pigiron show a further decrease. Reports that
possible foreign business in this line has been
rejected come from producing centers, but the
efforts of foreigners to obtain supplies here is
nevertheless testimony to their own productive
abilities being heavily taxed. 1t seems evil
dent that the first real inspiration in the wool
industry must come from abroad. Heavy buy

been again the feature but coupled with this
are reported liberal sales at leading markets

CALIFORNIA DRIED FRUITS.

NEW YORK, May 12.-The Journal of Com
merce says: The spot supply of California
dried fruits is reported to be smaller than it
has been for several years at this season, and
II is in few hands. For some time past New
York has been the chief source of supply for
dried fruits for markets east of the Rocky
Mountains, and many orders for prunes. april
cots and peaches have been placed here within
the past month six weeks by large buyers
in Chicago, st. Louis, Pttsburg and Philadel-
phit. OF late, however. inquiries from these
markets have been comparatively few and at
the present time the demand for goods from
interior points is light.
Holders here show disposition to urge
sales. The local demand since the beginning
of the month has been small Jobbers appear
to be well If not literally supplied, and as the
consuming demand has been moderate they
have not come into the market except when
absolutely necessary to fill up breaks in stocks.
