CALIFORNIA PRUNEs IN THE EAST.

NEW YORK, May 2.-The Journal of Com

prunes usually expected at this time are be-

the growing districts are of the same purport.
The trade here is generally disposed to accept
these reports with good deal of allowance
for the natural desire of growers to start the
season with PRONUNCIATION of such features as

are a number of prominent handlers here who
while admitting that conditions governing
growing crops may not be so bad has been
published through the letters of interested
growers, are of opinion that there is good
ground for believing the crop will turn out to
be be considerably less than last year One
of these merchants to-day said he had little
doubt that the reported damage to the crop

respondents. He could not agree with some
of them that the present drop was due to the
recent warm weather, but was disposed to at
tribute it TO a loss of vitality in trees caused
by the prolonged drought last winter, which
killed many trees and undoubtedly had a
weakening effect upon the rest.
feature contributing to the strong feeling
among handlers of prunes here is the prospect
of large demand from Flu ope this year as
