The San Francisco Fruit Exchange, through its | president, Frank Dalton, has issued the following circular to growers and packers of evaporated ap- ples: Atarecent meeting of the San Francisco Fruit Exchange the merits of California evaporated ap- ples were compared to those of Esstern manufac- ture and it was unanimously agreed that the methods employed in California were such_as to make our article inferior to | the Eastern and, therefore, less . | The difference is jcaused 0 4 great extent use of waterin_packing.

Tt is & well-known fact that less than 50 per cent ©f the apples packed in California are consumed on the coast, while the balance is sold in the terri- tories tributary to San Francisco, and principally in the State of Texas, the humidity of whose atmosphere demands & dry pack. In Southern points our apples come in compe;ition with those packed in New York, Michigan, Missouri, Arkansas and other States east of the Missouri River. These apples are thoroughly dried and packed in that condition, so that they are suitable for shipment to any climate. This, however, does not apply to California apples, the majority of which are put | P not with regara to keeping qualities, but rather With a view 0 produce as many pounds as possible to the ton when ready for marketing. As a result, 8 box of evaporaied apples sold at 50 pounds net usually contains from 3 to 5 pounds of water, It can easily be seen that this policy is & very short-sighted One, a8 an article_put up in such a manner cannot possibly keep in the extreme cli- mate of Texes and other Southern points, and It is, therefore, sure to prejudice the consumier sooner or later ‘against the California product. In addi- tion, the packer should not lose sight of the fact that our apples do mot realize from 1lcto 2c per pound of the price they would bring If they were packed perfectly dry. This Las been shown very plainly during the last season by merchants gener- ally who have been buying apples in this market, and have become so utterly diszusted that a com. Plete reform on the part of packers is necessary in order to induce their further purchasing at any Jrice. The claim that the fruit cannot be packed n boxes without the use of water 1s easily contra- dicted by referring to the Eastern dryers who pack their apples perfectly dry, but who use larger boxes than in California, Packing with water has resulted in great 10ss to both packer and dealer, and especlally has this been the case this season, s number of 16ts having spoiled while In possession of dealers who pur: chased them in good faith. In order to hold the business already in hand and regain that_lost by ihe present meihod of packing, the San Francisce houses dealing in evaporated apples have agreed— and the agreement will be strictly adhered to—not 'y apples during the coming season which have been packed with water. Another point to which we wish to call your at- tention is the matter of packing short weight. This has been practiced to such an extent that last sea- son some lots were marketed which were packed 2 t0 3 pounds shori. Notbing Is gained by this, as in almost every instance buyers will carefully tare boxes before paying for the purchase. NEW YORK MARKETS. NEW YORK. N. Y., May 24.—The improvement nthe stock market continued in to-dey’s trans- actions and a higher range of values was estab- lished. Speculation was mainly confined to the local traders, the foreigners being entirely out of the market. The volume of business was moder- ate. The market opened firm with advances of s@Ya per cent, the latter in Minneapolis and St. vis. Distilling, an_exception, receded 1 per cent. General Electric was also pressed by a prominent bear operator and broke 134 per cent. A few other shares sympathized fractionally, but ihe general market made gains. Sugar wentup 134 and the Grangers 5@/ per cent. ‘About 1:30 a bear demonstration was mede #gainst the grangers, with a report that at the June meeting of the Northwest directors the dividend | would be made 114 per cent, making the rate for the year 4 per cent.

Although the Liverpool wheat market opened 24 lower than it closed yesterday and it had rained in Kansas during the night, the market_here opened with some buyers willing to pay 79c for July wheat. Not many buyers. however, paid thai. The great majority were willing to sell at 7834¢, or the same ax it was worth at the close of yesterday’s session, and some even pressed some-wheat for sale which had a g0od profit in it at 7814c. A great deal of wheat was wanted at from 78%ac up 10 78%c and before the early buying orders which succeeded the opening break could be all filled the price rose again to 79c. Ior about fifteen or twenty minutes the price heaved up and down in irregular swells and depressions between 78%sC and 79¢ and then came & crash. Corn commenced to tumble, and when it had broken to Jac below the price it had closed at ves- terday, then wheat had a sympathetic spasm and collapsed suddenly to 77V4c. The reviving influ- ence of fresh buylng orders was aguin applied and before many minutes it had again recovered to 79340, ‘I'he firsi downward plunge was due to the lower cables, sales by longs and the execution of stop loss orders. On the next turn it declined to 7834c, and then kept wobbling lazily for an hour or more between 7814c and 79c. The volume of trading was very much reduced as compared with the tre- mendous bulk of business done every day for ten days back. There were considerable intervals dur- ing which there was actual dullness in the pit, but At Do time was there an entire absence of nervous watchfulness that kept the pit filled with brokers all alert for contingencies. The reports from the South concerning the Grops of the States 0f Indiana and Illinois were woeful in their monotonous reiteration of destruction. In zddition to these States, Ohio, Kentucky and Mis- souri joined the doleful chorus, and even the Nor(hwest had some complaints to send about un- favorable weaiher for spring wheat. The market began to weaken very much after the noon hour, and long wheat kept coming out in heavy chunks from that time up to the close. That resulted in a Tapid and heavy drop in the price. There were mercial and spinners’ stocks, would give the world a year and & QUArter to consume more American goods than it has ever consumed in & year and & half.

