Dried Fruit in New York.
The New York Commercial says:
"There is a fair demand for all ' varieties
of dried fruHs, bui r.o orders are large. Th* !
outlook is encouraging, however, and holders
are confident that prices on all varieties will j
Improve with the advancing season. Stocks j
are not heavy for the season, but there seems
to be fume reluctance to buy in large quan
tities and speculative interest Is entirely want-
Ing. The feeling among holders is one of con
lidence, but there Is little attempt to force !
the mnrkiit by urging sides which might react I
and injure those who undertook such tactics. I
"The total pack of peaches Is placed at
1300 cars, against an estimate of 15W to 2000
cars made earlier in the season. Probably
not 200 cars are now left In first or second
hands. Everything is cleaned out on orders j
with eight -months' consumption ahead. By
the end of the year practically nothing will be ;
left. Prices are very tirm and trade is mod- !
erately active, but buyers show no inordinate >
dt-sire to load up.
"Prunes appear to be moving moderately
well on the coast, but if holders would meet I
li'.jyers' ■■■< better there would be more
business. The heavy carry over of lost sea- I
eon's goods' had a depressing effect all the I
year, but.lt Is understood that what are left
will soon be cared for and that the new crop I
will then have clear sailing. Large holders
are confident and show no disposition to urge
sales. Higher prices are looked for.
"Pailsins are steady, but the high price of
California goods is forcing handlers to take i
larger quantities of foreign varieties, par- j
ticularly the Malaga layers and Valenclaa, j
which can be laid down In this market s@Sc
under similar grades of California goods.
L r »ose Muscatels ire steady, but trading ap
pears to be rather lighter at present, con
sumptive wants seeming to have been satis
fied."

EASTERN MARKETS,
New York Stock Market.
NEW YORK. Nov. n._T>rices of stocks
traversed , lite a wide range during the day
throughout the list, but net changes are almost
fractions, and the majority on the side of
losses. Money market prospects continued the
dominant Influence In the trading. The events
of yesterday had turned nearly an the traders
on the bull side, and the market opened with
an upward move] In prices, which extend
ed to a large fraction on the avarage before
a reactionary tendency 'loped. Continued
buying by London helped on the advance and
there was special strength In a number of In
dividual stocks, notably In General Klectric
which rose an extreme four points on'rumors
of an extra dividend, and consolidated Gas
which .was up at one time five points on a
periodical rumor of a settlement of the local
gas war. There was a continuance of the
heavy absorption of Southern Pacific which
gave a healthy tone to the railroad llstl Profit
taking sale* In this stock were detected at an
early period of the trading and had not a little
to do with checking the general upward ten
dency. The decisive inlljenoo in turning prices
downward was the realization that yesterday's
easing of the money rate v.-a« due to a sporadic
supply of funds and not to any radical chance
In the condition of the money market. a large
portion of the funds loaned yesterday was at
tributed to a cash deposit by one of the rail
roads- for t'je purpose of taking up an old
underlying issue of bonds. This supply of
money had the effect of offsetting the calling
In pf loans .at the bank?, • made necessary by
the depletion 01 reserves and prevented the
stringency of the money market, which had
been feared. The effect was manifest to-day as
well ■'■ yesterday, the rate for call loans not
sroinK above 7 per cent and ruling generally
below that But the sterling exchange rate
showed a quick response to this easing of the
local money rate and moved an. additional
fraction upward away from the gold Import
point This caused a cessation or the talk of
immediate gold imports, on which was based
the upward movement of yesterday in stocks.
Thus the hope of relief by an upward move
[ ment of gold had to be abandoned for the time
being. In the meantime the absorption of
funds by the sub-treasury and the probable
continuance of demands from the Interior have
still to be reckoned with. Discouragement
overcame the operators /or a rise and they
proceeded to. sell out their holdings, wiping out
the rlter gains and carrying prices below last
, night's level.
Considerable speculative activity la diverted
to the cotton market, where the development
■ of a foreign demand indicates the relinquish
' ment by foreign buyers of their altitude of
j waiting for lower prices. As bearing on the
general money situation, it is Important to
note that advices from the South report money
in abundant supply there, po that planters
have been able to obtain accommodations tor
holding their cotton for higher prices. The
largely Increased supply of cotton bills in the
exchange market in the last few days with the
movement In cotton will naturally result in the
early release of fund? in the South and hasten
the return flow of money from that region.
Prices of bonds moved somewhat irregularly
In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par
value. $2,030,000. United States new fours and
fives advanced '•* In the bid price.

London Market.
NEW YORK. Nov. 14.— The Commercial Ad
vertiser's London financial cablegram says: '
The markets here were cheerful at the opening
to-day, but they weakened on fear of dearer
money. The County Council six months' bills
for £600.000 went high, averaging £4 Ss 7d pre- I
mlum. This with yesterday's fall in American
exchange caused consols to drop 3-10 to 10%.
Americans began strong, half a point above
parity. There was feverish buying until after
noon, when prices weakened on early sales
from New York, which then bought t-llghtlv,
but finally sold, making the close weak. The
strongest feature was Southern Pacific, due to
operations at the Speyer's. The range was
45-H to «4-', Spanish fours were 64%; Tlntos,

bills and the change settlement. No great
squeeze Is expected, as the market Is prepared.

Chicago Grain Market.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Reports of light domes
tic receipts were the only Items that bulls
could confront the bearish array of statistics
with at the opening of the wheat market to
day, the initial December G6V&Qj°GC?ti,
May 70te@70%— showed a loss from yesterday's
close of from He to %«. The chief factor in
the weakness was the prediction of an Argen
tine crop authority that prospects pointed to a
large Argentine crop. Harvesting of this crop
began last year on November 19, and the pre
diction, evidently not much in advance of the
beginning of harvesting, had immediate effect.
Liverpool, which had opened firm, declined and
closed weak. The market here rallied after
the opening on covering by shorts and buying
apalnst puts, December touching 66% c and May
7.. ■„.. On profit-taking December eased off to
f.G'&c and May to 70% c. An Impression that the
continuous liquidation of the aaßt few days
had resulted In an oversold market was ap
parently verified when shorts in greater num
ber again sought cover. ■ This was little apt to
be had at the low mark and prices steadied
December advanced to 67Hc and May to 71Hc
December ! closed ',ie over yesterday at 67% c
and May Vie to Vie higher, at 71>4!g'71*»c, both

WHEAT FREIGHTS— Spot freights are dull
but firm at about 36s 3d, and for vessels due
before January 1 full rates are paid. The
chartered wheat fleet In port has a registered
tonnage of 43.254. against 17,300 tons on the
saint- date last year; disengaged. OCOO tons,
against 27.200; on the way to this port. ]Bi,ooo
tonß. against 147.000.
WHEAT— Chicago opened at a further decline,
owing to bearish news and lower quotation!
from Liverpool and Paris. The weakness was
accentuated by fSradstreet's report <ot an In
crease of 7.000, c00 busbele In the world's visible
supply, nrcr.mhall reported a poor spot de
mand In England, and Goodwin predicted a
great Argentine crop.
The market wan active at the decline, how
ever, and later developed a better tone. The
Northwest receipts last week were only 800
cars, against 2000 for the same week last 'year,
and there was good cash buying, with New
York and St. Louis leading.
This market was strong In sympathy with
the later news frmn Chicago, and futures were
higher, as will be seen.
