Wheat Market Inactive and Values
Oh the Down Grade-Fresh
Fruits Neglected.
SAX FRANCISCO. December l 9Th.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 10th.
Nearly all descriptions Of Produce were
very dull yesterday, and supplies were SO
plentiful that dealers did not attempt TO hold
stock for asking figures. In fact there was
scarcely anything moving off as it should.
Receipts of the day were large, but not as ex-
tensive as on the preceding day.
The Wheat market is inactive and values
are on the down grade.
Fresh Fruits are very much neglected just
a. pr, sent, the cool weather and general dull
ness Of trade operating together to the disad-
vantage of both dealer and producer. Fancy
Navel Oranges are coming to hand freely, and
the best stock is held firmly for high figures,
but the medium class stock, of which there is
an abundance, is selling almost at the buy
erS' valuation. Supplies of Seedlings are llo-
eral and the demand is moderate. Mexican
LINES are in fair supply and the quoted rates
are held firmly. Bananas and other tropical
fruits meet with rather light inquiry, al
though prices are steady. AS the holiday
season approaches the demand for Nuts show
an increase. Choice Apples are selling quite
well at the quoted prices. There were more
Berries in the market yesterday anu prices
were a little lower.
Potatoes of strictly fancy grade are scarce
and held steady, but ordinary stock is In
abundant supply and cheap. Vegetables are
selling well, with values quite We'll sustained,
though low.
Dried Fruits are in good supply and remain
inactive. The offerings are rather heavy as
compared with the volume of trade and prices
are quite Irregular. Dealers are discouraged
with the outlook.
Dairy Products are moving of well al
though values are low. Yesterday there was
considerable uncertainty as TO the Butter
market for the coming week. Ranch Eggs
are easy, and Eastern stock Is selling freely.
turkeys are very dull and weaker III price.
