SAN FRANCfsco, Sept. 17th.
There is a steady movement in Wheat, 8
great amount being shipped. Prices remain
unchanged All descriptions OF fresh Fruit
met with quite fair inquiry yesterday, ano
If prices had been as favorable as the volume
of trade dealers would have been Wen salis-
fed. The situation, however, Is only IaVor-
able to the buying element. SHOCKS are larse,
and in many instances dealers are hampereo
with quantities of inferior varieties Tor wnlch
1t is very difficult to secure buyers. Receipts
continue liberal, but II is noticeable that the
best qualities of the respective varieties are
gradually improving in tone, and asking
prices are more readily obtained. There is a
moderate inquiry for strictly choice mountain
Peaches and sales are readily effected at the
quoted rates. Bartlett Pears are in moderate
supply and first-class fruit is held quite steady.
Plums and German Prunes are plentiful, but
prices are low and weak. Grapes are coming
to hand in liberal consignments, and values
have very easy tone. Strictly fancy Tokays
are held firmly, but all other varieties are oc-
casionally heing shaded in order to effect sales.
Figs are almost entirely neglected. Berries OF
all kinds are moving off rather slowly.
Potatoes and Onions are unchanged. Nege-
tables are abundant and cheap.
Dried Fruits are very dull andprices remain
low and weak.
Dairy products are quite active and values
are stronger. Creamery and fancy roll Butter
are in active demand and prices are higher,
with an upward tendency. R4nch Eggs are
selling we'll and prices are held steady. Cheese
is quiet. Poultry is In large supply, and even
the low prices now prevailing fail to attract
buyers.
