BRADsTREET's ON TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say: The general business situation
is one of quiet strength while in industrial
lines activity continues unabated. The uni
versal testimony of damage to the winter
wheat crop has had surprisingly little effect
on prices yet, owing partly to improved
weather conditions strengthening the hopes of
a larger area in spring wheat and also to good
crop reports abroad and increased visible sup
plies, as compared with year ago encourage
ing foreign buyers in their neglect of American
offerings. An enlarged demand for this coun-
try's manufactured products in some degree
counterbalanced the falling off in the value OF
agricultural exports, notably cereals and cot

the month of March a drop of SIS 000, 600 in

CALIFORNIA PRUNEs IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. April 21.-The Journal of Com
merce says: The principal feature in the Cali
fornia prune market is renewed inquiry from
European exporters. The report that the
French crop has been seriously damaged by
late frosts coupled with the statement that
handlers in France have recalled stocks held
in England, Germany and elsewhere on the
Continent on commission has. it is stated.
caused European and English buyers to again
turn their attention to California goods. There
have already been sales made of several cars
to go to Germany and negotiations are said
to be pending for the purchase of a number
OF additional cars by exporters but the con-
oulsion of transactions has been delayed we
understand. owing to the difference in views
of buyers and sellers. There are said to be
other and quite numerous export Inquiries. but
In view of the comparatively small stocks on
SPOT no large business, ii is held is likely to
occur whether buyers finally come up to SELL
ers' prices or the latter agree to accept the
bids Of buyers.
The spot demand for California prunes is
fairly active but it is of hand-to-mouth char
acter and jobbers seem to be doing most of
the business and the market is somewhat un-
settled in consequence of the offerings of in
ferior rejected goods Large sizes of prunes
are reported to be in small supply, and there
is not much of the smaller fruit to be obtained

or on the coast.
