Dried Fruits I'm New York

Late mail advices from New York say of dried
fruits
The week closed with better tone to
the market for California dried fruits than has
existed for many months past The improvement
is attributed TO the steady consuming demand,
which, during the last several weeks, has
been quietly absorbing supplies According TO
some reports the business done In spot goods
and those due TO arrive or to be shipped by
all water routes to obtain the advantage of
comparatively low freight rates has been heavy.
Some of the larger factors in the trade declare
that within the last 20 days the movement of
stock from packer to jobber has been OF scale
that has hardly been equaled in past seasons
at the same time. Thus, while there is big
quantity of goods coming forward by water II is
said 10 N3e already uhder contract for delivery
10 eastern and export buyers TO A very large
extent. and It's arrival will have depressing
effect upoH the market, which is just beginning
to recover from the effects Of prolonged period
Of trade depression. The tendency TO improve
ment In business. began about 20 days ago
and has since made decided progress. 1t is said
to have resulted in cleanup Of a good deal
Of the cheap stock that has been the most de-
pressing influence in the spot market. In the
opinion Of leading receivers there has been
no time since the panic of 1907 when there
was such pronounced and sustained trend
toward permanent betterment Of conditions at
. PRUNEs. PEACHES AND APRICoTs
1T is learned that there have been large
sales of prunes for shipment by water from
the coast, and that there has been sensible
increase in the demand for peaches on spot and
TO arrive, taking many cars Of both varieties
out of the market to go directly into consump-
ton when they get here. The apricot situation
is strong. the coast supply being the point
OF exhaustion, while stocks the way or in
store here reported TO be light. With all
OF the business that has been done lately there
has yet been material improvement in
spot forward prices. 1t much because
holders were willing TO make concessions be-
cause buyers ready TO take in goods that
the movement attained TO the proportions indi-
Gated But there is now tendency toward bet
ter prices. and II the demand continues. it is
expected 10 do, some advance in quotations may
be reasonably expected. The east side jobbers.
who are said to be negotiating a corner in Ore
gOn Italian prunes, are demanding sc for 30s
aud &c as inside for 40S. They are said to have
the situation we'll in hand and have absorbed
the bulk Of the stock in the hands of coast
packers and that which has been carried by
west side commission firms.
California raisins move very slowly into con
sumption. The growers who have been making
direct sales to east side wine makers seem TO
have withdrawn from the market. 1t is un-
derstood that they succeeded in placing be-
tween % and 80 cars in the east but the
prices they accepted could not be learned

New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK. March I.-Hutton $ wire says:
Cotton dull today. The weather map failed
TO show rains in Texas. and unofficial reports
showed only trace to- less than one tenth Of
an inch. While the situation regarding the
winter rainfall In Texas is bulish. it apnears
TO have been pretty well Offset by bad trade ac-
counts particularly from the continent Pri-
yate advices today state that the latest account
OF the stock of cotton at Savannah shows it to
have been 10000 bales less than have been re-
ported
Early cables are dull and featureless The
feeling of the local crowd is growing more
bearish. The south continues TO sell cotton
Trade is not improving and. in fact is getting
worse At the moment traders see nothing
bulish in the situation.
