THE RAISIN OUTLOOK. NEW YORK, Jan. 8L—The Journal of Com- merce gays: It is said by a number of local distributors that the Raisin Growers' Assoclation has been a success 50 far as it has shown its abllity to maintain prices, yet there seems a good deal of dissatisfaction expressed in Fastern trade with the methods employed by that organiza- tion, the chief of which appears to be that there was 80 much of ungraded goods sold at a compratively low price that it prevented the holders of graded stock disposing of their ere small, | E00ds as freely or as at full prices as they Americans | thought they should. As a large percentage of loose muscatel raisins mow go into con- sumption in seeded form, the fact of there rades loose, is said to have thrown the bulk of the trade of seeders lately to the Pacific as being chedper and apparently in seeded form as_acceptable to consumers as graded goods. The best trade, however, has always discriminated between the two, with the result that while seeded stock prepared from xraded raisins has found a .good outlet and loose graded muscatels have sold well, un- graded or Pacific, on account of comparatively low prices, has curtailed consumption of the former to A considerable extent. Some specula- | tion as to whether the association will be able to maintain Its position for another season or not in view of the antagonism to its methods developed in Eastern markets during the past few months is being Indulged in.
