Dried Ffnat in Ne7v York.

The New York Commercial says:
The increased interest in dried fruits
tinues, and negotiations are in progress look
ing toward heavy sales in the near future
There is no qIotable change in prices. but there
is frmer feeling on everything except
peaches. Dealers begin 10 expect a revival of
business, which viii partially compensate for
the dullness that has characterized trade for
the past few weeks.
THE prune situation is improving and prices
on Santa Claras tend upward though so far
al known no actual advance has occurred,
compared with opening prices. The decision
OF the growers not to sell below a specified fig
ure holds prices at about the opening price 1t
is a fact, however, that some sales have been
made as low 2i2c for outside goods. and con-
siderable blocks are reported to have gone out

Peaches are the only variety of dried fruit
which neglected. No one wants to buy
under present conditions and holders are
forced to urge sales to do much from first
hands. It is said that peaches have been sold
in the interior of California for 4jac, but the
range generally quoted is 5l2G6c. A few sell
