NEW YORK DRIED FRUIT MARKET.

The New York Commercial says. under date
OF January 4: The raisin situation is less
satisfactory than dealers might wish, but 1t
is generally believed that all supplies Of Pa
cihcs viii be readily absorbed during the
spring demand without injury to the trade.
Prices remain steady, even though demand is
small and distrbuHon confined principally to
retail orders. There is no interest in clusters,
and layers and foreign goods are wholly
neglected
Primes are quiet. orders being mostly small,
though the aggregate is satisfactory for the
season. Large sizes are practically unobtain-
able, except from second hands in small lots.
Holders are Indifferent, and make con-
cessions Shipments from the coast are only
three or four cars day. The general posi-
ton is so much better than usual at this sea-
son that prices firm all sizes. and bust
ness is conducted upon the suppostion that
quotations will ultimately advance.
Peaches are unchanged. Supplies in all posi-
tons small, and practically unobtainab bic,
except at high figures. Exporters make no
inquiries being prevented by high prices Hold
ers are confident that enlarged demand will
cause increasing quotations, and are not try
ing to attract business by offering at shaded
prices.
Apricots are held in small lots in second
hands. 1t is said that a few are obtainable
from first hands at high prices, but no definite
statement Of location accompanies the report,
and most handlers skeptical. Some ex-
port inquiry is noted, but insufficient to create
much interest, and trade is confined princi-
pally to retail business from jobbers stores

NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.-For the first time IN

tone Of confidence at the opening although
there was evidence of much foreign and do

national stocks were shaded, and it was esti-
mated that London sold some $4,000 shares,
mostly Atchisons, while there some pur-
chases from that quarter of Chesapeake and
