California fruits continue to move oft stead- {ly into consumption, and prices are well main- tained, says the London Grocers' Gazette of May 2. For the 159 pack some amount of business has been done at high prices; pack- ers generally are at present, however, disin- olined to_make firm offers. The only shi ment of Fraser River salmon to London this season has arrived this week, the Celtic Race bringing 80,088 cases, of which a considerable proportion has been sold to arrive. The mar- ket remains in h the same comdition as reported during the past few weeks, buyers and sellers continuing to hold aloof. ED FRUITS IN NEW YORK. CAY Ma{l advices from New York say: “Trade in California canned goods continues heavy, even though prices were withdrawn some time ago and no new quotations have been given out. There are many conflicting stories regarding the combination of packers on the coast, but aside from the preliminary deals nothing has been arranged as yet, and, according to the best informatfon obtainablé, nothink will hed before fall. The discussion has « effect on the market, but probably does not imit eales in any degres.” COINAGE OF THB MINT.

NEW YORK, June 3.—Testerday's sharp up- turn In prices had the effect of encouraging the formation of & bull party In the stock market, and they made it suffictently ob- vious at the opening of the trading and even before that they had fixed upon the stocks of new steel combinations and a few other industrial epeclalties ©s the most promising fleld for operations. Tips were disseminated through inspired sources and by pub- lication of coming dividend declarations on several of these properttes and thelr prices were bid up in an unosten- tatious way at the opening. There was not the expected enthusiasm, however, In sup- porting prices, either by the outside demand or by the professional traders. The higher level of prices invited profit-taking by some of the buyers of yesterday, end the advance came to a standstill. There was a hardening of prices on covering by shorts in expectation of favorable bank statement. But the statement was, on the contrary, unfavorable, and the pains which had been established by the bull were quickly marked out. -There was ¢ little liquidation induced by the decline, the closing was quiet and somewbat ir- in tone and hiowed net losses In the ular fority of cases, The holiday in London ived the ket of what has been source of strength in the last few days. Wes Unlon, Brooklyn Transit and Sugar showed cviden e weakness, and In the rail Pacific and the coal- ers were Fractional galns were ret tocks, early ad- vances not being entl wiped out in the iron and steel group. The bank statement was surprise. as It was expected that the lqui ian in the stock n a contraction of i nariet would have result; ns and a decrease in de- posit Mabiliti Instead of thls there was a small increase fn loans ‘he decr in cash was expected, and was cue to the engagement of gold for export and s to the banks Ly reason of the small of revenue returns over Government ex- ures which is now the rule.

Provably the. most nfluential fac- tor in:determining the bear attack. was the abandonment of the purpose to ain the prices of the new Amalgamated Copper stock at or above var. The $15,000,000 of stocks of his organization was iargely oversubscribed at par and the payment of subscriptions was com- pleted a_week axo Monday. The subscribers were understocd to include ‘some of the most powerfu try and the new tocl: was supported at or above par all last week in face of a very languid public demand When the price was ally D to & on Wednesday and Thursday in the outside market it was interpreted to mean that the powerful backers were not disposed to combat the reac- tionary tendency in prices for the present. interests in the cour be | | Fortifled by acqulescence on the part of the element which bad frustrated previous attempts to force down prices, the powerful bear purty proceeded to work thelr will with no important prosition.

Among the ca contributing _to the break were showings of reduced net earnings for April by the St. Paul, Burlington, Northern Pacific and Union Puacific systems, for which subsequent plausible explunations were of- fered, but which were on their face evidence of + decrcase In the sums available for distribu- tion among the stockbold There was a hardening tendency foresh: n outward mov &old, which came in the announcement after banking hours on ‘Thu ay of an enga nent of $1,000,060 for shipment to Europe. The fact that this engage- ment was made after an easing of the rate for sterling_exchange led some exchange bankers to question whether the operation could yleld a profit an ordinary transaction. The f that it was made by the institution that financed the Amalgamated Copper Com- the payment of the Philippines ¢ may serve as an explanation. The rpose was to provide for the payment -to Spain, so as to avoid the export of goid, and sutficlent amount of foreign exchange was ted to cover the amount due to Spain, © that the gold (or-certiticates of gold) could be transferred from the sub-treasury in New York to the banking institution. It was ob- viously a corellary of the plan to set off for- ¢ign obligations to the bank, including pre- sumably toreign “subscriptions to the new cop- r comnpa to make up the foreign credits cd over to the Government. But the opera- ns seem to have induced a plethoric condi- | n in the local money market and a_hardeting tendency in the London money market, which were not covnted upon, and which made the outward movement of gold necessary to restore the balunce. The relief to the London money market_gave strength to the stock market | thy which epread to Americans and was re- | flected back upon the New York stock market. | This, with the fall in wheat, the subsidence of | the yellow fever scare and good prospects in | the coal carriers, led to good recoveries.

ASSOCTATED BANKS' STATEMENT. ¢ NEW YORK, June 3.—The Financler says: The changes in the statement of the Assotlated banks of New York for the week ending June 3 are almost trivial compared with the heavy fluctuations of the past few weeks. It would eem that the culmination of a number of im- portant matters had at last been passed, leav- ing the banks only to report routine operations of a comparatively dull week. The two holi- days, coupled with the comparative quietness in stock exchange for the reiZainder of the week, are reflected In the slight changes in the loan ‘item, but the gain, small as it is, possi- bly indicates that the period of heaviest liqui- dation is over. If this is true there is reason to believe that some use will be found for he accumulation of surplus funds at this center and that rates may be maintained at something like a reasonable figure, although no advance of any significance is anticipated. The banks lost in cash during the week, according to the statement, $1,134,000, all of which was in specte, Operations with the treasury are known to have | unchanged at 76%@ Wh June. Sept.-Dec. Opening ... 20 40 20 70 Closing 20 40 20 70 | Flour— Opening 4365 2 45 | Closing 4365 245 resulted in a decrease about as stated, but no account has been made of a much heavier galn from the interior, and the real facts are that the reserve is heavier than is to be in- ferred from the statement. Deposits remain almost stationary, %o that the Teserve reduction is due entirely to the loss in cash. The ship- ment of $1,000,000 in gold to Europe .does not figure in the averages, This incident had no ect whatever on the money market, as the transection is understood to have been of a special nature, It is doubtful If gold In any quantity will go abroad this summer. Cer- tainly if the loans of the banks begin to in- crease, exports will be checked uniess there arises in domestic and foreign markets a situ- ation that now appears improbable. The banks ought to continue to gain from the interior for some time to come. The July disbursements will be unusually heavy this vear and as thoere 16 nothing that will entail an unusual demand on the banks it appears that fluctuations in the money rate will depend sclely on a revival of speculative activity, which now is regarded as certain. \ NEW YORK GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, June 3.—The sentiment among wheat traders at the opening was rather bear- ish owing to heavy Northwest receipts, poor shipping demand and weak outside markets. The tide soon turned, however, on covering, influenced by confirmatory reports of damage by drought in the Black Sea territory.

Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour equaled 256,000 bushels. The world's ship- ments for the week to Europe were estimated &t 7,600,000 bushels.
