Dried Fruits, Nuts and Raisins.

All fruits except Peaches are firm, and most
kinds scarce. Prunes continue sluggish
about opening and the only sales of new crop
thus far short sales and the sellers may
not be able to deliver the goods. A significant
fact in this connection is that a heavy New
York house that made large sale of old
Prunes last week Is buying some of them
back again at a higher price than they sold
them for. There few conditions to make
any dried fruit cheap this year. though the
usual attempts TO keep prices low being
made.

EASTERN MARKETS
Ne1U York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The demand for Sc
curities mostly expended itself in the early
trading to-day and the weight Of realizing
sales became more burdensome. and at last
made the general tendency downward, al
though the marking up OF 4 few stocks at the
close to top prices made II irregular North
ern Pacific and the Union Pacific stocks reach
ed top prices IN the final dealings There were
quite a number Of quite obscure stocks which
held good gains throughout but the earlier rise
in many cases was almost wiped out. The mar
ket started off well under the influence of the
cheerful tone OF foreign markets An early
drive against Tennessee Coal, which carried II
down four points. caused i momentdry halt
especially in the specialties. Yesterdays strong
upward movement in Tobacco was resumed,
carrying that stock 70 1912 and causing sympa-
thetic gains OF between one to two points IN
other leading spectalues.
When it became known after noon that the
directors OF the Continental Tobacco Company
had failed to declare dividend. as many
spectators had hoped they would, there was
drop in Tobacco stocks which reached pa in
American Tobacco. Sugar Brooklyn Transit
and Manhattan responded in sympathy and
drifted rather uncertainty for the rest Of the
day. except for some strength in individual
stocks. The reduction of the dividend rate in
Consolidated Gas although 1t had fully been
expected. had bad effect on the market. The
kt@cH itSelt Vlbrated IeNeT!sEiy over Ihfee
points and closed at d fractional loss. There
was quite a notable display Of strength by a
group Of minor granger roads. Realizing was
IL evidence all day in some Of the Southern and
Southwestern stocks which had shown recent
strength. and this combined with renewed
weakness in the specialties made the closing
rather heavy. except in the cases named.
The money market conditions abroad account
ed FOR the cheerful sentiment from that quarter
and the London buying Of stocks here had it's
effect in the fractional decline in sterling eX-
change So also had the stiffness of the local
money market, which ruled firm at about 3
per cent.
Tie bond market was quite active. and a
number of speculative issues showed advances
