Mall reports from New York say: ' The market presented the usual Saturday a.pp«araDce of inactivity Still in one or two lines there was a considerable display of buy- Ing interest. Apricots are attracting a good deal of attention, particularly from exporters, and the market is strong and higher. The stock of rtaadard both here and on the coast is said to be 'entirely cleaned up, and stocks of choice and extra choice are running low. For choice »*ie is now said to be inside and extra choice is heli at 10@10%c as to quantity and seller. In addition to smaller transactions a sa'.e of about 3500 boxes, covering both grades, was reported at full -prices, which, It was under »«ood. virtually absorbed the holdings of one -d^f.ler. For Peaches there was a fair Jobbing c^n&nd at the previous quotations. There was a considerable demand from east side bayers fcr Oregon Prunes for shipment from the coast, the Inquiry being mainly fcr 30s. The latter Bppear to be growing very scarce in the pri ir.ary market, and bids of 2c f. o. b. bag basts have b*en. turned down, though In combina tions with i'« and 50s that price is acceptable. For 40-506 alone l%c basis is quoted. We heard of no business of consequence in Cali fornia Prunes, but the tteady tone of the spot market was retained. Offerings from the coast on a 2 J ic basis are still freely made. There ¦were no fresh developments In the Raisin situ ation.

Future Grain and Provisions. . • CHICAGO, Feb. 13.— wheat pit was affected more perhaps by the strong cash sit uation reported . from all ( quarters than by any other factor. -The demand was principally for the July delivery, the congested condition of the May option offering special inducements to the majority of traders. Wheat prices at Liverpool . and Paris were considerably higher than yesterday and the fact that these markets showed gains in the face of Increased ship ments from Australia and Argentina helped to lfstlll confidence into the minds of traders here. May opened }4©-%c to ; %@%c higher at '.">V'T'"' .;c, .while July was up »4@Vic at B>@BSV4c. There was an early advanoe to }<STs<gSi>c for July on an active general de mand, but the May option held about ¦ steady during the first hour. The leading long took advantage of the advance in the price of July and handed out a considerable line. Smaller traders followed, the lead and in consequence a break to SB^4c occurred. The downward trend of the July delivery affected May, forc ing the price down to i'"> ! ! I c. St. Louis houses covered a big line of July late in the session and the market responded to the improved de mand and prices again reached the top figures. Seme of the advance was lost on profit-taking, but the close was firm, with May at 96 Vie and July at" SSsic . The ixirn market was strong, but the vol ume of business was small owing to a lack or offerings. May closed at 54^c. July was 14994 c up, closing at 52% c. The feature of trade in oats was the heavy buying of both May and July deliveries by the leading bull houses. The close was prac tically at the top". July closed at 39% c and May at 44 He The provision market was weak early on general selling, due to liberal . receipts of..hogs and a decline of 10c In prices at- the yards.

'111 l Greatest Exporter of Domestic Prod «*cts — Only Three "Billion Dol lar" Countries. The United States again stands, at the close of the calendar year 1903, at the head of the list of world's exporting : nations, so far as relates to the expor tation of domestic products. Thj» fact is shown by a series of tables just pre sented by the Government Bureau tt Statistics. There ar c only three "billion dollar ! countries," considered from the stand point of exportation at domestic prod ucts, and they are. in order of the mag i nitude of their exports, the United l States, the United Kingdom and many. In the calendar year 1903 the exports of domestic products were: , From the United States. $1,547.565, 753 1 in value, and from the United King dom. $1,415,617,552. From Germany the figures for the full year have not been received, but an examination of the fig ures of the year for which statistics are available justifies an estimate of J1.2W. 00,000. It Is only within recent years that th- United States has taken its place at the head of the list of the world's great exporters of domestic products. In 1375 the exports I mestic products by the world's great exporting nations were as foilows: I'nited Kingdom $1.0«7.497.fV<> France Ormany 5Ki. 052.000 United States 497. In 1885 the domestic exports of these four countries stood as follows: I'nited Kingdom $I.<W Germany 680. M1. w0 I'nited States France 596,000,'HH) In 1»95 the domestic exports of the four countries were as follows: United Kingdom $1.1 no. 452 'TOO United States Germany 7«» n France In 1903 the relative rank of the four countries in the exportation of domes tic products was as follows: United States $1,437. M8, 7*l United Kingdom 1.41.'. liermany i<») 1.200. 000. i*m France ib) M 2. ia> Nine month* flgtir<-9 and estimate for closing quarter of the year. tb) Eleven months flgures and estimate for last month of the year. It will be seen from a study of the above tables that the United States in 1875 stood at the bottom of the I : the four great exporting nations of the ¦ world; that at the end of the next dec ; ade it had advanced one place; a dec 1 ade later still another place, and ie 1903 stood at the head of the list as th« world's greatest exporter of domesti* products. — Brooklyn Eagle. Animal Sympathy. The devoted love of the brute ap plies to humbler objects than man. A cat and dog- used to be very good friends in a well-known country house. Onlookers regrarded the cat as selfish, as caring only for the dog because ha would fetch and carry for her, and let her have the choicest place on th« hearthrug. The dog died. The cat refused all food and left the house. It was found upon the dog's f^-ave and brought back to the house. No per suasion could get it away. Kind friends built a little penthouse ovei the grave, and there the cat lay until, very soon, it, too, died. In anothei house were a cat and dog whose rela tions were of the unfriendliest descrip tion. The cat had kittens which wer« taken from her and drowned. Sh« grieved terribly over her loss. The dog appeared to understand her grief, ceased to torment and chase her; and. instead, did all he could to displaj sympathy. At length as the bereav«sj mother appeared inconsolable, tot bounded out of the house, sought dIX igently in the garden, found the gray« of the kittens, scratched it open with his strong paws, and returned la tri umph to the house bearing one of th< slaughtered innocents in his mouth.— St. James Gazette.
