COMMERCIAL.
But Little Activity in the Produce
Markets at San Francisco.
Values Easy, and the Condition of
Trade Wholly in Favor of the
Buying Element.
SAX FRANCISCO, December 10th.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 10th.
The local Produce markets developed but
little activity yesterday Values were easy,
and the condition OF trade was wholly in favor
of the buying element. Supplies of all COM
modities are coming TO hand freely, and deal
ers still find it practically impossible to main
tain any standard Of values. Receipts OF
Produce yesterday were quite extensive, and
in some lines the quantities received were
considerably in excess of the requirements OF
trade.
Fresh Fruits are meeting with moderate
inquiry, and some strictly choice varieties
are selling well at full figures. New crop
Oranges are in good supply, and the low
prices prevailing are proving an inducement
to buyers. The demand, however, is mostly
confined to Navels. Seedlings are quiet and
weak in tone. Supplies OF Grapes are fair,
and abundantly sufficient for all present re-
quirements. The varieties are now few In
number and for strictly fancy stock full fig-
ures are obtained. Medium-grade stock sells
very slowly. There is scarely any demand Tor
Wine Grapes. Fancy varieties OF Red Apples
meet with some inquiry. and prices are held
quite steady. Ordinary apples are dull, and
prices are almost at the buyers valuation.
Pears and Persimmons are neglected
Vegetables are selling well at the quoted
figures. sweet Potatoes are higher and onions
are easier.
Dried Fruits are still very dull, the market
being overstocked, with the inquiry very
light.
Dairy Products meet with a fair sale, al
though the demand has not been SUFFICIENT 10
sustain values during the week. The best
grades of Butter are easier, and Ranch Eggs
are lower. Cheese is in good supply and quiet.
Poultry is selling slowly at very unsatis-
factory prices. Game is dull.
The Wheat market is quiet, and spot prices
are only fairly steady.
