THE RAIsIN MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The Journal OF
Commerce says: Telegraphic reports that
raisin growers and packers have come to an
understanding with regard to the handling OF
next seasons crop have not as yet received
positive confirmation. according to some OF the
larger commission merchants here, while the
basis of operations may have been established
by the association, unless cooperation was
secured OF some of the larger outside packing
concerns which up to a late date had positively
declined to go into the combination, the sue
cess of the growers association was uncertain.
Trade here is awaiting fuller reports. In the
meantime there seems to be a better feeling In
the spot market for loose Muscatel raisins and
rather more demand from consumers, though
sales are almost entirely of small lots We
heard to-day of a sale of car of two-crown
standard at 4 cents No further business in
Pacifcs was reported. California London layers
are dull. There are sellers at 81 but buyers
views do not seem TO be above So to 30 cents
It is generally believed that rather a large
stock of these goods, for which there is little
or no consuming demand. will be stemmed and
eventually disposed of as loose. Clusters are
not wanted and prices are nominal. valencia
LAYERS are dull. Sultanas receive little atten-
ton but holders do not seem to be inclined to
| make further concessions.

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE changes in
stock prices to May mixed. with losses
prevailing Tor the greater part of the day
stocks were under pressure, in part due to the
strength in the call money market, where o
per cent was recorded for some loans. although
most Of the business was at per cent.
London, while trading both ways, disposed
of more stock than it took. The selling of Man
haitian was attributed to the underwriting syn
dicate Of the issue of new stock. although
there was no means of ascertaining the real
source. The stock closed with a loss of nearly
2 points after an earlier extreme decline of 3%.
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf left OFF 4
points down in anticipation of possible heavy
assessment in the plan of reorganization. Amer
ican Steel and Wire dropped 34s. with smaller
svmpat hefic recession In Federal Steel issues.
There were fractional recessions, too, in North
ern Pacific, AtChison, the Readings and the
Rrangers Chicago Terminal stocks were bene-
fted by talk of a contract with Chicago and
Alton, while Colorado Southern up ru-
Tnors of negotiations with Union Pacific Amer
lean Tobacco rose 2 points, but Continental To-
bacco, now dealt in in the unlisted department,
made cornpared with the opening a net loss
OF rs for the common and for the preferred.
New York Air Brake jumped 10K points. Con-
hicting rumors regarding the probability OF the
success of certain legislation lent feverishness
TO Consolidated Gas, which, however, rose q
Metropolitan Street Railway. Peoples Gas and
Sugar gave some evidence of strength. A
slight recession in the strength of call money,
although it closed with transactions at 3AQ4
per cent, induced some covering in the after
noon. The closing tone was uncertain, with
prices below the best and above the worst.
The Government trade statistics showing an
excess of exports of nearly S34 600, 600, was not
altogether favorably received, because of the
imports exceeding any since March year ago.
while the exports showed a shrinkage of over
20 per cent compared with any of the preced-
ing four months

THE HAY MARKET.

The circular of Somers & Co., under date Of
the 14th. says of Hay:
The long expected movement with Hay has
come at last and, as have expressed our
selves previously, a start seemed to be all
that was required TO improve prices very ma
teriaIly. Stocks in town have been running
down for some little time past, for almost
every one has been looking for a further de-
cline in prices, and have therefore been some
what anxious to clean out so as to be prepared
TO stock up again at lower figures. No further
decline could be noted and receipts con-
tinue TO run rather light one dealer after an
other forced TO go on to the market 10
purchase 10 supply his trade. This demand.
coupled with the continued dry weather, created
somewhat Of a stir about Friday of last week,
and as soon as any activity could be noted on
the market one dealer after another became an
active bidder%on the market.
Until to-day crop prospects have been very
disCouragaing, and prices have been steadily
advancing As we write II Is raining and the
wind seems to be in the right direction LOT a
continuous downpour In PROOF OF our state
ment which we have often expressed, that the
San Francisco Hay market is not weather
market, we would state that to-day at our
regular auction held in the rain, SIS rs was bid
for choice Wheat Hay on several carloads
there being but nine carloads in all, total re-
ceipts for the day.
'iReports have come to US that many of the
dealers have been canvassing the country quite
thoroughly in their efforts to make purchases
which tends TO prove that they have confidence
IN the future OF the market. According to re-
ports that We have received. stocks are becom-
ing depleted throughout the state which TACT
is due more to home consumption than the de-
mands of the San Francisco market. A dry
spring will increase the demand throughout
the country which will leave less Hay 10 be
shipped here. in which event we may look for
higher prices than the existing range. unless
Oregon. Washington and other States have an
oversupply which they can ship here. This idea
Of foreign Hay shipments is a matter of con-
siderable uncertainty at the present time. From
reports received TO date and from prospects as
they appear 10 Us, are inclined TO believe
that the present range OF prices will at least

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 15.-CompIete summaries
of the amount of winter killed wheat in sew
eral States showed apparently very little war
rant for the sensational damage reports with
which the trade has recently been flooded and
caused the wheat market to open at a decline
of 9a6DIkc. At the decline several shorts saw a
convenient opportunity to cover and price ad-
vanced slowly TO 70zc. At this point, show
ever news was received from California of
the thorough breaking of the drought in that
State. That started the bears selling on a
large scale and increased the weakness with
which trading commenced. Reports of an i'm :.
provennent in the export demand at the sea-
board caused a rally near the end and May
hesitating at 69%G6s1ac, rose slowly TO 69zsc
