Wheat Quiet and Transactions Light
at San Francisco.
An Oversupply of Nearly All the
Leading Varieties of Green
Fruits.

SAN Francisco, october 22d.
The volume of trade yesterday in the local
Produce market was fairly large, but there
was no material improvement in values.
Wheat is quiet and transactions rather
light.
Owing TO the lateness of the season some
varieties of fresh Fruits are becoming scarce,
and for choice stock slightly higher prices are
obtainable Generally, however, there Is SILL
An oversuppIy OF nearly all leading varieties.
and dealers find it no easy matter TO reduce
accommodations without impairing vaua-
tions on the best qualities of stock. Grapes
are coming to hand in liberal consignments
from all the grape-growing sections, and the
Eow prices serve as a standing inducement TO
Buyers. AS q result the demand for local con-
sumption has attained larger proportions
than in former years. Choice red Apples from
the mountain districts are making very at
tractive display, and for these there is good
inquiry, with steady tone to prices. Noun
tain Peaches are not very plentiful, and all
grades of the fruit except the best are very
slow to sell. Fresh Figs are quiet, with sup
plies moderate. Berries meet with llght IN
quiry. Watermelons and CantaloupeS con-
tinue inactive, with prices quite weak. Lines
and Lemons are abundant, and rather SLOW
TO sell.
Tomatoes are freely offered at very low
rates. Green Corn is rather scarce, and prices
have an upward tendency. Cranoerries are
quite plentiful, and prices are held steady at
quotations.
the leading varieties of Dried Fruits, and ask
jng prices are held quite firmly,
Dairy Products are moving OF Well with the
exception of creamery Butter. The price Is
not quOtably lower, but dealers are OCCASION
ally shading to suit buyers. Cheese Is selling
well at the recent advance. Ranch Eggs are
in demand, and the quoted figures are readily
obtained. Poultry is very dull, and all dealers
are overstocked.
