Dried Fruit in Ne5v York.

The New York Commercial reports strong
and active market there as follows,
There is a firm active market for all varle-
ties of California and foreign dried fruits with
an advancing tendency noted on about all sorts
The conditions appear 70 be improving, and
higher prices on all sorts are looked for, as a
result OF the present situation Demand IN
creases for consumption, and there is some ex-
port trade. which helps keep the market stifi
and high.
Some export inquiry has developed in prunes.
but whether there has been any sales or not
had not been made public. There is more in
quiry for ten Jr more carlots and the prospect
IS that considerable sales will be made in the
near future Under the influence Of this stimu-
luS prices are tending upward and are ukely
TO be advanced in the near future
California loose MusCatel raislns are not es-
pecially active. but there IS q fair trade. There
are constant rumOrs to the effect that prices
viii advance shortly. but no authoritative in
ment The probability is that they will remain
at the present level longer, though an advance
is due before supplies are all sold up.
Foreign raisins active and selling liber-
ally at fun quoted prices. Supplies on the spot
are comparatively small. and Nalencias are en-
tirely exhausted. The next arrivals Will come
upon a bare market and those who have not
bought to arrive will have difficulty in secur-
ing supplies To carry them through.
Peaches active and the market rules
strong. Buyers are picking up everything OBJ
tainable If the quality is satisfactory, and Il
will soon be very difficult 10 secure stocks OF
the best quality. Spectators are securing con
troll Of the crop as fast possible and taking
81 out of the market. The result is that il vii
soon be virtually impossible 10 get anything
without paying speculative prices.
"Apricots virtually sold OuJ. but there is
some movement from jobbers' hands into con
sUmptive channels at full prices.

EASTERN MARKETS
Ne10 York Stock Market.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3L-Prices Of stocks fell
at the opening to-day and under the weight
OF selling for London account The market
at that center was in a state of semi-demorali-
zation on the news Of the loss of a considerable
force Of British troops by capture from Lady
smith. The sales for foreign account in New
York ran up to nearly $1,000 shares. The re-
sulting loss in prices reached a point OF more
IN several prominent stocks. notably among
the southern railroads, which have been recent
favorites for rise. The experience of yes
terday left no disposed to buy stocks and
the LONDON offerings were poorly taken. Ac-
tive selling Of some of the prominent stocks
ADDED 10 the weakness. After the opening de-
cline, however, some support was forthcoming
which seemed to be based on the hope of a
relaxation in the money strngency but quo
tatons for money at 20 and % per cent again
turned prices OF stocks downward The specu-
lative liquidation seemed to be concluded a hour
noon ana lhere was some recuperation during
the latter paIo OF the day which en-
couraged by strong spots in the list The iron
and steel stocks became especially prominent
led by Federal Steel. The strength IN This

outstanding short interest The rise in FNaS

37s. There was sympathetic advances in Ma

good demand for number of other prom mont
specalties. but railroads, especially those i'm
the Southern group retrieved a good part of
their early losses. The Wisconsin Central new
stocks were conspicuous for an advance To
about IA above last nights level. The mar

The call money market was very feverish ali
day recedlng several times but recovering
violently and suddenly. The last loan was
at 6 per cent, the low level and the rate ranged
above that TO 80 per cent. the demand being
apparently urgent and large. Loans were
called by the banks on an extensive scale The
demand for time money good and lenders
demanded per cent on choice collateral The
extensive calling OF loans is attributed 10 needs
for the first OF November settlements, and
there IS a demand reported also for payment

Northern Wheat Market.

OREGON.
PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 31.-The familiar term
buyers and sellers apart" is quite appropriate
when applied to the wheat market at the pres
ent time. for there is very little business trans

warranted by the foreign market situation and
current freight rates, and buyers have enough
wheat in sight to cover all immediate tonnage
engagements and will not bid above export
values. except in special cases. Walla Walla
is weak at 55Q5712c; valley, 56q5612c; blue
