BUTTER Weak but no lower. MEATS Receipts of mutton creasing. The citrus fruit situation in California Is unusually interesting at this time on account of the. recent organization in Los Angeles of the Citrus Protective League, an organisation composed of fruit men throughout Southern California, to secure better freight rates on shipment of citrus fruits by growers. The factions controlling the citrus fruit in. duotry of Southern California are the Califor nia Fruitgrowers Exchange, handling about 60 per cent of the total crop; California Citrus Union, about 20 per cent, and the in dependent brokers and shippers, about 30 per 'cent. It is estimated that the crop this year will be less than last year. The figures of con servative operators place the crop this reason at 25.000 cars, against 29,682 laet year, which includes oranges and lemons. The orange crop the first of this reason was not so very good, the fruit being small as a rule and not so highly flavored as that of laet year, but during the later months the fruit 4s looking much better and has ripened well, with a flavor that is exceptionally fine. The present market conditions and future prospects Indicate unprecedented profits to orange-growers. Reports from all parts of the country show an unusual combination v)f circumstances in favor of the citrus industry. The orange crop 1 lighter than theaverage. and there was a light apple harvest In the Eat last year. The demand for oranges Is increased by the shortage of other fruit, and the supply is reduced below the normal. quantity and prices arc going up. The net cash returns to the California grow ers will average at this time from ?G50 to $S00 per car, with lots of the fruit bringing $1000 a car: this, too, with the highest-priced fruit yetto go forward. Commission men of San Francisco, according to the California Fruit Grower, express con siderable dissatisfaction in regard to the Cali fornia Auction Company's method of conduct ing its orange auctions. In fact, the state ment is freely made that the auction is no auc tion at all. but merely a farce in which those on the outside have no chance .for fair play. Says the Fruit Grower: It is charged that there is no chance for open bidding, 1.. Scatna & Co.. who are- to All Intents and purposes the auction company, putting up the fruit and buying it in them selves if they wish it or if the price bid by others is not high enough to suit them. It is said that they have "cappers" present at every auction, who bid agatntt themselves and their competitors In order to run the price up. Another charge, made is that if an outsider does succeed in outbidding the members of the auction company, he is by no means sure of getting the goods. ORANGjES PLENTIFUL BUT CLEAN UP. No General Selling- .Agreement on IT or In Strawberries. Four cars of oranges arrived yesterday and were practically all sold on arrival. Two or three are 'due today, and there will be plenty next week, but no decrease in the de mand is looked for until strawberries come. The first arrivals of the latter on Front street are expected in a few day. The quefctlon of maintaining a steady price on Florin berries this season lias been taken up by the local trade, but no agreement has been reached. One of the Jobbers proposes to secure his supplies from Independent growers, whll the others will buy from the Florin As sociation, and it is likely that, unless some understanding Is reached, the market will be Irregular. One car of bananas was received yesterday. Three are due 'Monday morning. A mixed car of cabbage and cauliflower ar rived. The scarcity of .cabbage keeps up. and high prices are assured for some time to come. The crop around San Francisco is nearly ex hausted, and buyers will soon have to go to the Piacentla district for Wlnnlngstadts. which will sell for 3 cents. The first new Early York cabbage will arrive from San Francisco Mon day in a car of mixed small vegetables under ice. . Oregon vegetables are reaching the market more freely. Rhubarb is becoming plentiful, and has cut out the California product. As paragus, hothouse lettuce wind green onions are also in better supply. Some- Oregon cauli flower is coming along, that ha been growing nil "Winter. The freeze cut it down, but it has since revived. Local radishes will be in in a week. STRONG DEMAND FOR POULTRY. All Varieties Sell at Good Prices Ergs Hold Firm. The demand for poultry was exceedingly brisk yesterday, and the receipts were far from being adequate. Spring chickens were especially asked for, and were quoted at 2541 27 Vi cents, when of sufficient size. Hens sold at 14 to 144 cents, and ducks were in excel lent demand at 17 to IS cents. There was a fair inquiry for geese at S to 10 cents. Hen turkeys were strong at 17 to IS cents alive and 21 to 224 cents dressed wht-n fat. Gob blers were not wanted. The egg market continued firm and active. The general quotation was 17 cents, though some business was done at 17H cents. The imp rest Ion prevailed that the .coming week will see lower prices. The weekly price current of a Front-street house said: At present the egg market is very active, but we believe the top has been reached, and we would not be surprised to see the market go off a cent within the next week. Another firm's market letter said: The egg market firm up to 17 cents today, but stock semes to be coming in quite freely, and .we do not look for further advances. In deed, it may prove that the advance was caused by Increased buying for Easter trade only, and that prices will not be maintained. Butter moved slowly, with more business wo 2u cents tnan at tne nigner quotation. POTATOES ARE TTKMER. Mrifpera' Opinion Differ ar to Tatars e-f Market. Potatos continue firm for fancy grades, and lerwer cratfe ar In tetter desiiad. Shipper express contrary opinions oa