DRIED FRUITS, NUTS AND RA1sINs.

The market is In decidedly better shape, and
stocks are being whitfield down fine. Whereas
we carried over last year 100 cars OF Apricots,
$50 cars of Peaches and 100 cars Of Prunes,
making about $50 cars of fruit, dealers say
that from present indications not single car
of any kind will be found on hand when the
new crop comes in. Already Pears and Necta-
pies light and there are very few Peaches
left to work on The trade says that the mar
l1et will be in better shape next GUNNER than
for years. The feeling is firm and Apples and
Peaches in quick and improving demand
at advancing prices.
AS for Prunes, the inherent strength of the
of the Howard bankrupt stock in Chicago at
this this is only i 3.o d under the . market 1T is
pretty good for a forced sale of bank
rupt stock. Supplies of this fruit are being
steadily reduced and 1t is estimated that Of
the 1000 cars produced by the three Pacific
States in 1898 there are only about 600 left,
with six months yet to work on.

Hides rule firm throughout the country at
unchanged prices. Hops continue neglected.
A local firm says of Wool: Eastern market
continues inactive and prices favor buyers.
After the brisk bidding and great strength
shown at the January London sales, where
prices advanced along the whole line, with all
offerings taken, 1t would seem that our domes-
tic Wool should show more strength, both
in demand and in prices; but somehow there
seems to be indifference and lack of demand.
