Three cars of Poultry in from the East. Dried Fruit in New York. Mail reports from New York say: “Conditions in the dried fruit trade are very quiet, business being almost entirely of a hand- to-mouth character. Prunes are not at all plentiful, but with the light demand, the mar- ket is barely steady. The very small sizes, from 100s up, are in a fairly good request from jobbers at our quotations. This size is in light supply et the moment. There are a number of lots of very poor stuff of all sizes on the market, holders seiling at almost anything they can get. California raisins are dull in & job- bing way. Seeded are in fair demand from the consumptive trade. Imported Valencia raisin are meeting good request from the Canadian trade, some sized lots selling from 4%4@5% in bond. Hulo-| wi and Khadrawi dates are dull and easy. There is a little demand for Sairs, which are quoted at 2ic. Figs meet with a steady small request. Low grades are most wanted. Cur- rants are firm, but actual business is not ex- tensive, the trade generally not being anxious to buy at the advance. Low grade peaches con- tinue in some demand, sales being reported at 5@5%c in bags. Evaporated apples are firmer but quiet. Hold- ers ask 5kc for prime, with buyers still bid- ding 4%c. Chops ave guiet. Waste is quite ac- tive and is higher. Sales of several cars are reported at $1. Something of a feature of the consumptive trade in Gried fruits is a consider- ably more active demand for apples, due un- questionably to the late season for fresh fruits.” Weather Report.

London was an active seller during the day.

NEW YORK, May 2.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The attendance at the stock exchange here to-day was small and prices were inclined to droop, owing more to neglect than to any pressure to sell. Americans were still dis- turbed, pending an authoritative announce- ment_concerning the settilement of the North- ern Pacific The - consideration of ; in of that stock un- s announcement served the resumption of i1 the 10th of June. | Trade was quiet, | to increase confidence here and the New York demand for Eries caused a feeling of quite cheerfulness. The strength of the Erle lssues brought out talk that the Pennsylvania coal purchase, the buying of the Leyland steam- ships and the development of the Erie system are all parts of one transaction connected | with the great coal trust which is sald to have been formed for importing American coal to urope.

July opened un- changed to Yc lower at 73%@73%c, touched 78%c and then reacted to 73%@73%c during the first half-hour of bear activity. Reports of fly damages from the North Central States and repetitions of German claims of deterioration of both rye and wheat, combined with a good demand for spot, caused covering by shorts under which July during the next half-hour rallied to 73%@74c. Long wheat was for sale at this advance and as the market began to show an easier tone the bear party resumed operations and forced July back to 72%c. Here the market steadied on the export sales, re- Pufl!d at sixty-six loads, and the close was %c ower at 73igc. The feature of operations in the corn pit was the llquidation by Phillips of 8,600,000 bushels of May corn, belleved to be the last of the heavy line accumulated during his manipula- tion ‘of the market. This was sold between the high pree, 47%4c and 43c. At one time the July, Beptember and May corn were all quoted at one price, July was weakened by heavy re- ceipts, lower cables, the decline In May and fine growing weather. July closed %c lower at 4dyc. May closed 4%c down at 44iec. Oats were fairly active, but steady when the corn weakness and the good weather are con- sidered. July closed #@%c lower at 28%@ Wxe. Provisions opened firm and held steady for a time, but eased off in sympathy with corn. July pork and lard each closed 5c lower and ribs a shade higher.

NEW YORK, May 23.—The speculative move- ment in tin in London continues to predominate, On an urgent demand at that point to-day values were run up until they reached a level above the close of last night, with the market reported as excited and still tending upward, At the close spot was quoted at £130 and f tures at £129 10s.

Liquidation of long wheat caused an advance In the morning, and there was considerable short selling. Ship- ping business was disappointing.