the future of the market, some bellerinjr the improvement will continue to the end. while others predict a. slump In two or three weeks, declaring that the farmers will be forced by country mer chants to market the big stock of poor potatoes that is left. The Chicago Packer's advices from Kansas City, dated April 7, say of the situation there: The market for table potatoes held firm this week at about 68 to 70 cents per bushel for choice Northern Burbanks. There was a bulge in the price on Colorado. Rurals sell ing up to 75 to-2 cents. Late In the week some dealers reported freer offerings from the North, which Jed them to believe that prices would ease off next week, provided conditions were favorable for a. good movement. The market continued active, however, and dealers have had difficulty In getting sufficient tup plies to fill orders. Onions are firm at San Francisco. Late ar rivals have been larger, and sale on the dock are reported at J 1.10 to JL45: Dressed Meats Held Firm. Receipts of veal have been unusually heavy this week, but the demand was strong and took up ail the offerings at full prices. There is no probability of a further drop in the best grades. Mutton is coming along mere Hberally, but prices are jilil obtained on the best. Re ceipts of lambs are alsoMncrcastng. and they .arc expected to eventually bring down the price of mutton. The pork supply Is Inade quate and the market continues strong. Rank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern, cities yeiderdsy were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

Receipts of New Potatoes Rapidly Increasing Short Sapply of Asparagus Orange Quiet. BAN FRAXCI6CO. April IX. (Special.) The market was very atrong today on fancy old potatoes and onions. Four carloads of the former and one of the latter were at hand from Oregon. Medium and lower xradea of these products were quite steady, owing to the scarcity and dramcsa of fancy stock. Re ceipts of new potatoes were 204 aeka, and. there was a liberal carry-over, the market ftlll had a declining tendency, though trade was fairly active. Fancy Oregon Bsrbanks sold up to $1.25. The arrivals or arparagus mere barely 1200 boxes, including1 a portion to the order of rannera. and this light supply, coupled with & good trade demand, caused a sharp advance in prices. The tupply of oranges was ampin and the market was quiet. The apple market main tained a firm tone, erpecialiy for fancy four tier Newtown Pippins, which occasionally u3d at $2.25 per box. A new feature of the market today was the arrival of 14 taxes of green almonds, the tot of the season, from Martinez. The cuts were not well matured, and were alow of sale at 50c per box. Trade In grain futures was very quiet, ow ing to th Good Friday holiday. Receipts of dairy products were 76,400 pounds of butter. 30.800 pounds of cheese, anl 78.100 dozen egg. Fancy creamery butur was firm at 20 cents, and selected eggs sold at 20 cents a dozen, with the market a trifle weaker than yesterday. VEGETABLES Cucumbers.

VOLUME OF DEALING SMALL Easier Tone of Money Market Gives lilsc to Fccllnjc of Confidence of Restoration of Sarplus In Reserves. NEW TORK. April 13. Today's stock mar ket was sot much more than aomlnaL The departure from custom In keeping- the stock exchange open on Good Friday was not al lowed to Interfere with the holiday of many me-nber. who left the Wall street district last night to remain away until next Monday. The dealings were left In the hands of the habltuat traders. The exchanges for comtnodltle were all closed, aa were the foreign stock markets, the latter to be closed until 'next Tuesday. Under theae circBnuttancea. there was no dis position to take any Important steps In the market. The holding of the session was de signed. In fact, almost exclusively to arrange outatandlng call loans, which carry over until Monday. This arrangement of loans waa con cluded at an early hour, and waa followed by the departure of many brokers. leaving the market In a condition of practical stagnation. The eaaler tone of the money market gave ri to a feeling of confidence that tomorrow's hank statement would show the deficit in the reserves below the legal requirements made us. This waa the ground underlying the firm tone In the stock market. Amalgamated Cop per rose cn reiterated rumors of an intended dividend Increase. The ground taken by. the parties to the coal labor controversy that fur ther confidence waa In order kept alive a hopeful sentiment which was rcSccted In the strength of Readier. The weakneaa of B. Ac O. was an example of the small relish for ad ditional capital Uaues In the present condition of the money market. The preferred stock of the company, however, shares In the subscrip tion privUegea and rose a Irons ly. Operations of the banks with the Sabtreaiury have nearly balanced on the week, while the known movements of money from the Interior hare yielded In the neighborhood of $2,000,000 to New York. This estimate presumably In cludes gold received from Canadian socrota. Stock market liquidation and the transfer of loans from New York to foreign money mar kets and to Interior banks have operated- to relieve the loan account of the New Tork City banks. How far these factors may have been offset by the new demand for credits upon the New Tork banks will require tne ofSclal tank Jtatemrnt to determine. But the easier tone of the money market today Indicated the restoration of a surplus In the rrserrea. ' Foreign exchange reacted slightly from tne highest level of yesterday, hut became steady again and gave no indication of falUng again to the gold Import level. Th market clcd with some show of strength and activity, and at the best price of the day. Bonds were Irregular. Total jaln. par value. $2,550,000. United Sis Us bonds were all un changed oa call.
