NEW YORK DRIED FRUIT MARKET.

The New York Commercial says of Raisins
and Dried Fruits: There was stronger feel
ing noted at yesterdays opening, and indca-
tions pointed toward week of increased ac-
tlvity. There has been a gradual enlargement
of business. and prices have moved upward
by fractions many lines. Reports of ex-
haustion of supplies and the impossibility OF
buying some lines from first hands tend to
hold the market firm, and prevent any return
TO former low prices and dull business.
.Prunes are unchanged, but apparently trust
worthy reports say that 500 cars will cover all
coast holdings and those are principally Santa
Clara goods. If this be true, and buyers are
apparently inclined to accept it as fact, the
market is in strong position. The small lot
buying which has been practically the only
trade recently, indicates that distributors are
not heavily stocked, and it is believed that in
creased demand must cause an increase in
prices. Spot prices unchanged, but all
supplies held firmly up to quotations. and
no disposition to shade is shown by dealers
'Raisins are in the same position noted pre-
viously. There is little call for any grade of
loose Muscatels. except small orders and all
business is OF a retail character. Buyers are
indifferent, and there are no indications of q
change in sentiment at present

CALIFORNIA ORANGES IN THE EAST.

NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-The Journal of Com
merce says: The policy of holding tri-weekly
instead of daily sales of California oranges
was inaugurated yesterday and will be given
a weeks trial A majority, of trade receivers
we'll as 1obbers, heartily in favor OF
the plan. Buyers showed their appreciation
of this concession on the part of the receivers
by spirited bidding, running the price up in
one or two instances TO s. for extra fancy
stock. The average advance was 51lOc per
box fancy and 15q20c on choice grades In
all nineteen cars. or 1884 boxes, were sold at
a range of 81 S0Q5. Color and quality of the
fruit were an improvement on that previously
offered, and for quality sold results were held
by sellers to be the most satisfactory for the
season far. A number of receivers and iob
bsrs after the sale expressed themselves well
satisfied with the result of the first days sales
under the new departure and were of the opin-
ion that the plan of tri-weekly sales would be
made a permanent institution
Shipments of California oranges to all parts
of the country are being made at the rate of
thirty-hve to forty cars of 1856 boxes each,
which quantity in view of the decreasing sun.
plies OF Jamaicas and Floridas and limited
stocks of Sicily and Valencia fruit is held to
be scarcely more than enough to cover imme-
diate needs of consumption in the various
markets. Hence the feeling is firm and the
tendency OF the market is upward.
