Unsatisfactory to Sellers.
SAN FRANCISCO. october 18th.

San FRANCISCO, october 10th.
A quiet tone and a noticeable lack of stabh-
fly in values continue to be the leading char
acteristics of local trade in both Produce ana
Merchandise lines. While the volume OF busl-
ness is fairly large. prevailing prices LOT Uhe
majority of products are so nearly nominal
as TO be entirely unsatisfactory to the seller
As the season advances the situation appears
TO remain about stationary. Supplies OF all
descriptions continue TO come to mana III
quantities largely in excess of requirements,
and this fact necessitates sales Of some varle-
ties OF produce, at least, at whatever prices
buyers choose to offer.
The Wheat market continues depressed In
tone, but choice spot Wheat is held quite
steady considering the downward tendency OF
prices in the Eastern markets.
Fresh Fruits are meeting with a fair inquiry
at the quoted rates. Mountain Peaches, II
choice In quality, sell quite readily at full
figures but there is consider able inferior Fruit
in the market that is being offered at very low
rates Apples of all varieties are plentiful
and fancy table Fruit sells we'll Pears are
abundant, but the inquiry Is rather small,
Grapes are in good demand and supplies OF all
varieties are extensive. Royal Isabella and
Seedless Sultana are held more firmly. Water
melons are slow to sell and they will probably
disappear in another week or ten days. Ber-
ries are becoming scarce, but supplies are
sufficient for the inquiry. Lemons are slow
to sell, but Mexican LINES are Steadler, owing
to the loss of consignments on the steamer
Newbern.
Drted Fruits are coming to hand in moderate
quantities and values are held quite steady.
All classes of Dairy Products except cream
cry Butter are selling well. California new
Cheese is held firm at the recent advance.
Ranch Eggs are active and asking prices are
firmly held. Poultry is in excessive supply
and prices are being shaded 10 ELECT sales
