Low Price of Wheat Creates Increased
Inquiry for Shipping Qualities.
Large Sales of Fresh Fruits at San
Francisco, With Supplies
Heavy.

not much above the average, with the eXcep-
tlon OF one or two varieties. Bartlett Pears
are coming to hand more freely than the
wants of the market require, and as a result
asking prices are lower. with a downward
tendency. Crawford Peaches are moving of
well, and Tor choice fruit the inquiry is good
but medium and inferior grades are not easily
sold except at very low figures. Moorpark
Apricots are IN fair supply, but the quality of
most of the stock offered Is scarcely up to re-
qulrements, and values are therefore weak.
Plums are in heavy supply and the demand
is not developing sufficient activity to move
stocks. Watermelons and Cantaloupes are
arriving in liberal consIgnments, and dealers
are occasionally shading asking prices to ef-
quite plentiful, but steady in price. Kasp-
berries are meeting with a fair demand. and
Graz es are rather slow.
Tomatoes are still in heavy supply, but
strictly choice stock is not OVerabundant. PO-
IatoeS and Onions are steadIer and the de-
mand is good. Green Corn Of the best quality
IS steady at the recent advance, while the in
terror grades are almost unstable
The market Tor Dried Fruits continues un-
favorable to sellers. Stocks are light, trade
dull and prices weak.
Dairy products OF choice quality are devel-
oplng considerable activity. Fancy creamery
and fresh dairy Butter are held firmly at the
quoted rates. and prices are tending upward.
Ranch Eggs are abundant but fairly steady
cheese IS meeting with good inquiry and
sales are extensive. Poultry remains very
dull, with excessive supplies and values de
void of stability.
