Wheat Market Steady, But With
Transactions Less Extensive.
The Northern Portion of the State
Furnishes the First New Crop
Oranges In Market.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 18th


In the local Produce market yesterday the
movement OF faue was ratner SLOW anu
prices were easy.
The Wheat market remains steady, but
with transactions less extensive. In the Call
Board yesterday there was active trading at
advanced rates. May Wheat vaulted up TO
ST O71l Under these circumstances it is
difficult to establish quotations for Wheat for
shipping purposes, as few holders are dis
posed TO sell on a parity with Liverpool quo
tations.
Fresh fruits are limited in variety and what
is now offering is largely of an inferior char
acter. The Oranges which have been coming
TO hand during the past ten days from the
northern portion of the State, and, by the
way, the first new crop Oranges in this mar
ket, are receiving considerable attention by
reason of their excellent quality and flavor.
The prices are at present held quite high, but
with increased receipts there will be decline
80 reasonable figures. This is the second year
that the northern portion of the State has
placed Oranges in this market earlier than
the southern counties.
Choice Apples are in fair supply and dealers
are holding quite firmly for tuil figures. The
medium and inferior grades are SLOW 10
eel except 10 peddlers, and even then at very
low rates. Ounces are very plentiful, but the
inquiry is confined TO the best grades of
stock and prices have an easy tone. The late
varieties OF Pears now III market are IecelV-
ing but little attention, and even concessions
in prices do not appear TO increase the move
ment Berries are still coming to hand in
moderate quantities. but the demand Is light
and prices not well sustained. Grapes are in
tair supply and quoted rates are steady for
choice stock.
Vegetables continue to arrive freely and
sales are of good proportions. Dried FRUITS
are accum Ulating on dealers hands and the
receipts, though small are larger than the re-
Quirements OF trade. The strictly fancy
stock is held firmly, but the large quantities
That Will not grade SO high are dull and easy
at quotations.
Dairy Products are moving off well. Sup
piles OF creamery Butter are fairy large a ana
abundant and hrmer in price.
