abated to any considerable extent May opened

Cold weather and increased country offerings
started Corn easy. During the last hour of
the session rumors of heavy Wall street buying
started the crowd to cover and May rallied a

Oats kept in close touch with Corn, although
it did not show much gain as did the leader.

CALIFORNIA DRIED FRUITS IN NEW
YORK.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The Journal OF Com
merce says: While there is no speculative in
terest shown in California dried fruits 1t Is
reported the demand from consumers of late
has shown marked improvement. Exporters
have bought comparatively little but they,
too are more disposed to buy. With spot
stocks comparatively small and for the most
part in few and strong hands, an increased
buying interest the part OF both home and
foreign consumers is said to be having the
effect of strengthening the views of sellers,
and the latter holding back. waiting for
bids. Raisins appear to be about the only
certain. Everything depends upon the ability
of the Growers Association to carry through
It's new plan. The opinion is freely expressed
here that packers will not sign contracts in
sufficient numbers to enable the association to
carry out its plans, and this, together with
the opposition raised by Eastern commission
merchants. may. it Is believed, lead to an
early dissolution of the organization. The
friends of the latter. however, say 1t has
enough strength to overcome all opposition.
