A press dispatch from San Jose says that as the drying of Prunes has now progressed so far in the Santa Clara Valley that the size and quality of the crop can be determined’ the prices will be announced September 1. It has been a tedious walit for the grower and It is to be hoped that sufficiently remunerative rices will be established to compensate him Zfl' the delay. The dried fruit market is quieter and lacks the snap of a fortnight ago. There are two reasons for this. First, the best grades were tty well bought up in the recent lively buy- Jas ond for amail and lower grade oods these is not so much call: and second, the hot weath- er in the East is affecting the trade there. An increasing demand for Raisins Is reported from New York. Choice Honey is firm at full figures. Nuts are firm in all positions with a good demand.
