NEW YORK DRIED FRUIT MARKET. The New York Commercial, under date of October 11, says: "There la little perceptible difference as compared with previous conditions. All dried fruit men are willing- to admit that even though prices are held firm, trade is dull and demand much smaller than is usually expected at this season. "The raisin situation is not cleared at all. Buyers are holding off, waiting for the announcement of the association, and movement Is restricted in consequence.

There is gener- ally brisk in raisins at this season, but present circumstances prevent that, and the entire trade has assumed a waiting attitude. "Prunes are unchanged from last week. Large sizes are wanted, but large sizes are unobtainable. Buyers do not care to pay the price for small sizes, and holders prefer to keep their large ones to assist In moving the undesirable stocks. The result is restriction of movement, which shows little Indication of Increasing.

"Spot stocks of Valencia raisins are small, stocks to arrive are held at There Is some demand for old crop seeded, and prices have advanced to for 1-pound cartons, 3-crown are held firm at 7c. The first arrivals of new crop are expected about tha middle of the week. "The market is barely supplied with flgfc. Estimates of yield are being reduced, and from an early statement of 35.000 camel loads the figure is now down to about one-third that number, or one-sixth the yield for 1597. "Apricots and peaches remain in virtually i the same position as at last reports.

Stocks are small; prices are ftrm; buyers and hold- ers appear to be apart in their views. The I result is restricted trade and small movement, Some expert demand is noted, but no Import- ant sales reported." WEATHER REPORT. (120 th Pacific Time.) PAN FRANCISCO, October 18, IS9B, 6 p. m.

EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK. Oct. Prices of stocks drifted sluggishly and to all appearances aimlessly all through to-day's session.

The almost stagnant condition of the market was scarcely relieved by a single feature. Even the "trust" stocks fell into neglect after a long period of fluctuations. Tobacco was forced down at the opening on explicit announcements that the much-talked-of plug tobacco combination had once more fallen through. There was injected Into the dullest portion of the day's two successive transactions of 12,500 shares and 6000 shares respectively of Tobacco preferred at 115 "eeller 30. This represented a transaction of over and was supposed to show the disposal of company's treasury stock, application for the listing of which was made yesterday.

The common stock was rather feverish for a time aftsr this, but settled down into steadiness and neglect. There was an upturn In sugar aIBO during the day, which was explained by the news that certain grades of soft sugars had been advanced in price. Realizing subsequently wiped out practically all the advance. The railroad list held generally firm throughout the early part of the day, but subsequently eased off in sympathy with sugar and the Northern Pacifies. The dally attack on the coalers lacked vim and the decline only reached a point in New Jersey Central.

The traffic statement of St. Paul for the second week in October, showing an increase over last year' 3 earnings of nearly $140,000, is undoubtedly a pretty fair indication of what is going on In the grain-carrying roads. All reports agree that it is difficult to secure enough cars to meet the demand for the freight movement, both east and west bound. The speculatlva public apparently views these developments apathy. The same apathy existed to-day In all the security markets of the world, the pause in London being attributed to waiting for more settled political conditions and the completion of liquidation In Berlin.

The process of accumulating exchange here is going on from day to day and the banks continue to gain cash from the sub-treasury. The final allotment of Government 3s from Washington makes It probable that Government deposits in national banks will soon approach the $100,000,000 mark, after which the deficit In the revenues is expected to steadily diminish their account. Bonds were dull but firmly held to-day. Total sales, $1,345,000. T'nitPil States old 4s registered advanced United States old 4s coupon and the Es in the bid price.

Oct. An advance of tn wheat at Liverpool over night, the reported concentration of a large body of Russian troops accessible to Peking, In addition to reports from New York that there were forty-two boati loads of wheat engaged for export, stirred the opening market for wheat and made a strong and lively affair of it. The weather In the Northwest was an additional influence. It soon developed, however, that In the face of thl6. Influential people here were selling through brokers and commission firms.

Then came a denial of the export business at the seaboard and there were reports also that the exporting firms were undeniably taking profits jon long wheat. The actual export clearings not up to the usual high total and the primary market receipts Indicated that the big export business could be supplied and leave a surplus here besides. The early sales caused a drifting down of the price and December, which cpened higher, at declined to 65c. Bradstreet's report Indicated an 1 increase since two weeks ago of 4,737,000 bush; els In the world's visible supply, which was about 40 per cent of the amount expected and caused a recovery to c. Reports of serious i frost damage to wheat in Argentine gave the I market near the4close quite a little strength.

There was a considerable short interest and the shorts were rather uneasy about standing out over the Jubilee holiday to-morrow. Tradi ers generally In the last few minutes bought I wheat with such freedom that December waa advanced to and closed at buy! ers, an advance of over yesterday. 1 The strength developed by corn at the start was due largely to a sharp advance at Liverpool. The storms also promised to check the arrivals and gave the bulls a chance to operate with ciurage. There was considerable buying at the outset, but It was met with realizing later The close was for the day for December.
