FORECAST FOR SHIPPERS ' Notwithstanding the fact that the ap ple crop of tbe United States thla sea son was greater tnan for many years, the dried fruit trade la feeling the ef fects of an unusually heavy European Call. '. .' " . For that reason stocks of dried or evaporated apples In coast markets are Being well cleaned up. Even the heavy offerings that have been flooding the eastern trade are now practically out of the way and prloes are responding to tho stronger influence. The market for dried prunes, while nominal here, is 'showing the highest frloe in years in the east, where tho rade is crying for the coast to offer. Bales are being made In the New York market as high as 13c a pound, with practically no favorable alses available except in small lots, at any price. The extent of tho shipments to New York ean be seen when an official re port made by the trade there shows that up to February 3 the receipts for the season were 609,078 cases compared with arrivals of 203.334 cases for the same period a year ago...: PRICESlSlEV ALONG THE COAST San Franclsoo, Feb. 8.

The situation at present is said to really warrant an advance of 30 to 40c per barrel in patent but all Ideas are tha the coming rise will be 20c a bar rel. As yet only one milling" concern in tno Pacific northwest has moved its prices upward, all others desiring to wait awhile. There is no change in the export flour situation. Business is of such character that prices seem to have reached slightly above the basis where the Orient can continue to purchase freely. There is considerable activity in the wheat trade. Sales of bluestem are re ported from 88 to 90o per bushel track delivery basis, while club is quoted from 86 to 87 He for the same delivery. Every Interest seems to have a different idea of the value of wheat at this time but it Is generally seen that holders are asking the maximum, Oats market is slightly more active but most of the business is passing between dealers at a fraction above tbe prioea printed.

Dealers have shown some anxiety to- do business and they have of fered brewers some concessions with out resulting In Important sales. The fact is that trade has not picked up any since the holiday dullness, and operat ors are getting a little tired over the long period of Inactivity. "we have reduced quotations to more nearly represent the prices at which the different grades could be bought 'if either dealers or brewers were at all disposed to take hold. At the same time values must be considered somewhat nominal until there is more doing. Some weakness is snown in tne interior or this state qnd very few sales reported.

' ' ': . . v;r;;;:,; Cf ;i That the attorneys for the Southern Pacific company are playing a shrewd game In seeking a franchise for the electrification of the Fourth street line is the opinion of Dr. Harry Lane, for mer mayor of the city. "What the city council should do with the company's application," said Dr. Lane today, "ia to reject It and force the company to apply for a new fran chise Instead of an amendment of the franchise which was repealed by the council during my administration. The validity of an ordinance regulating traf fic on the Fourth street line will be de cided by the supreme court to which body the railroad appealed. Pending that dacislon the council should not grant any- amendments sought by the com pany. I believe it is tho company's game to get a perpetual franchise by this means and to secure an exclusive right on the line. The council should now pass an ordinance declaring the franchise on Fourth street forfeited. "The electrification of the Fourth street line is, 1 believe, a laudable pro ject and the company should be per mitted to achieve this and to double track, but there should be a reasonable time limit to Its franchise and the com mon user clause should be inserted therein."
