COMMERCIAL.
The Wheat Trade Quiet, With Prices
Fairly Steady.
Other Cereals Inactive and Low-Priced
Fresh Fruits Meeting With
Moderate Demand.
So FRANcIsco, October 29th.


and heavy supplies with low and unsteady
values are still the causes of complaint among
both dealers and growers. Yesterdays re-
ceipts were large, and as has been tie case on
many preceding days, some OF the stock was
not in good order This has proved serious
drawback TO sales, and if shippers would eX-
ercise little more care in preparing tneir
consignments, their products would prove
more attractive to buyers and sell more read
lily.
The Wheat trade is quiet and the prices,
though low, are fairly steady. Other cereals
are inactive and low priced.
Fresh Fruits are meeting with a moderate
demand, but prices continue very low and
there does not appear TO be any immediate
prospect for improvement. Strictly cholce
red apples make a good display, and the de-
mand appears to be increasing. Prices are
held quite steady. All varieties of Grapes are
in large supply and although now prices are
apparently down to the lowest point, there is
still downward tendency. Ounces or GOOD
quality are meeting with some inquiry al
quoted rates. Pears are almost wholly ne
elected. Strawberries are IN fair supply, but
rates are not very extensive. Lines and Lem
onS are quiet, and the demand for Pineapples
and Bananas is rather light.
Potatoes are selling slowly and onions are
held firmly.
Dried Fruits are in liberal supply and the
daily sales are assuming larger proportions.
Dealers consider the outlook favorable for
better prices.
Dairy products are receiving considerable at
tention. Creamery Butter Is abundant and
lower priced. Other grades are steady.
Cheese is selling well and prices are nrn
Ranch Eggs are in active demand and valnes
are still tending upward. Liberal receipts OF
Poultry keep the market dull and prices low.
