SAN FRANCISCO. September 2d.

SAN FRANCISCO, September Cd.
The movement of trade in the local Mer-
chandise and Produce markets yesterday was
Iairly large, but prices in most instances re-
main low and rather weak Receipts were
above the average but well distributed. The
Wheat market shows little activity and
prices are depressed. The demand for Fresh
Fruits shows but little change from day to
day. Fancy Peaches are in moderate sup
PLY and dealers are holding quite firmly to
the recent advance in prices. Medium stock
ID selling freely to peddlers at slightly shaded
rates. Bartlett Pears are held steady and
choice stock is rather scarce for the time
being. Nectarines are. being freely offered,
but the inquiry cannot be said to be exten-
slYe. Apples of the best grade are meeting
with fair demand and asking figures are
quite steady. The varieties of Grapes are
more numerous and the inquiry is steadily
growing. Receipts are becoming larger, how
ever, and sales are occasionally being made at
figures below quotations. The demand for
Watermelons and Cantaloupes is good, but
under heavy recei pts the prices are lower ant
tending downward. Vegetables OF all de-
ScriptiOns are selling freely, and the quoted
prices on some varieties are easy. Dried
Fruits are inactive and the new stock now
coming to hand is considerably in excess of
the requirements OF trade. Prices, however.
are held fairly steady, though low. Dairy
Produce sells literally and the general tone OF
values Is fair. Creamery Butter is easy and
tending downward, while kaneh Eggs are
steady and Eastern stock is tending upward.
Poultry remains quiet, with prices ductuating
put little.
