COMMERCIAL.
Wheat at San Francisco Weaker and
a Shade Lower.
Other Cereals Low Priced and the
Demand Light-Fruits in
Oversupply.

SAN Francisco. Sept. oath.
The inactivity and the consequent weak
ness of values now prevailing in the local
produce market has very depressing effect
upon trade and is discouraging to both deal
ers and growers Receipts yesterday were
large and far in excess of requirements.
Wheat is weaker and a shade lower. Ship
pers buy freely, but millers are backward.
Other cereals are low priced and the demand
is light.
Consignments of Grapes are coming to hand
In enormous quantities and almost every
commission house is burdened with an over
supply. In order to reduce stocks dealers
willingly make liberal concessions, and even
this does not prove a sufficient inducement TO
buyers to clean up daily receipts. Peaches
are in very light demand, and the situation
is wholly in favor of buyers. Bartlett Pears
are moving very slowly and the tendency is
for lower prices. Figs are almost neglected.
Plums drag very heavily, with but little in
quiry. Lines and Lemons are held steady,
with moderate demand Watermelons are
abundant and prices are low but sales are
not readily effected. Cantaloupes sell fairly
well.
Tomatoes are moving slowly at unsteady
prices. Corn is dull and weaker.
Dried Fruits are meeting with but little in
Quiry and the trade movement is unsatisfac-
tory. Receipts are coming TO hand htlle
Dairy produce is quite active and Butter
and Eggs, particularly the best grades are
held steady at quoted prices. Cheese is dull
and unchanged. Poultry continues to show
signs OF improvement.
