COMMERCIAL.
Wheat Prices Remain About the Same
at San Francisco.
The Market for Dairy Produce in a
Moderately Active Condition
Fruits Plentiful.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 27th.

SAN FRANCISCO Aug. 27th.
Nearly all branches of trade in both
merchandise and produce yesterday were
quiet and the volume of traffic was scarcely
up 20 the average. Receipts of produce were
rather large, but the commodities were fairly
well distributed
Wheat remains about the same, although
the Eastern and foreign markets are tirmer
and occasionally higher.
Supplies Of Fresh Fruits continue greatly in
excess of the requirements of trade, and
dealers find it impossible to clean up sto ks.
AS a means of reducing surplus supplies,
almost every day quantities are offered for
prices below the quoted rates. Choice Peaches
are meeting with a tair inquiry and values
are held moderately steady. Bartlett Pears
are still coming to hand in very large and
numerous shipments. Sales are rather slow
and values are decidedly weak, even at the
low prices prevailing. Plums are plentiful,
but the inquiry is light. Apples make good
display and the trade movement is fair.
Watermelons and Cantaloupes are over
abundant, and even very low prices do not
appear to materially increase the sales.
Tomatoes sell fairly well at the low prices
ruling.
Potatoes and Onions are quite steady and
the inquiry is moderate.
Drieu Fruits are coming to hand slowly but
it is just as well, for there is practically no
demand, and the low prices now current will
certainly prevent growers getting fair returns.
The market tor Dairy Products is in
moderately active condition and prices are
rather better as compared with other lines.
Fancy creamery and fresh roll Butter are ar
irving rather freely and values are easy.
Choice ranch Eggs are in demand ana deal-
ers hold firmly 10 asking prices. Cheese is
steady and Poultry is dull.
