Demand for Fresh Fruits
Active.

SAN Francisco, June gath.
The demand for spot Wheat is very small
ana the movement of trade is inactive.
FUTURES have been improving, except during
the past two or three days, when the tendency
mas been downward. The present Wheat mar
AeI Is on fictitious basis-that is. above the
parity OF the English market-and, as there is
no telling what the present heavy holders are
gong to do with their stock the situation is
700 uncertain and unsteady TO form conelu-
SONS as to the near future. 1t IS estimated
that the syndicate which dealt so heavily in
May Wheat has control OF over 15O,OOO tons
and they are still buying. The export move
ment meanwhile Is al a standstiIl. Spot Bar
ley, owing to light receipts, has maintained a
fairly steady price until the last few days,
when sellers have shown a disposition TO re-
duce their asking figures. Supplies OF Corn
are not very heavy, il consequence OF the eX-
tensive shipments to Mexican and Central
American ports. Prices are steady, but trade
is DUH. Other cereals are inactive and values
generally are easy. IN the local produce mar
ket the demand for fresh Fruits continues
active, but prices are very low and the ten
dency is downward. Peaches meet with fair
inquiry at the quoted rates. Pe,rs and Apples
are IA good supply, but rather slow to sell.
Strawberries are selling well but, under heavy
receipts, values are lower and easy. Black
berries are IN excessive supply and cheap.
Cherries are moving OF slowly, and the mar
ket is In favor OF buyers. Currants are plenti-
LuI ana low-priced. Dairy Produce is arriving
Freely ana, although sales are quite large,
prices remain low and rather irreg ular on ali
descriptions except fancy creamery Butter and
selected ranch Eggs Poultry is very dull and
prices are being shaded.
