Little Change to be Noted in the
Produce Market.
The Supply of Vegetables in Excess of
the Demand-Ranch Eggs Meet
With Ready Sale.
Especial Correspondence RrcoRD-UNror.l

There was little change in the produce
market yesterday. The demand for Fruits
continues steady and values are we'll main
tanned The supplies Of Vegetables are in ex-
cess ofthe demand and prices rule low. The
supply of Dried Fruits is about equal TO the
demand, though prices are well maintained
Ranch Eggs are meeting with steady demand,
sellers being particularly benefited. butter is
In good supply, considering the lateness of
the season. Poultry Is very dull. Fresh
Meats OF all descriptions are weak in tone in
consequence OF liberal supplies and prices are
steady, but not strong. Trade in Provisions
continues fairly active, but values in some
lines are shade weaker. Staple Groceries
are moving fairly well at good 1igures. The
market for all kinds of Cereals continues
steadily depressed and local dealers are very
much dissatisfied with the present outlook.
The foreign markets are dun and show no in
dications of improvement Mining stocks
presented more favorable aspect yesterday
than for many weeks past. The market was
stronger, business more active, and values on
the upward grade.
In reviewing the present condition Of the
fruit market the Cutting Packing Company
report, in their trade circular, as follows:
There is but little change in the condition OF
affairs or the prospects from those advised
month since. The weather has continued
cloudy and foggy nearly every day, and has
greatly retarded the growth, size and quality
OF all late fruits and vegetables, the crops OF
which have followed the results of earlier va
rletieS. This result seems TO be general along
The coast and TO have applied TO all varieties,
excepting possibly Pears. AS result prices
tor green fruits have steadily increased until
they have averaged fully dou ole those that
were anticipated in June, when prices in fu-
lures were first made. AS nearly all packers
sold quite up TO their capacity as soon they
had made contracts for fruits, and in some
cases earlier, and based sucG sales on June

anticipated.
Had crops matured as expected, so that esti-
mates made had been followed by equivalent
deliveries, there would have been little
trouble and results would have been fairly
profitable. AS it is, crops contracted have
fallen off fully one-thiFd. and in some cases
one-half packers were obliged to replace with
other crops at such advanced prices as to
easily wipe out any prospective profit. SO the
are very disastrous to most packers. This
seems TO be a year when all calculations, esti-
mates ana averages are set at naught
Domestic demand from Eastern points
which for month or so has been quescent,
has resumed activity. The Eastern Peach
packers, after waiting till the season was well
along, have finally concluded they Will get no
canning Peaches worth mentioning and their
trade must look elsewhere for supplies. There
is little doubt but such stocks as may be
found in first hands here will command - 20

apparently no surplus of any other variety,
save possibly Pears, so that there should be Il
