But Some Early Varieties of California Fruit Will Be Light. Fruit crop prospects In California are re ported by the California Fruit Distributers as follows: Since our last letter to the trade, dated Jiarch 11. the fruit trees have passed the rlossomlng period and the fruit Is set so that we can now give more definite inform ation In regard to prospects for the com ing crop. Our expectations of the ripen ing of fruit being earlier than last year will not be realised on the first fruits, but with go. d weather may be on those coming later The early varieties of cherries will ba rather llKhter than last year. Black Tar tartans. Royal Annes. Blngs. etc gen erclly promise a fair crop. The first box of cherries Is expected to go forward dally but carlots can hardly b. expected to move before the middle of May. Apricot, wilt be light in the early ,ec tlona, but there will be enough for ship- Ping purposes. Peaches are renennv ing well, and there will ba an ahuninni of all shipping varieties. Mulrs, generally used for drying purposes, and some var ieties of clings, will not be as heavy as last year. Plum, and prunes will be In good sup ply. Bartlett pears are generally looking very well. The grape vine, are now well advanced and we anticipate a fine crop. The quality of our fruit this seaeon prom ises to be exceptionally good. Rainfall has been abundant, the trees are not overloaded a. wasthe case last year, and all con ditions have been very favorable, there having been no development of fungus or blight so far.

EXPECT FLURRY IN MONEY Speculation Centers Principally in Reading Paris Drawing Gold From London Bonds Are Dull and Heavy. NEJW YORK. April 28. There were symptoms of languor in the speculation in stocks) today. The Mlltng pressure became pronounced when the market developed any show of strength, but it was not pushed at the severe cost of value, until the last half hour. Thto condition caused a f-Vy under tone rather than weakness. A flurry In the call money market is among the possibilities for the week In con nection with the preparations for the monthly settlements. Last week already a closer scrutiny was being exercised of collateral for loans, and borrowers were notified by the bank, to reduce the percentage of the more doubtful class of securities. This) shifting of loans la a disturbing: process. The same Influence was at work In the bond market to reduce the volume of transactions and to Impart a heavy tone to that class of securi ties. The day1, narrow speculation centered in a few of the favorite trading stocks, notably Reading. Fluctuations In that stock were violent until it became known that the Su preme Court decision on the commodities clause of the Hepburn law was not to be handed down today. London turned seller in this msrket. prompted. It wa. eald. by the approach of the half-monthly settlement of tffe London fctock Exchange. There were traces of anxiety In some of the foreign markets over affairs In Turkey. The renewed absorption of gold by Paris wa. illustrated in the taking of $5,000,000 in Lon don for that account. Reading seemed to be hurt by the Intima tion that heavy supplies of anthracite re mained on hand to be worked off during the Summer In the event of an agreement wlh the mlnere. News bearing on the wheat crop was re garded as. favorable, but the further break In the wheat market lscked a stimulating effect. Time loans were quoted a fraction higher today for all maturities. The call money rate did not get above 2 per cent. Gathering distrust over the selling of stock, which ap peared on all available opportunities led to throwing over of speculative accounts in the late dealings and to the weak close Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value $4,882,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. e;i. ... . . Sliming High. Low. Amal Copper Am Car & Foun do preferred . . Am Cotton Oil.
