COMMERCIAL,
Business Not Very Active in Market
Circles at the Bay.
The Week in Local Circles Closes on a
Fairly Good Market-Wild
Game Plentiful.


In some respects the local produce market
yesterday was slightly improved as compared
with the preceding day but this fact may be
partially accounted for on account of it being
the closing day of the week. Sales are usually
better on Friday by reason of retailers stock
ing up for Saturday, but as Friday last was
exceptionally dull the increased demand was
probably reserved until yesterday morning.
Receipts were not above the average, but the
varieties were fairly well distributed.
All descriptions of Fresh Fruits were dull
yesterday, and dealers complained consider
ably of the inactivity which neeessitatsd the
carrying over of heavy stocks. Choice red
Apples are meeting with moderate inquiry
but ali other varieties, of which, by the way,
there is a great abundance, are selling slowly,
and asking prices are being literally shaded.
Pears ana Figs fail TO attract customers, and
sales are slow. Strawberries are moving off
fairly we'll at steady rates. Ounces are sell
ing rather slowly. The supply OF Grapes is
greatly in excess of the demand, and prices
are not only very low, but easy. Dried fruits
are in heavy supply, and the demand remains
rather limited.
Creamery Butter is held firmly at the recent
advance. Other grades are unchanged.
Ranch Eggs are very week, and sales are slow.
Poultry is dull, Turkeys being overpientlful
and cheaper.
The local Wheat market is depressed, and
transactions generally are not large.
