IN THE COMMERCIAL WORLD Navel Oranges Advance 15 Cents Per Box LOCAL PRODUCE QUOTATIONS The Bottom Almost Dropped Out oi the Butler Market *■"" ■ Eggs a Little Weaker—Whral does Higher at Chicago—The Genet al Market News Los Angeles, Feb, 27. The Fruit Exchange directors held their tisual Wednesday session and transacted some ousiness that will please the orange growers. The principal sub ect under consideration was the question of raising prices. After a pro longed discussion it was decided to advance choice snd fancy navels 15c a box. This will make the price of the former #1.90 and the alter $9.15. Fancy Florida fruit is now entirely opt of the market, and this has stimulated the de mand for California navels. In view of the extraordinary demand for navels, the ex changes feel justified in raising the p.lces, and tis an t cipaled that there will be no decrease in orders on account of the slight raise. The demand for seedlings docs not yet war rant an advance in prices. It' is not improba ble, though, that an advance will be made later in the season, as all signs point to an ex traordinary demand for all classes of fruit.

The arrival of two cargoes ol wh at at Xew York from Portland, Or., caused some temporary weakness, but other items of the early news of an opposite char acter gave the price a sharp upward turn. Cablegrams from Paris reported thai the mar ket was firm and advancing and the weather continuing unfavorable. Liverpool wired that the market there was strong because of a demand from France for off-coast cargoes, and ilie effect of that here was to raise the price of May rapidly froiu 53? fl to 54 r, B , the latter being a higher rate than has been reached before for a.mon th. The first trading was at front the effect ol the French cables quickly neutralized when New York dispatches arrived saying that the receivers of the bullish dispatches from France were sellers of wheat in New York. There were reports from country points in Missouri and Illinois enough to cheek the bullish enthusiasm, us they described the ap pearance of tiie wheat plant as it emerged from beneath the snow us being uninjured and healthy. A reaction to 54c followed the lat ter news. Receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were 330 cars against 420 a week ago, and 209 on the corresponding days of the year before. Primary market receipts, all told, were 479, --000 bushels; the export clearances of wheat and flour from Atlantic ports amounted to 326,000 bushels. The closing cahles began firm and the inquiry for wheat at the seaboard reported good: the market had begun to firm up agaiu in the afternoon. Corn was firm for five minutes or so in the morning, but ruled easier later and gave but flight response to the midday strength in wheat. Toward the close it was rather weak at about \4p decline and closed at yesterday's prices. May started at 45" vs? a c, sola " down to 45 1 8 and closed at 45\g@!4. Trading in the oat market was rather limited with a range of only in values. Fluetua lions followed thoss of corn very closely. May sold from 29 r :* to 29 and between these two prices all day. At the end lie higher was bid., '"'''v V S nrw^io> The provision market was in the main in clined to weakness and' closed' finally at de clines of ~!i c ou cork and 5u on lard and ribs.

Tide of Speculation In Wall Street. Financial Notes Los Angeles, Feb. 27. Henry Clews, in his weekly financial re view of February 33d i sizes up the monetary situation as f .Hows : Wall street is fairly taken by surprise at the stupendous success attending (he syndicate's negotiation of tbe new treasury loan. Two weeks ago all was in the gloom of utter uncer tainty as to whether tho treasury couid be kep. afloat or must sink from lack of rescue. Now the stilus of the public credit is elevatM) be fore the world by bids for ten limes the orufftlnt of offered, and by the fact that the major part of the subscription is made in Europe. This fact, isas remarkable for its revelation of the large amount of capital seeking employ ment as It is for its evidence of the still high standing of our national credit. The result so far exceeds all that Wall street has been antic ipating that it is taken by surprise by the sud den appearing of a new situation for which it has not been prepared, nnd the utilization of which it lias as yet no immediate plans. How ever, there can be no second opinion as to what all this portends. There is noplace for "bearing," and buying must henceforward be the order of speculation, backed by a large reinforcement of confidence in London and ou tha continent Indeed, we take it that the events of the past week will strike the keynote for a revival of confidence the world over, and for a general recovery of business thai has held in suspense for the last three tears. We may expect to witness at an early day the ef fects of trie- marshaling of men of capital for promoting a lively speculative campaign; but, during the interval of preparation by those leaders, the market may not show any espe ciallysLiiUiug changes. Bull speculation in Loudon in American se curities is likely, from all indications, to soon start up, and it will probably be as pronounced as it has been in the opposite direction since the Baring panic of November, 1890. The Rothschilds and other leading London bankers had a foreshadowing of the overloaded condi tion ofthe Baring firm, and, in anticipation of their c llapse, were quick to shift their load of Americans to this side; and there has been no time since then—now four and a half years — that the London attitude has been not only to discourage the buying oi American securities, but to encourage the selling of everihing American. Tiie foreign press has also been dead against our investments, and their at tacks have been of a most vigorous character. The immense subscription in London to the currant bond loan is an evidence that foreign ers have a higher estimation of the intrinsic wortli of United States government bonds than we have iv this country. The signal success in floating this loan cannot fail to lead the way to a revival of confidence in American rkllrogd securities which are now down to prices that should make them inviting, for speculative ventures ai least. The speculative spirstinall the European money centers is rampant, as we have indicated, from the African gold craze. The silver movement in the senate has come to an end, not only with outserious consequences but with significant symptons of its growing weakness which will afford an opportunity for other important measures to be called up, including the Pool ing bill, which, together with the appropria tion bills, will about fill up the short t me remaining of this wretched congress, the end ing of which will terminate, to a very large extenl, the suffering of almost every house hold throughout the land. It would certainly appear from all present indications that better times are at haad. To recapitulate, the things in sight to be considered in diagnosing the situation, are the following: The Pooling bill may yet pass this Congress. The adjournment of Congress now near at hand. The new crops will bring the benefits accru ing from a sheltering winter. Hie opening of the spring trade has every fair promise. The 9100.C000.000 gold reserve is made good. The London connection, under the lead of the Rothschilds, with the new government loan, again opens tiie door in London to Ameri can securities. The big profits that will be realized trom tho bond negotiation may be expected to encour age tiie buyingof other American securities on an important scale. The prospects, therefore, are quite good for a turn in the tide of Wall Street. IN WALL STREET Speculation Irregular and Business Light.

Sterling Exchange New York, Feb. 27.—The sterlingexchange market today showed a small volume of busi - ness. The tone was fairly firm at slightly lower rates. The inquiry was good, chiefly by for eign houses which have been sailors of the stocks in this market at London account. There has been an attempt to create the im pression that there is some danger of gold ex ports, owing to the fact that exchange is ap proaching the shipping point, but it has borne no fruit, as there is a firm belief that the bond syndicate has the market well in hand, Atchison Reorganization New York, Feb. 27.—The reorganization plan of the Atchison company provides for the issue of $102,000,000 common stock, $75. --000,000 preferred, $25,000,000 prior lien bonds, $150,000,000 general fours and $5,000, --000 adjustment fives.
