for some DAYS, Offering at fancy prices, say 81 to
% box Receipts of Cherries to-day were not
ably large, causing decline in prices, which
would have been more positive had the weather
not been cool. Large quantities were carried
over. Raspberries and Strawberries are rather
in excess of trade needs, and peddlers have good
chance to buy. Cherry Plums and Apricots are
pushing to the front as features and are not neg
lected by purchasers Currants come along in

HONEY-Quiet market, with weak tone to val

said to be good. We quote: Bright new comb, 1213

Bright extracted, 6G61ac; amber extracted, So
51ac: dark extracted. SC; candied, 41a@15c n 10.
BUTTER-Although there is no change to re-
port in quotations. the market is not SO firm a
few days ago. Comparatively high selling prices
caused more liberal shipments from the several
dairleS and local commission merchants had to
| shade on asking figures to prevent accumulation.
| At the moment the demand is barely equal TO the
| supply. If packing operations should stop in
the interior there would likely be decline in
Butter quotations. Dealers however, do not
expect such q contingency. The impression
seems to be general that tor a little while to
come there will be no great varistion in prices.

EGGS-The market is heavily stocked with
the Eastern article, and so long as this surfeit
lasts there is but little hope for improvement in
prices for domestic product. Occasionally box

POULTRY-Receipts of California Poultry are
not particularly large, which is fortunate for
sellers, as the market is literally supplied with
Eastern consignments. These latter arrivals are
becoming quite frequent, and materially dis
| turb values. Although the market is not what
might be termed demoralized, it presents but
| few features of encouragement for domestic
shippers. We quote prices: Live Turkeys

WOOL-1here has been some business the
past week, both for shipping and securing, and
sales have been fairly liberal. The clip for the
season from all California points, at from Ore
gon far as received, is said to be very inferior
| as a rule. Woods are short, poor and shrinky.
| Dealers say that prices can be quoted lower
than at any former time on this coast. The Cali
| fornia clip is pretty well IN from all sections,
except Sonoma, Humboldt and Mendocino coun-
| ties and the extreme north, say Siskiyou and
adjoining districts. Reported sales Of 30O o.

MEAT MARKET-Medium grades of Beef

all market needs. Lamb makes liberal display
