COMMERCIAL,
Wheat Market Steady, but Not of
a Firm Character.
All Other Cereals DuIl-All Varieties
of Fresh Fruits in Heavy
Oversupply.
SAN FRANCISCO. September Sd.

Dan Il hAN11StO, september on.
LEGAL traffic in nearly all lines Of produce
yesterday was only fairly active Receipts
were extensive. but quite well distributed.
The Wheat market is steady, but not very
firm. Eastern and foreign markets offer little
encouragement to sellers. All other cereals
are dull.
All varieties OF fresh Fruits are in heavy
oversupply, and dealers are selling in some
instances at buyers valuations. 1t is i'm
possible to maintain any standard Of values,
and the only way to reduce stocks is TO sell at
what buyers offer. Choice treestone Peaches
are in demand and prices are held quite
steady, but the enormous quantity of medium
grade stock on hand and arriving daily is slow
to sell. The receipts OF Bartlett Pears are de-
creasing and il there is not any increase deal
ers hope to obtain better figures shortly.
Plums are dull and almost neglected. Silver
Prunes are selling fairly well, but the German
variety is meeting with a poor inquiry.
Grapes are coming to hand in large quantities
and values are very weak. with a downward
tendency. Tokays bring a good price. but all
other varieties are cheap. Berries of all kind
are IN good supply and low prices rule. Ap-
pies are abundant and the inquiry Is rather
light.
Green Corn is higher owing to small re-
ceipts. Tomatoes are in excessive supply and
low-priced Vegetables are plentiful and
cheap.
Dried Fruits are selling slowly at quoted
rates. The largest shipments of the season
were sent to New YORK by steamer yesterday.
Receipts are moderate.
Dairy produce continues to move of fairly
well, although values on all commodities eX-
cept Eggs are weak. Creamery Butter is ac-
cumulating and sales are slow. Ranch Eggs
are firmly held, and Poultry is almost ne
elected.
