Dried Fruit in Ne7O York.


Mail advices from New York say:
Without material change in yesterday
markets. there was perhaps, slightly more in
terest shown in some lines, and different mem
hers of the trade considering the prob
ability of the reduction in the +. o. b. prices
Of Prunes that was reported. Actual sales Of
any variety were small so far as known, but
there IS certainly more inquiry, and the per
sistency with which rumors of large sales
come TO the surface indicates that there are
large negotiations in progress.
There have been reports current the past
two days to the effect that the price Of Prunes
had been reduced 10 2&c for outside goods
Early in the week it was pointed out in this
column that such move was in contempla-
tiou. but that nothing had been done in the
matter then. 1t could not be learned with Ger
tainty that II had been done yet but appar-
entity something has been done looking toward
that object, because IL seems to be generally
understood. A number Of large buyers are
ready 10 take big orders at the reduction,
hence sales promise to be large in the near
future Inquiry IS said to be disappointing.
Notwithstanding the short crop in Oregon and
Washington and the probable small output
abroad.
Peaches ara unchanged. but the tendency
at present is in buyers favor The output is
going TO be so much larger than was original
~ estimated that prices are weaker, and a
firm offer for q round lot might secure less
than inside quotations.

OF prices IS upward"

Columbia b. 164: one from Baltimore. $500;
total, "a, 055 tons. This is fully equal to the
amount consumed. If We can keep up such
deliveries there will be no cause for complaint,
but this is very dubious as the increased de-
mand for fuel for the United States transports
for several months to come means very ma
terial shrinkage to our stocks in yard The
winter months will be with us shortly. which
signifies a doubling up of the monthly con-
sumption of fuel for domestic uses, and the
reserve stock which should be on hand to meet
our fall requirements is not here. There are

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The feature of to-day's
market was the vigorous offer 10 the bulls

listless and heavy condition by a sharp advance

invited such food OF realizing that prices

last nights level. The bears had a hand in
the decline but the demand from shorts to
cover was light and rallies in the general list
were OF small proportions The movement of
railroads generally throughout the morning
were exceedingly small either way, except in
a few individual cases. Chicago and Eastern
Illinois was pushed up over two points above
par but relapsed nearly three points. The
movement OF the specalties in the first hour
was a good deal mixed, Consolidated Gas and
Tennessee Coal shooting up two points, but
the Tobacco stocks, Brooklyn Transit and Sugar

revival of the old story Of the absorption Of
the former by the latter. About the same time

Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

What the Butter market needs more than
anything else is the formation of an exchange
where prices can be established. At present
dealers are quoting all sorts of prices, accord
ing to the state of their floors. One says that
25c is the top for creamery, and another shows
sales at 3O@31c. Still another quotes CSC and a
fourth PIC. This is foolish state of affairs
and is peculiar to San Francisco for every
other important city in the United States has
an exchange and thus avoids this nexcusable
confusion. 1t is not doing business modern
principles but is the way OF grandfathers.
Butter is weak. Eggs and Cheese are very

B,adstreet's on Trade.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say: With an exceptionally heavy
business already booked for the latter portion
of the year the mercantile community faces the
trade situation with confidence, testified to by
very generally firm prices and with quotations
in number of lines showing further marked
advances The most conspicuous exception 10
this is found in cereals, which are weak and
declining. Lower prices for wheat. corn and
oats point to speculative liquidation of tired
holders, who, with confidence in the future Of
prices, have weakened under unsatisfactory
foreign demand, large receipts and the near
approach Of expected heavy crop movement
Corn crop prospects, though less rosy still
point to full yield. Cotton. too has weakened
slightly. chiefly because advices OF rain at the
South though Texas crop advices are still I'M
satisfactory and stories of permanent demand
are forthcoming. With these exceptions most
staples are either firmly held or evince decided
progress upward. notably in this latter respect
being iron and steel of all kinds. but particu-
larly pigiron, which is the center of trade
interest owing to heavy demand. particularly
for foundry grades, at advanceing prices. Trade,
