Dried Fruits, Raisins, Nuts and Hone

The market for fruits rules firm, with prices
York say:
The return Of seasonable weather has IN
creased the buying movement, which has been
good ever since election day. There is a consid-
cradle number OF orders for lots of moderate
size going out to the coast. which are In part
the result of enlargement of the consuming out
let, and partly due to the impending advances
of l0c hundred pounds in eastbound freight
rates from the coast. The higher rate becomes
effective January l. and during the interval IL Is
expected that eastern buyers will take advantage
Of the present rate to anticipate wants as far as
practicable
There is a stronger tone to the market FOR all
coast dried fruits the spot. as well as in
California apricots. which have been the most
advancing. because Of the cleaning up of avail
able supplies and continued demand from the
home and export trade.
Under the stimulus Of a better demand the
market for peaches Is hardening Spot prunes
are going quite freely into consumption at full
prices the demand being strongest for 4Os SOS
and Cos. The larger size is very scarce. partfcu-
larry in new frnit, and higher prices are conf
dently looked for. there is little stock of 4Os
to be had the coast.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Hutton' wire says:
Local cotton opened pas points higher, with
trade quite active during the early session. with
general buying, but on the advance long cotton
began to come out and the market was easy III
the later dealings. Receipts are somewhat light
er. but are yet running heavy. The trouble
with the market is, that believe there is
big long interest in it, nine odt of every ten
you meet are bullish on it, and it is this hang
ing over the market that holds it in check.
While doubt will see higher prices later
on, for the time being brokers favor sales about
cents for months
