SAN FRANCISCO. December gath

| SAN FRANCISCO, december 24th.
There was a fair degree of activity in the To-
cal produce and merchandise markets yester-
day, and values, though generally low, were
well sustained The receipts of produce were
liberal, but not greatly in excess OF require
| ments. Poultry received considerable atten-
tion, but of course. the holiday trade was
mainly directed to Turkeys. Supplies of the
latter were large in the morning and the sales
were quite steady, but toward noon there
was decrease in the demand and prices were
easier and occasionally lower. Although sales
We're extensive in volume there was consider
able carry-over stock at the close of the days
business
Poultry and Game were plentiful, but sales
were rather slow.
The fresh fruit market was in fair condition
| and sales were quite liberal. Prices, however,
were weak, and in many instances lower.
The supply OF Oranges is large and under
| light inquiry business drags slowly. Prices
were again marked down yesterday. Seed
lings are not wanted. Lines and Lemons are
selling well and prices are held steady. Nuts
meet with a good inquiry and the quoted
rates are readily obtained Choice red Ap-
/ pies are in active demand, and prices are
nrmly held. Pears and Persimmons are
| neglected.
Vegetables are in fair supply, and sales are
| liberal. Sweet Potatoes are held steady at the
recent advance
Dried fruits are stationary. There is prac-
| tlcalIy no market just now for either Prunes
or Raisins, although some of the other vari-
ettes are moving slowly.
Dairy products are selling well, but prices
1or all commodities are weak. Creamery But
ter is easy, and the same may be said of ranch
| Eggs. Cheese is unchanged.
WOOL Is depressed, and only strictly choice
| stock can be occasionally sold at the low prices
| quoted.
The Wheat market remains quiet, with spot
prices unchanged.
