The London Grocers' Gazette of Januery & says of salmon and fruits: Salmon—The market has opened with a fair amount of animetion, and a good busines is Jooked forward to during the coming season. Values are stea Frults—In Californian fruits, according to & circular issued by Messrs. Anderson and Celtman, there i a very striking deficiency in the shipments this season to this country, the quantity now on the water being only t 000 cases, ¢ these 131,000 cases now a siderable proportion will be of special brands and grades Dried Fruits in New York. Mail zdvices from New York say: Improved inquiry from interior markets has induced a stronger feeling among holders of currants, and while no advance at the | moment is noted the situation presents Strons features portending higher values on the finer sorts. Wires received to-day from interior jobbers contain inquiries for considerable round lots, both for spot and to arrive, and while no important transactions have culminated so far | ae can be learned, there is no disposition shown to meet buyers' ideas below the guo- tations. In raisins at the moment California Joose and seeded show a fair interest, with phices firm. We can hear of no sellers of seeded under Sc for choice and 8c for fancy. Some holders ask up to 8%c for fancy in car- tons. We hear of no large purchases on the gpot, the late speculative buying having had a tendency to induce caution among sellers. Stocks here are believed to be largely con- centrated. Coast advices indicate that the differences between the Big Five and the as sociation are still unsettled, but it is inti- mated a private wire that the Big Five T8¢ for choice and St for fancy In imported Valencia layer t is firm at 73%c, with some | quoting 7%c.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—There was no return of apimation to the stock market to-day and the bulk of the small operations was confined | 10 @ short list of stocks, which advanced quite | strongly from the influence of special causes. | Even in these the dominant professional ele- | ment was evident in the selling to take profits | on the advance. There was a movement in ! of the sea- ‘Thursday California. southward California Hijgh southeast vicinity—Cloudy unset- with ~showers; fresh the Vanderbilte which was apparently stim- | uiated by assertions that part of the new stock jssue of the New York Central was to be | exchanged for that of Cleveland, Cincinnati, | Chieago and St. Louis, but the movemefit spent | its force in the course of the day. St Law- rence and Adirondack was marked up over 4 points apparently on the expectation that it would be taken over by the New York Cen- tral. The recent strength of the traction stocks, Jed by Metropolitan Street Railway, continued for & time to-day, but the whole group suc- cumbed to realizing. Sugar succeeded to the | leadership of the market and late in the day was advanced 3% points over last night's close, An sdvance of 10 points in the price of the product and reports of an agreement at T ashington looking to the free entry of Cuban TaW Sugar were accountable for that movement, The mews that agreement has been reached between Western railroads and packing-house ! interests to maintain rates, thus relieving the objectionable conditions against which the in- | quiry by the Interstate Commerce Commission | ir directed, had a stimulating effect on the | | eJelolelelole} Pact grangers and Southwesterns.

Aml][ululed Copper showed some strength on the growth of foreign demand for raw copper. There are a plethora of money of capital. To-day" of England's discount growing symptoms of all of the great centers eduction in the Bank rate was contrary to expectation as large collections of taxes were expected to deplete the London money market at this time and it was thought to be necessary 0 keep up the money rate in order to prevent withdrawals of French capital. To-day's state- ment of the Bank of France shows such an ac- cumulation there as to to call home capital, offer little inducement but Berlin seems the center of greatest redundancy, as is shown by the fact that Berlin has been buying bills in the London money market and easl: the dis- count rate there, while in the very act of | subscribing sixty times Government loans of $75, over for the proffered ,000,000, all of which has not prevented a ‘decline in discount rates at that center. There is a continued accumu- lation of money in New York also, but with- out the stimulating effect on speculation which is manifest at other great money centers. A remarkable development in the situation here is the fact that very large time loans running into the millions of dollars are being nego- tiated at interior domestic points for New York account. There was continued actlvity among usually quiet bonds and some striking gains were re- corded, but the market generally was irregular.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: Notwithstanding the reductions of the dis- count rate of the Bank of England from 4 to 334 per cent, ihe market was less active, with realizing sales in home rails, the dividends proving_disappointing. The Ceylon loan was covered five times over and the list was closed in three hours. Rio Tintos sold at 423 on American buying, and copper at 48%. American shares were lifeless and dealers migrated to Kaffirs. The monetary situation was not affected by the action in ‘bank rates and revenue collections are licking up surplus supplies.

CHICAGO, Jan 23.—All speculative markets were weak, but the extreme weakness was in coarse grains, corn leading in the depression. The initial incentive was the extremely bear- ish talk about the bottom being out of the Kansas City cash market vesterday. May corn started 34c down to 7k down at 63%@ 63 There was an almost entire absence of buying orders, cables were weak and reportsy mentioned a corn and ostn blockade of cars at Kansas City. St. Louis turned a p inent seller of corn and’losal bears staried I o pound out the holdings of a prominent long professional. May broke to 62%c, but at such A price covering was profitable. There were reports also of some corn being worked to Germany and traders taking into coneideration the small estimates of 60 cars for to-morrow brought a half-hearted ~reaction. .May sold back to 63%c, but closed weak, 1%c lower, at O ¥fieat was naturally weak on the corn de- pression, but éverything else was against the price, sentiment, news and general conditions. Btatisticians’ reports indicated a good crop condition and favorable weather. Cables were Sdgety and fnally closed lower. Foreign re- forecasted good crops in Russia and Poain. “Outsids markets were lower at the start and May opened 3¢ down at T9}c to 79%c. When_corn broke May wheat followed and sank to 78%c. Reports of a good e: demand caused a slight reaction, but the close was weak, c lower, at T9%@79%ec. In line with the stampede In corn there was a general selling of oats and a strong attempt ‘was_made to raid one holder, who is long so much that he is supposed to control the mar- ket. No oats came from his quarter, how- ever. May closed weak, lc down, at 45%c.

The weak opening was due to disappointing cables, weakness of coarse gralns and the heavy selling of local traders. Later on the recovery was due to good export sales at the seaboard and reports of insufficient moisture in the Southwest. ‘Wires from Chicago to Bolton, De Ruyter & Co. sald: “‘There was heavy llQuldn(lwn in Wheat ‘and Oats, the Southwest selling heav- 1ly. The Cincinnati Price Current reported tfe condition of the winter Wheat crop fair, but the Southwest sent in contrary advices.

Receipts of Potatoes are light at present and prices are well sustained under a strong local demand. Seed Potatoes were in demand owing to the rain and Early Rose made a sharp advance. One car of Swests came in. Onions are plentitul and the quotations are unchanged. Receipts of Los Angeles Vegetables were hardly sufficient for local requirements and all descriptions cleaned up readily. Peas, Beans and Tomatoes were higher.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. Business was slack all around yesterday. The heavy storm in the forenoon checked trade con- siderably, and the large offerings of Eggs en- hanced the weakness. Dealers say that both Butter and Eggs must go lower before any shipping trade can be developed, and without it stocks will continue to accumulate. There was no. further decline in anything, however, but the feeling was depressed all around. Receipts were 31,700 pounds, 15 tubs and cubes of Butter, —— pounds of Eastern But- ter, 791 cases of Eggs, —— cases of Eastern Eggs, 20,150 pounds of California Cheese, — pounds of Oregon Cheese and —— pounds of Eastern Cheese, UTT] 1b tor 23¢ dairy, 17 A un Bu(ler, 14@16c _pe: Crearmery Tub, 20c; Pickled Roll, 18@19¢; Keg, 16@18c per 1lb.
