The circular of the Cutting Packing Company says of the fruit outlook: CANNEDFRUITS—W hile the apricot crop has been greatly damaged in localities, we are led to be- lieve from special reports from agents all over the Btate that the total ontput will quite equal that of 1895. This is attributable to a number of causes, and we think it can be relied upon. Asthe market for both canned and dried during the past year has been exceedingly dull and values constantly lessening, we see 10 reason why the_opening price should be above the average for 1895 goods, which must of necessity, however, be higher thanthe prices rullng at present. There has been but little demand during the past month and the carry-over is doubiless about the same as at the date of our . but this does not alter the fact that no supplies can be bronght for new pack below higher figures than those ruiing for the average crop of 184 CHERRIES—ATe 8lmost a total failure: pack will be limited of both biack and white, and prices will likely open at fully 50 per cent above those ruling in 1895 and go higher still. There is absolutely no carry-over of either black or white. Although there was a heavy damage to pesches in larze orchards in many sections, especially in the Sacramentp and San Joaquin Vaileys, and a lighter crop than the average is indicated in South- ern California, there will still be & good average crop in the State, and as the market for dried is con- siaerably below that realized for any stock used for canning for several years, there seems to be no good reason why canning stock should be heldat a high figure for 1896, and we think the opening prices will not be far from those of 1895, and there should be an ample supply of good quality for all reauirements. PEARS—ATe 8 Very uncertain crop at the best in all seasons, and the wmonth of Juneis a critical one for the crop, it not being safe to count on them before the first of July. Ifall the pearson the trees mature there will be one of the heaviest outputs known for years, but this is extremely doubtful. Under all the circumstances we think the crop will be heavi rihan in 1895, and conse- quently prices will depend largely upon the East- ern demand_for shipping green. We do not see, however, why prices for canned will be much, if ¥, above those of 1895. Conirary to our previous information plums have been severely damaged by frost and snow, and do not 1ook in nearly as good condition- as & month ago, and we advise that prices will be ad- vauced over 1895. They certainly cannot be lower under the most favorable circumstances, and if there is any change it must be in the di- rection of an advance, As awhole the crop in the State looks more fa- vorable than it did a month ago, and we think, aside trom Cherries. there is & great improvement over what we anticipated, and that there may be no fear of what should be truthfully termed a ort crop.” At the same time we are sure there will be something of & boom among growers and shippers. While the guantity of Green Fruit used for canning purposes is a very small percentage of the entire crop, the localities from which it can best be secured for canning are not those where the factories are numerou ners have to pa, more than if the large orchards r immediate vicinity. Again, canners quire a large proportion of fine quality, > to pay a correspondingly high price. therefore need not look as & whole for any red ion in previously expressed ideas of values of futures. TOMATOES—Are practically cleaned up, there being none left in first hands and but very light stocks in joboers. At the same time there Is no advance in values, but rather a reduction, and the market Is realiy in favor of buyers. The crop iooks much betier than & month_since, and we see Do occasion for any fear concerning its quantity or quality. and consequently can- EXPORI OF WINE, Exports of Wine from this port in April were 1,804,320 gallons, against 1,360,200 galions in April, 1895. For the first four months of the year they were 6,552,650 gallons, against 5,739,150 g: lons during the same time in 1585. The shipments this year ‘show a value of $2,491,209, againi $2,217,671 for the same time last year. O ciem —(D "PARTLY @ cLouny . ®ray; e Explanation. arrow fiies with the wind.

ALEXANDER G. MCADIR, Local Forecast Officlal. NEW YORK MARKETS. Financial. NEW YORR, N. Y., May 27.—There was a close spproach to absolute staghation at the Stock Exchange to-day. Total sales footed up the meager sum of 65,100 shares. At intervals bust- ness came to a standstill nearly, the sales between 1 and 1:30 o'clock amounting toonly 1000 shares. The Indisposition to make & new venture is still due to the uncertaiuty regarding the standing of theleading candidate for the Presidential nomina- tion and the fear of hostile legisiation by the Sen- ate in the matter of Government bond Issues, On the other hand the continnance of the gold export movement and the low prices of farm products caused s little liquidation in certain securities. There was no outside business to speak of and the operations for foreign account cut no figure fn the dealings. The cbanges except in rare in- stances were confined to very narrow limits. General Electric scored the greatest variation among the usvally active stocks, and fell from 353 to 333 on the announcement of the Or- ganization of the Walker Company with & capital of $5,000,000 to manufacture electrical appliances. Tiinoils Central sold at 9214 Against 97 last previously reported transaction. The decline was ascribed t0 lack of demand rather than o any material alteration in the condition of the property. Reading and Missouri Pacific were somewhat lower on poor traflic statements, but the loss in either case was slight. Sugar rauged between 1227, @124, closing at 128, while Tobacco ranged between 6414@6714. Distillers was without sale. Just near the close Sugar developed a bit of ac- tivity and the traders sold the raiiway list. As a result speculation closed barely steady in tone. Net changes show losses of 15@1%g per cent. Bonds were quiet and easier. ‘The sales footed up $843,000. Hocking Valley consol fives fell 54 to B4ly: Kansas and Texas seconds, 53 to 59; Missouri Pacific consolidated sixes, 114 to 8814, Tn Government ponds $30,000 coupon fours of 1925 brought 116%3 and $2500 coupon fours of 1807, 110.

