SAN FRANCISCO, June 90, 1892.
General trade was very quiet to-day, with
no improvement looked for until after the
Fourth. 1t is quite generally claimed that a
large number of merchants will visit the city
during the holidays, combining pleasure with
business. While interior merchants win come
here San Francisco merchants Will go to the
country and seaside resorts for the holidays.
In farm products trading was only fair. There
was very light shipping demand for both
vegetables and fruits. On Tuesday there will
be good shipping demand, for on that day
steamers viii leave for Puget Sound.
Trading in mining shares showed more
activity to-day at slightly better prices. The
market has been so strongly depressed and
prices sent so low that to habitual traders
they offer quite an inducement to go long. 1t
ID quite generally claimed that shares were
never before so well concentrated, yet it is
equally as confidently asserted that more
assessments will be levied next month.
Advices just at hand report that in Fresno
County the first crop of Raisins will be from
20 TO So per cent. short of a full yield.
Around Easton the raisin-growers have COM
bined to sell their second crop raisin grapes TO
Wine men. This will take at least 1 900 tons
out of the market The shortage ought to
make itself favorably felt in the market for
new crop Raisins.

FRUIT
The market cleaned up fairly well to-day
under good local and summer resort de
mand. The market generally sold higher
early in the morning than it did in the after
noon. The feeling Is that with heavy receipts
prices Will shade OF at the close of the week
owing TO so many persons gone to the coUn-
try with probably no shipping demand

Black Cherries. Gamers bought Blackberries
