McCullough Bros.’ Fruit Letter. Atlanta November 28 —After the holi days of Thanksgiving the trade is over. 'The market condition on most everything its greitlv improved. However, there is I still an abundant supply of oranges and I apples on tl’e market. i Orange s ate selling exceedingly slow i this season and the prices being obtained i f or them ire lower than they have boon !'at nnv tim since the freeze. | T)i„'apple situation is pretty much nt the same si t. ition- The supply has been very heavv, much >n excess of demand, but the market is cleaning up to some extent and a general change we hope to l see take place very shortly. Lemons are slow sale at reduced prices. 1 The banana situation remains un- I changed. The demand is limited by the excessively high prices asked for the fruit. Malaga grapes were never better, more plentiful or cheaper, the market being well supplied at a low range of prices. There is a scarcity of almost all kinds of nuts, and as the demand increases the prices will gradually go higher, with the exception of cocoanuts. They show a weakness, with little or no change in price. Poultry- has been one of the cheap ar ticles of trade for the past week, and all I receipts of any tiling like good stock has , met with ready sale at liberal prints, i Eggs are very scarce and high, the ten- I doncy being for a continuation of the I present prices. ' Butter is slow sale, there being but lit- I tie demand for anything but table stock. ) There Is a. strong demand for game of ; all descriptions, especially dressed rab : bits, quail an.! squirrels. Receipts ar - not equal to the demand, consequently prices j are ranging higher. ' Irish potatoes have taken a spurt, and j today's market shows an advance of 10 ; per cent per bushel, with a very’ limited , supply and a heavy demand. I Sweet potatoes are in better demand, the , glut having cleaned up, with light re ceipts ami much better pricts.

New York, November 28.—Tito New York Financier says this week: “Tiie most striking feature of the offi cial statement of the New York Asso ciated banks last week, and that which chi’-ily attracted attention, was the im portant increase of 52,21 3.850 in surplus n.- ( .-\e. This resulted from the gain "f S7CB 500 in cash and the reduction of $5,781,400 in deposits through which th reserve requirements were diminished by $1,445,350. v.ltich sum, added to the gain in. cash, made tho above imted increase of $2,213,859 in surplus reserve Io $6.- 125 200. Calculated upon the basis of deposits, less those of $36,809,700 of pub lic funds, the surplus is $15,327,625. There was a decrease of $6,394,600 in loans which, it mav be noted, leaves this item only $9,197,600 above the minimum of tin: year. Specie, legal tenders and deposits are at the lowest of the year. Tho reduction in loans last Week was net unexpected, for there was more or 1,., 3 contraction as the result of stock market liquidation, and also because of a desire by some of the banks to aug ment their percentages of reserve to de posits. The gain in casli was smaller by $1,891,000 than that which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable move ments of money during the week. Tliis is probably accounted for by the fact that ’ the imports of $3,630,300 gold shown in I the estimates were not made fully avail- > ! able because of necessary’ delay in pay : I ments therefor by the assay office, since tin? statement was made on rising avev- 1 1 pges for cash. In tills connection it is noteworthy that, as has been shown dur- I ing tile fortnight, the direct drain of money from the banks to the west, and tiie south is at an end, and hereafter we ■ may look for a return movement in some j volume, especially from the former sec- tion. Moreover about $3,500,000 gold is 1 a'reaily. in transit from London to arrive tills we”k and. $2,500,000 more will be .- hipped iiitlu r ou its arrival at rhe Hi'it- l c h capital from South Africa. The bank statement showed a good balance last week, the sum of the decrease in loans, less tiie gain in cash, being $155,300 be low tiie 1 eduction in total deposits. Th-' daily average of bank clearings last week v.as $6,000,000 in excess of that of ti:-: previous week, indicating augmented bus iness. Circulation showed the small gain of $13,400 and tiie. public deposits were ■ $8,600 higher titan those of the previous week. Then they were at the lowest ol tiie ve.ar. t.'omparisous of item of l-eti.-'. show that four of the larger banks Pad a. net decr-ase of $3,300,000. in die il.’n: of cash five banks in'dicate a net g 1:1 of $1,300,000.

November 27.—R. G. D'-.ti i& Co.'s review of trade tomorrow will • ; "Seasonable temperature and holiday purchases stimulated retail trade, making results more satisfactory during the past I week than at any recent date. 1m- ■ provement was most conspicuous in • ' hcai'y wearing apparel and kindred lines I tl.at have remained dull because of the mild weather. Anqther encouraging t'eat i ure was the resumption of work at the > New York mills, although there is still . much idle machinery, especially in the 'textile and iron industries. Thousands I of operatives ar-.- idle because of the shut ; down at a few of the paper mills. in j view of tne numerous wage reductions I there is noteworthy harmony between ■ employees and workers, indicating that 1 labor leaders appreciate th- necessity of j sharing in the readjustment. Grain ship j ments Increased with tin- approaching I close of navigation on the lakes, and I freight traffic was subjected to the great ; esc p: • ssure of the season. But there is less than the customary complaint of ’ delay.