CHICAGO, Irr, May 27.—Less disposition to depress wheat prices was observed this morning, the heavy declines of the past few days having the effect of Inducing a more conservative sttitude on the present bears, many of whom took oppor- tunity to cover whep the market was at its weak- est. Liverpool cables after the three days’ recess came with but 1d decline,which did not adequately correspond with the American loss for the same period. That fact tended to steady the tone here, prices ovening siightly easler than they closed yes- terday, but very shortly rallying a little. The weather was all ihat could be desired for the crops and other conditions continued adverse to im- provement in values. Receipts in the Northwest were 262 cars, agalnst 238 last Wednesday and 238 a year ago. Chi received 10 cars and inspected out 166,167 bushels. Bradsireets gave a decrease in the world’s visible supply of 4,797,000 bushels, im- mediately subsequent to the announcement of which there was some steadiness, but in less than thirty minutes afterward prices broke sharoly on all.around selling, St. Louls leading the movement. Export clearances were 204,643 bushels. Closing continental cables were all lower. July wheat opened from 5934 to 59%4c, 80ld between 5954@ 593 and 583x@584c, cioding at SMEE@I8I4c, 8¢ lower than vesterday. Estimated receipts for to-morrow, 18 cars. CORN-—The movement of corn from the coun- try was good this morning. 520 cars arriving at Chie This was depressing to prices, and caused an easy opening, but whea: displaying s better tone reversed the direction of the market and caused a firmer feeling. The trade was local, few if any outside orders coming to hand. Liver- Pool cables were 14d lower. Withdrawals from store amounted to 228,710 bushels. When the break in wheat toox piace during the last hour corn declined in sympathy. Bradstreets reported # decrease of 1,517,000 bushels in the avallable supply. Export clearances ted 242,525 bushels. July corn cpened at 28ijec, sold be- tween 2855@2534c and 25%pc, closing at 28340, c under yesterday. Estimated re- celpis for to-morrow 577 cars. OATS—Were influenced solely by wheat and corn. Less of weakness was consequently ap- arent early, and shorts were inclined to buy con. siderable. Teceipts were liberal at 519 cars, and 89,500 bushels were withdrawn from store. Ex- Pport ciearances were 153,510 bushels. The late weakness in wheat and cornwas promptly re. sponded to by oats. Bradsireets reported an in- crease in_stocks of 808.000 bushels. July oats closed unchanged from yesterday. Estimated re- B —Was eany. , Yg0; July, 83c; September, 14c. Receipta wore 16 cars.

The Impression thai this article is entitled to more consideration has taken possession of the minds of traders and led to some buying. Pork and ribs, however, continueto display an cntire absence of strength, The hog market was weaker. Toward the ciose moderate buying by shorts raliled all around. July pork and lard ench closed 215@ 8c higher, and July ribs 234c higher. BUTTER—The market was firm with a good de- mand to-day. Dealers were talking higher prices for iater in the week.

O’Neill of Philadelphia tossed overboard from the steamship Stuttgart a bottle containg a re- quest for the finder to return it to him at his address in Philadelphia, offering a re- ward of $5. Tuesday Mr, O'Neill was sdbmewhat surprised to get his paper back. On the other side several lines were scrawled, bearing the signature of John George Lovell and dated March 13, 1896, Ballyoughtra, west of Kerry, Ireland. Lovell wrote that he had found the bottle while cutting seaweed among the rocks. The epistle concluded as follows: “T must tell you when I found this that there was half a.glass of water in the bottle, which made the Paper Damp as you will See your self by this and Vebry hard to write on it and as to the Five Dollars itsnot in theac- count of them I am returning this sheet, although I Could not be Poorer than what Iamand as hard working.” THE CALL CALENDAR., May, 1898. ‘r; 18 |19 | 24 (25| 28 16 23 | First Quarter| May 19, May 13.| OCEAN STEAMERS, Dates of Departure ¥From San Francisco.
