PRUNES ARE UP
As the holiday season approach
es, necessarily the interest ol
pooplo generally Is turned toward
retail trading, says tho Callfornll
Fruit News. Thero is, according
ly, and particularly under thi
small supplies and firm market In
California dried fruit lines, verj
littlo that Is now to report thii
week. Price changes aro very few
from one week ago. The fig asso
ciation withdrew under date ol
December lu on standard Adrl
atics nnd advanced choice nnd ex
tra choice in 25c 4c. Commer
cial packers are quoting 30-40
prunes higher than a week
ago. California evaporated apples
have advanced about the. same
here this week. This latter line ie
getting welt out ot first hands
and will unquestionably show a
firm market for some time.
All varieties under the dried
fruit heading are scarce in Cali
fornia and outside of the associa
tion's prune holdings and a few
of the independent growers who
havo not yet sold and' the holdings
ot the Sun-Mold Raisin growers
in that line, there is littlo In tho
dried fruit lift unsold at this time.
Tho California Packing corpora
tion estimates that the combined
holdings of growers and shippers
show: In rai6ins, less than one
halt of what was unsold here a
year ago; in prunes, less than the
carry over as of June 1 last; in
apples, barely 60 per cent ot the
supply available at a correspond
ing period last year.
Lnrge prunes like 30s are get
ting scarcer and gaining otrength
in California and the Italian
prune Gituatlon in the northwest
is constantly firming. Growers
who have not sold there are, liko
the California growers, awaiting
higher prices later In the season.
Raisins continue the strength
shown by tho recent advances
and are in active demand.
