able. New crop will not be along until next
month toward the last of this. Quotations
are around 61Rc for future delivery. and holders
show disposition to shade the figures.
''Apricots continue steady, with sales at

decline will follow the present strong situa-
ton, but holders are apparently equally GER
tain that quotations Will hold stiff at present
rates. There is little business as result OF
the divergence of views and one can tell
when the deadlock will be broken.
'Raisins attract some more attention than
they did last week at this time, but sales are
now rather more quiet. Seedlings and ungraded
varieties in most demand, and are held
firm. The outlook for business is encouraging,
and good sales expected. Reports concern
ing damage the growing crop are vague.
and as yet do not exert much influence If
there is any loss well informed dealers here
say that it will be largely on first crop. The
second crop will probably be safe and quite
up TO expectations"

been slack for several days, was, If possible.
even duller than yesterday, and the market
for the greater part of the session kept within
a range of sac. The weakness at the start was
