bushels less than last year. Another factor
that strengthened the market was the raising
by Spain of the duty on wheat. The main fea

shipping points were 40 coops. unusually
large amount for Monday. general feeling Of
hrrness prevailed in all lines. although buying

readily obtained for all kinds.

Deciduou. and Citru. Fruits

Liberal offerings and keen competition among
importers. who were cutting prices to effect
sales; caused another decline of 81 per barrel in
Cranberries yesterday. With stocks heavy and
retailers still limiting their operations to the
hllinz of small orders for local routine wants:
the market for domestic fruits was dull and
price changes were few and unnportant. Navel
Oranges and fancy Apples were held at hrm hg-
ures. while Pears and Persmmons were largely
nominal there being very few Offering and very
little inquiry. Ripe Bananas were still scarce.
but there was not sufficient business to warrant
any advance in prices
