SAN FRANCISCO, May 9th.
The local produce and merchandise markets
developed lair measure of activity yester-
day, and supplies of produce cleaned up quite
well. Prices were held steady and the good
demand encouraged dealers to maintain their
asking figures tor nearly all the leading coIn-
modities. The retail trade bought more I'D
orally than usual for the last day OF the WEEK.
and there was less disposition TO demand COLI
cessions. Receipts of produce were mooerate
and well distributed Navel Oranges are In
good supply and the quoted rates are heio
steady. Seedlings are rather dull under
light INQUIRY. Lemons sell fairly well. LINES
are scarce. but some 700 boxes are expected
Tomorrow Strawberries are coming 10 mana
In liberal quantities and the low prices ruling
have given an impetus 10 trade, SO tnat the
demand for local consumption Is assuming
large proportions. Raspberrles are stlll ratner
scarce. and Gooseberries are more abundant
than the market requires. Cherries are in
rather heavy supply, but strictly choice stock
forms only a small portion of present offer-
ings Prices are quite moderate. Early Nege-
tables are making good display, and under
liberal receipts prices are low. DRIED frulls
are becoming very scarce, and even the me-
i. ..dium grade stock is being well cleaned up az
fair prices. The demand continues steady ana
receipts are light. Dairy Products are moving
of well. although values are not up 10 the e1-
pectations of either dealers or producers;
Creamery and fancy dairy Butter are IN good
supply and the present low prices are quite
easy. Eggs of the best grade are nrmer an q
held steady at the advance. Cheese Is helo
firmly, but prices are unchanged. Pouitry IS
dull, with supplies heavy. Young STOCK sells
fairly well, but old stock is not wanted
