Feb. 28.—To-day's stock market on dealings in excess of a million shares was extremely erratic, and the net results showed prices about even between the bulls and the basrs. The most significant losses were made in sugar and the granger group, Burlington . figuring for 3%. The leaders In the other col- ~umn were Tobacco, the Minneapolis and St. Louis shares and Third Avenue. The market was strong, with a considerable demand for forelgn account, London taking fully 60,000 shares, over half of which were the Atchisons. Plenty of selling orders appeared and prices receded from the opening figures, in some cases sharply. A rally ended with Tobacco, the oalers and the grangers. Tobacco's strength | ‘was accompanied by the announcement that | settlement With the opposition concern was im- | minent, which involved a consolidation of in- | erests. The actlon of the Burlington directors “on the refunding scheme not fulfilling expec- tations entertained in some quarters resulted 0 a sharp break in that property, which was “accompanied by a simultaneous break in’ sugar. A report was circulated widely that a large issue of new Government bonds was impend. ing, and this attended a sharp raid. The infor- mation was said to have been recelved In & private disvatch, but no confirmation was ob- tainabl Tobacco fluctuations on the various reports were very sensational. It opened up 7 points at 178 and slid off to 172, rallied to 179, and closed at 155%. One intersretation of the deal reported was that the rival company, Union Tobacco,” was to be transferred to the Continental Company, which is owned by. the American Tobacco ~ Company. Metropolitan, - after dropping 4 points from the opening. ral- ' lied 5%, and closed a point off, while Third .Avenue lost half of an S-point rise. Consoli- dated Gas worked up 4% and then suffered a decided break. Minneapolis and St. Louls ghot up about 7 points and the second preferred € points on rumors that the directors might retire the company's first preferred. Special strength was shown by American Steel, gain- ing 3 points when the general list was crumbl- ing. This was due to glowing reports of the company’s business, which emanated from parties connected with the property. Sugar was supported in the early dealings. The coalers averaged 5 points up, with Jersey Central ex- ceptlonally, jumping 3% on renewed reports of progress toward regulating the coal trade. The market closed irregular, with a weak under- . tone. The bond market displayed a marked degree of strength, which was not influenced by the block in stock prices untl the close, when some -fssues vielded in sympathy. Total sales, $,550,- 000.

DRIED FRUITS, NUTS AND RATSINS. Apprehensions regarding the Peach and Apri- cot crops this year are being felt, as last year's drought affected the fruit buds. The New York Raisin market is thus reported by mall ‘“‘Raisins are quiet. Demand is limited to small orders from local or near-by dlstrib- utors. On the coast a light demand ls re- ported and movement is limited to a few cars Paclfics have been in most demand but the supply is practically exhausted, eve thing remaining being in the hands of spes lators. Layers meet no demand, and the pros- pect is that 40,000 to 50,000 boxes will be made fnto loose of some grade. There are more than 40 cars of Sultans heid by the association at 4lac f. 0. b., which the trade refuses to consider.

The re: ported engagements of coal carriers from Syd- ney and Newecastle for San Franclsco, number thirty-six, with a capacity to carry 9.000 tons; of these twelve are already afloat. Australian fuel s in very light eupply here, as every cargo that arrives fiofls direct to the consumer, hence there is but little here in yard. At this time in 1888 there were fifty-two vessels listed for coal from Australia for here, showing a marked ehrinkege in shipments this year. If we had our usual rainfall to date, insuring an average harvest, we would have had equally as gener- ous a loading list as last year, but for the mo- ment shipowners prudently avold our port, as, fearing a light harvest, they will not send coal-laden vessels here seeking outward busi- nese. A coplous rainfall within the next twenty days would materially alter our present situa- tlon. We are in no danger of a fuel famine, our coast collieries can readily supply ali our requirements. Of course, with no foreign competition, they will probably establish a higher schedule of values. Large consumers have not been liberal buyers for future deliv- ery, as they have been anticipating generous hipments of foreign coals. The present out- look is rather disappointing.’ SUGAR—The Western Sugar Refining Com- any quotes terms net cash: Cube, Crushed and Fine Crushed, 6%c; Powdered, 6%c: Candy Granulated, 5%c; Dry Granulated, 5%c; Con- fectioners' ‘A, 5%c; California A, 5%c: Magno- la A, 5%c; Extra C, 5%c; Golden C, b%c; half barrels, %e more than barrels, and boxes o more.
