes most wanted, such as
40s to sos and extremely small fruit Medium
sizes, in consequence Of the scarcity of above
mentioned, coming in for more attention
and in consequence firmer feeling prevails -
