GROCERIES and PRODUCE
CANNED PEAS.
The market on canned peas is firm
and prices, have been maintained.
There has been a general shortage
on new crops and it is now conced-
ed iliat deliveries wP.L be from 25 per
cent to 35 per cent short on all
trra ies
CANNED CORN.
Packers are holding future deliv-
eries of canned corn firmly and job-
bers appear willing to buy heavily on
every concession from present prices.
CALIFORNIA FRUITS.
Last month we advised buying sea-
son's requirement in California Fruits
and we still believe that this should
be done. The prices announced at the
opening of the season have been held
firmly from the start and advices from
the coast are to effect that the 1906
pack will not exceed 70 per cent of
that of last year.
K
DRIED FRUITS.
The market on dried fruits has
shown easier tendency, and while rais-
ins are today quoted firmly peaches
are offered at 3-4 to 1 cent lower and
the price on future prunes easy with a
lower tendency and only moderate
interest shown. The latest estimate
on the prune crop for the coast is 200,-
000,000 pounds. This is considered
above the home consumption and
there is little prospect of an export
demand, as the French crop is esti-
mated at 75,000,000 pounds, and that
of Bosnia and Servia estimated at
175,000,000 pounds, which together,
are sufficient for the European con-
sumption for the year. The home con-
sumption of prunes is certain to be
effected by the enormous crop of ap-
ples now in sight, estimated at from
90,000,000 to 100,000,000 barrels. Cheap
dried apples will displace prunes. All
indications point to lower prices on
prunes.
CANNED TOMATOES.
Last month we stated that we be-
lieved the market on canned toma-
toes was being manipulated and advis-
ed no buying for more than immediate
needs. Our opinion has b'een fully
borne out by the changes of the last
30 days. The price on spots f. o. b.
Baltimore in the middle of June was
$1.20 f. o. b., with reports of heavy
damage to new crop. Spots showed
more or less weakness in the face of
a decided lack of interest on the part
of the jobbers until about the first
of July, when between 30,000 and 40,-
000 cases were moved at from 97 cents
down to 90 cents. This break caused
a readjustment of the syndicate hold-
ings on the basis of 95 cents f. o. 'b.
But even this was not sustained and
the price declined to 70 to 80
cents, or practically the figures pre-
vailing in the spring of last year. It
is now no secret that the market of
the past 12 months has been purely
speculative and due to manipulation.
Our advice now on canned toma-
toes is to watch the market closely
and cover seasons requirements on
any concessions ni price. On futures
a number of packers have withdrawn
selling orders at 75 cents in the face
of further reports of crop damage and
as the packers are paying about $2
per ton more to the grower than the
average for the past 6 years we expect
futures to be held firmly at present
quotations.
