SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Sd.
Yesterday was a very quiet day for dealers
IN both produce and merchandise. In nearly
all lines the inactivity was very noticeable, and
what little movement there was in the early
portion of the day ceased shortly after the
noon hour. Late IN the afternoon 1t was as
quiet as q holiday among the produce dealers.
Supplies OF all seasonable varieties are quite
extensive and prices remain weak ana low, as
has been the case now for several weeks past
In some lines, such as Grapes and other fruits
affected by the late rains, there is now light
supply on hand, but the inquiry is so small
that there is an abundance to meet require
ments. Some of the choice late varieties OF
Grapes are held a little higher, but the quoted
rates are a fair average. Medium quality
stock is practically unstable. Wine Grapes
are very quiet, and prices are being shaded to
effect sales. Choice Red Apples are meeting
with moderate inquiry, and sell at full
figures. Other grades are quiet and generally
lOw-priced. Ounces are freely offered, but
trade is limited. PersimmOnS are in good
supply but there is very little inquiry. Naval
oranges are moving Oft slowly and prices are
tending downward. Seedlings are quiet and
slow to sell. Lines and Lemons are uuli.
Vegetables of all descriptions are IN moderate
supply and the quoted rates are quite STEADY.
Dealers are still well supplied with Dried
Fruits. The demand continues very small
produce is selling well and prices, with few
exceptions, are steady and held well in hand.
The best grades of Butter are higher, ana
Ranch Eggs, while selling WELL are rather
easy. Cheese is quiet. Poultry is plentiful
and very slow to sell. even at the present low
prices prevailing. The Wool trade is inactive,
although sales are of greater volume than
during the summer months. Wheat remains
depressed. although spot prices are no lower
