SAN Francisco, Dec. "a.
Business in Merchandise and Produce
lines was of small proportions yesterday,
but the condition was mainly attribute
able 10 the general preparations for
Christmas. While the wholesale branches
of trade were quiet the retail lines We're
particularly active. The Produce Elk
change having adjourned over until Tues
day there was nothing whatever doing
in Cereals. In the Fresh Fruit market
trade was slow and prices weak, although
no lower than on the preceding day.
Oranges are in good supply, but the III
quiry continues light. Choice potatoes
are selling well at fair prices, but heaNy
stock OF inferior varieties is still on hand
and slow TO move. Onions are IN good
supply, but the tone OF the market IS
easier. Vegetables are scarce and prices
are firm. Dried Fruits are in fair de-
mand, but stocks are still large and prices
unchanged. Fancy Creamery and Dairy
Butter IS in light supply and values are
firm. There are many conslgnments
from various sections delayed by the
storm, however, and until the regular
channels of trade are again open the sup
ply will remain moderate. Eggs were
plentiful yesterday and selling rather
slowly. Turkeys arrived in liberal guam
titles yesterday and prices were weaker
and lower than on Friday. Provisions
and Groceries continue active al good hg-
ures. Wool and Hides are quiet. MIN
ing shares were entirely neglected yester-
dav, trading being OF very small proper
tons and prices about the same as on the
preceding day.
