SAN Francisco, July IL, 1892
The week opened on a fairly active trade in
general merchandise, with up-coast ports
drawing quite freely. In farm products trad
ing IN cereals, Hay, ETC., was light, owing to
collectlon day being only two days off. 1t is
wei ior shippers to understand that dealers
90 not buy any more than they can possibly
help Cunless offered concessions) just before
collection days, which are on the 18th and
SSth OF each month, If they do payments
nave TO be made sooner than they would If
purchases are made on and after collection
Gays. Receipts of Fruits were generally light,
as we're those of Vegetables, and consequently
the market was cleaned up at firm prices by
the trade. Tomorrow and early Wednesday
morning there will be a shipping demand
from up North, when choice and good keep
ing Fruit will be in good demand, and unless
there are heavy receipts better prices are apt
TO obtain. Some varieties of Fruit grown
along the river are going out, but shipments
are beginning to come to hand from localities
where the Fruit ripens later. Poultry was
firm under light receipts and a good demand.
Live stock and dairy produce were I'M
changed.
Mining shares opened weak, with trading
slow. Points are out for lower prices. There
is rumor on the street that j. w. Mackay
has been telegraphed to return tothe Com
stock and inspect recent strike. The San
Francisco Stock Exchange is debating the ad-
visabilityof selling the Exchange building.
New York mail advices indicate that Cali
fornia dried fruits and canned fruits will have
a good market. From the New York Com
aercidL Bulletin July 9th, we take the follow
ing bearing on the subject; "From European
centers it is reported that the crop OF small
fruits has been unusually light this season,
and that the packing of jellies and jams will
be curtailed more or less in consequence. AS
q matter OF course there is a tendency to in
innate that higher prices for the goods Will
prevail sooner or later. Owing to the very
light supply of the goods, Southern packers
have raised their prices 10 81 10 for canned
gOoseberries and 81 for strawberries"
Messrs. Louis Ritz & Co.. Hamburg, under
date of Esd ult., has the following to say re-
garding crops: 1.-THE outlook for the growing
fruit crops in Austria and Germany are rather
discouraging. There will be few if any pears.
The apple crop has suffered from the start by
frost and winds, and viii certainly not yield
more than one-half of last years crop. The
prune crop does not look as well as last year,
but may improve later on: we think, how
ever, that there viii be a shortage OF one-third
compared with 1891. This, with almost no
stock of last years fruit, win gradually force
prices higher"