Corn—The market again suffered from heavy re- celpts and favorable outlook for the next crop. A #0od demand from the seaboard resulted in the sale for export of 260,000 bushels which sustained the price early In the day, but in the afternoon weak- ness of wheat and fine weather were the most fluential factors in the end, and & considerable de- cline resulted.

Y., May 24.—Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: The moderate reaction In the stock market last week and this week, caused pri- marily by frosts and reports of severe damage to cereal crops. was tollowed only in part by a corre- sponding check to the movement in general trade. Not one of the larger grain States confirms the re- ports of severe damage towheat and corn with which the exchanges have abounded, and there is less reason to believe in the extent of it as cur- Tently reported. The most bullish feature in the wheat situation lies in the announced restriction of Argentine and Russian exports, reduced export ability of nearly all leading - producers and shorter supplies of importing countries, Few belleve that wheat has touched its highest point on this wave, although it is 25¢ per bushel ahove the Jowest since the panic. Kxports of wheat from the United States, both coasts, and Montreal this week amount to 2,764,000 bushels, against 2,397,000 bushels last week; 2,310,000 bushels in the third week of May, 1894 3.108,000 bushels in the third week of 1893; 2,280,000 bush- in the year before that and_as compared with 45,000 bushels exported in 1891, week's record of advances are as conspicu- ous as ever, and include hides, shoes, leather, Bes- pigiron, steel biliets, nails, bar iron, copper, zinc, wheat, Indian corn, oats, pork, lard, Hour, coffée, cotton, naval stores, potatoes, poultry and butter, twenty-two in all. The ' tone ‘of the iron and steel markets is the strongest since the depression of 1893-94. Woolen manufacturers are working on old orders, and some refuse 1o stock up with raw materlal, as prices at the interior are above a parity with those at the seaboard. Western views are (hat manufocturers | may be short of supplies to meet fall contracts. Thé immense advance in petroleum prices has so far failed to induce any large increase in the well output, thus pointing to approaching exhaustion of subteranean siores of this product in the Appa- luchian region. Consumption is still lighter than production. DUN’S REVIEW OF TRADE, NEW YORK, N. Y., May 24.—R.G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade, which issues to-morrow, will say: If wheat has been so greatly injured by the snows and frosts in May that the sudden rise of 12c in two weeks is justified, the calamity will affect all business prospects. The markets do not believe it. for stocks do not collapse, iron, leather and hides still rise, and no holder of wheat would sell at 80c, & Jower price than had been known at this season for thirty years prior to 1893, if current reports were credited. Some injury has undoubtedly been sustained, but our own dis- patches do not show that it IS’ really serlous. The temper is 1o buy regardless of possible require- ments, in the falth that prices are sure to rive.. ‘Wesiern receipts for three weeks have been larger than last year in spite of storms and- frosts. But the rise has practically stopped buying for ex- port, thefas simllar rise did in April, 1894, which was followed with sbout the lowest price then ever known. Whether grain has been greatly injured or not, foreign markets will take occasion to fortify themselves from other sources. The week’s sales here have amounted to 155,000,000 bushels, and accounts of damage by frosts and insects are §0 mixed up that some traders think the bugs must WA OVEICOALS. Corn rose 3%;¢ during the week, though much of the corn killed may be replanted. Pork rose boc per barrel, lard 5¢ per 100 pounds and oats 2c.

PRODUCE MARKET. WHEAT ANDL’K"HEE GRAINS, WHEAT—The Langdale takes for Cork 68,227 ctls, valued at $61,404. The usual rumor about the syndicate Wheat floated about yesterdsy. It was to the effect that the holders of it were no longer anxions 1o get rid of it In view of the rise 1n prices, and that they had now come to the conclusion to hold it for a couple of months until ships would probably be in better supply and Wheat consequently higher. We give these daily rumors for what they are worth.
