English Salmon Market. The London Grocers' Gagzette of January 18 ®ys of the salmon trade: “‘Renewed activity ias been experienced in the salmon market this week, all descriptions being inquired for. The dtuation has been helped. by the fixing of fresh prices. of the 1901 pack, now on the way © this country, by the British Columbia Pack- ws' Assoctation. These prices, though below Ze scale previously fixed by the assoflation, wre about equal to the rates ruling for spot soods, and the result will probably be that a iteady demand will prevail, as there will thus se 1o discrepancy between the prices ruling for sew and old season’s goods. In Liverpool the lemand during the week has'been good, and in riew of the resuit of the meeting of the Fraser River combination, prices have advanced 6d to \s per case. Half-pounds are in specially good nquiry, and Alaska has also participated in De demand.’ Dried Fruits in New York. Mail reports from New York say: “Raisins form the center of interest in this lepartment, although no important business is soted for either spot or forward delivery. The market for both loose and seeded since the wnnouncement of the mew Coast basis has been irregular, with quotations on the latter showing a ‘wide range &s to quality and holder. There are sellers of choice at §}c and fancy At S%c in 160z cartons, but most holders juote fully 3c above these figures for spot, and there is & decided disinclination shown to Goods held here show a fair cases &t the inside figures, but the fact that the eost to replace them is™now | sonsiderably above the higher values disposes ihe trade toward a-conservative selling policy. We hear of no purchases for forward delivery o buyers here on the new Coast basis. putside interest on the Coast has fixed a sell- ng basis, the same said to be 73c for choice weeded in 16-oz. cartons. This, however, can- 20t be confirmed at the moment. In loose rai- sins 3-crown is held by most holders at 6%c i 6%c for spot.

New York Stock Market. | NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—The stock market showed considerable animation to-day and. dealings were much better distributed -than: for some time past. There were stocks which hupg back and some which fell away on profit- taking after recent considefable advances, but the general tome of the market was Strong. There wak a feeling that the improved condi- tions were due to some development not gen- erally known and the professional traders, who in fact did not know what they were, were among the largest buyers on the supposition that others who did know were ‘in the market with them. These surmises had to do to a largé extent with possible developments in the suit against the Northern Securities Company. Con- fident expressions were heard, but on anony- mous authority, that the decision of the Su- preme Court was made up against the admis- sion of the suit to argument. The supposi- tion also found expression that the projectors of the great merger have an alternative plan to fall back on in case of the declared illegal- ity of the present company. It is argued that a foreign corporation might hold the securi- ties of the United States corporations and be outside the jurisdiction of the United States law. The reported formation of a leasing com- pany to control Metropolitan Street Rallway on a guaramtee of the dividend was not of much benefit to that stock, but the evidence thus given. of continued planning on the part of capi- tal toward development was an influence toward speculatio. A social gathering of millionaires in Philadelphia was also made much of, espe- cially as men rated as antagonistic were re- ported 1o be present on affable termhs. The im- portance attached to such unsubstantial con- | Jectures indicated the continued predominance | of professional operations in the market. The traders also e much of the reduction in the discount rate of the Bank of England as promising 4 relaxation of the pressure upon New York for gold. Of the day's movements in detail, Southern Pacific was largely in the | hands of the same speculative interest which has been dealing in it recently, and the move- ment in Pennsylvania was also attributed to this operator. The Vanderbilts as a group, were all strong, Lake Eric and Western prefer- red showing a gain of 6 points. United States | Express made a further advance of 7% and Third Avenue gained 7%. Profit-taking made the closing somewhet irregular, but the inroads upon prices were not extensiv The bond market was active and broad and showed general advances. Total sales, par value, $4,655,000, saCnited; States 85 declined % per cent on the | 'NEW YORK STOCK LIST. High.

The Potato market continues firm, although the high prices have somewhat checked the demand. Supplies are light and receipts from Oregon show effects of the frost. There is a firm movement in seed. Potatoes and River Burbanks made a slight advance. One car of Sweet Potatoes came in from Merced, and owing to the abundance of these goods prices declined sharply. One car of Onions came in from Nevada and were offering at $3 per ctl, with few buyers. Although receipts of Southern Vegetables were more liberal than usual offerings were hardly sufficient for local requirements and the market cleaned up at higher prices for all descriptions. The steamer due last had large supplies for to-day’s market. ida Tomatoes and Peppers are offering at $I@5 per crate, POTATOES—$1 10@1 35 for Burbanks from the river; Salinas Valley Burbanks, $1 50G@ 1 75; Oregon Burbanks, $1 26@1 656: Oregon Gnrne: Chiles, $1 40@1 50; River Reds, $1 50@ 1 60; Early Rose, for seed, $1 1 60; small Burbanks, for seed, $1 35@1 45; Sweets, $1 30 @1 40 for Merced.

The Poultry market was firm under light re- celpts and a strong demand for all kinds of fowl from for the Chinese New .Year festivi- ties. One more car of Hastern came in, mak- ing the fifth received this week. Dressed Tur- keys were plentiful and sold well at steady prices. Fancy Hens were scarce and in de- mand and some strictly famcy stock sold over the quotations. Receipts of Game were moderate and most kinds Sold readily.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. On the Exchange Egss were slapped down 2%4c to 20c without much ceremony, and dealers all along the street reported the market weak and quiet, in spite of the comparatively light stocks. The situation in a nutshell is that at this time of the year the market is apt to break sharply at a day’s notice, as the output from the ranches runs up very fast during the late winter and early spring months, and dealers dread being caught with lirge lines on their floors. Hence the disposition is to give the fu- ture a liberal discount. Again, shipping orders are small and receipts are much larger than a fortnight ago, while there are already signs of an accumulation in stocks. . The feeling in Cheese Is reported steadler, though there is plenty on the market. Buiter shows no change. Stocks are moder- ate and the market is in very fair shape for sellers, though a decline is expected along any lay. - Receipts were 28,000 pounds, 14 tubs end 1 keg of Butter, pounds of Eastern Butter, 966 cases of Eggs, —— cases of Eastern Dggs, 28,000 pounds of California Cheese, — pounds of Oreaon Cheese and —— pounds of Eastern BUTTER—Crenmory 27%@28c per 1b for fancy, 27c for firsts and dairy, 17%@25c: store Butter, CHEES] America, EGGS.—Ranch, 21g22c for selected large and 16@20c for good 'to choice; store, *Dc per dozen.

No serious decline is anticipated, but it is conceded on all sides that the raduc- tion In prices is justified and In keeping with the poor condition of the Hides now being re- ceived. Sound Salted Hides are eagerly sought after and prices on them are well maintained. Dry Hides are in exceptionally good demand. Horse Hides are much sought after.
