SAN Francisco, November 4th.
The movement of traffic in local produce
circles yesterday was comparatively light and
values remained about the same as on the
preceding DAY. Generally the demand on
Saturday is much larger than on Friday, but
yesterdays trade failed TO maintain stand
ard which would show the usual increase. Re
eeipts of all descriptions OF produce were
large, and with lew exceptions, prices were
very low and weak.
The Wheat market yesterday was depressed
and prices have a downward tendency.
Fresh Fruits continue to attract fair meas
ure OF attention, but buyers almost invariably
seek concessions in prices and dealers are so
overstocked that the request is very fre-
ouentiy complied with. The sale OF Apples,
particularly the choice reds, is fair, and deal
ers are quite firm in their asking figures.
Other varieties are rather slow to sell. The
receipts of Grapes have been so extensive for
several days past that nearly all dealers are
overcroWded with supplies. The situation IS
against sellers, and even the choice varieties
are weak in tone. Wine Grapes are shade
easier. Persimmons meet with moderate
inquiry. Pears are rather slow TO sell. Straw
berries and Raspberries make fair display,
but the inquiry is light and values un-
changed.
Summer Squash is very scarce and higher.
Lemons and Lines are dull but steady.
Vegetables are selling moderately well.
Sweet Potatoes are plentiful and prices are
easy. Onions are in active demand and prices
are firm at the recent advance.
Supplies OF Dried Fruits are heavy, and but
little inquiry for export is noted. Values are
low and easy.
Dairy Products are only moderately active.
Creamery Butter is abundant and very weak
at quotations. New California Cheese is sell
ing we'll at the quoted rates. Ranch Eggs re-
main unchanged. Poultry continues demor-
f aFA llIs
was q shade firmer yesterday, owing TO an i'm
proved demand.
