SAN FRANCISCO, May 9th.
There was a fair measure of activity in the
local produce and merchandise markets yes
terday, and prices for nearly all the leading
commodities were well maintained Receipts
OF produce are gradually on the increase, al
though the aggregate is only moderate and
well proportioned 10 the demand. The Wheat
market is very dull and even the speculative
movement is easier. In Fresh Fruits the
movement of trade is steady and developing
considerable volume Dealers are pleased at
the outlook and they are less disposed to
shade their asking prices to effect sales. In
fact, the buyers are not asking concessions as
much as formerly. The sales of Oranges and
Citrus Fruits at the tri-weekly auctions are
more largely attended and bidding is active.
Fancy Navels are held firmly at the quoted
rates and even medium class stock Is in
more active demand. Mexican Lines are in
moderate supply and prices are steady. Ap-
pies of good quality are not plentiful and
sales are not extensive although prices are
steady. Strawberries are coming to hand IN
liberal quantities, and as prices are now quite
reasonable the demand is large Raspberries
continue scarce. Receipts OF Cherries are fair,
but the high prices prevailing prevent general
inquiry. Strictly choice grades are still scarce,
however. Vegetables are abundant and gen.
orally low-priced. Summer Squash were
among yesterday s receipts. Dried Fruits are
active, with values firmly held. The demand
for shipment is on the increase and higher
prices are looked for. Dairy Produce is NOV
ing of well, with but little change in prices
from day 10 day. Eggs are a shade steadier
and some Eastern stock is being Off red.
Creamery and fancy dairy Butter are un-
changed but easy. Poultry is quiet, with sup
plies rather excessive.
