Fair Measure of Activity in the San
Francisco Produce Market.
Pleasant Weather Has a Beneficial
Effect on Trade-Increased
Inquiry for Fruits.
san FRANcIsco. February gath


local Produce market yesterday, although
prices generally were low and occasionally be-
ing shaded where dealers happened to have
over large stocks on hand. The pleasant
weather had beneficial effect on trade that
was plainly noticeable in an increased IN
quiry for Fresh Fruits.
Receipts of Produce were not greater thah
the daily average for some days past sup
plies Of both Navel and Seeding oranges are
quite large and the quoted rates are not par
ticularly steady. LINES are IN moderate sup
ply and sales are readily effected at equoted
prices. Lemons are plentiful and rather We ak
In price The demand for Apples appears 10
be confined largely TO the fancy red varieties,
the medium grades selling only al low prlc s.
Supplies of Vegetables are well maintained
by more liberal receipts and prices are lower.
This fact mas also increased the inquiry. 20
totoes are held quite steady, and onions,
while little lower than on Friday, are never
theless in very moderate supply and held
steady at the quoted rates.
Dried Fruits OF all descriptions continue
dull and only move off in small quantities:
Stocks on hand are still largely in excess OF
the present requirements.
sales OF Dairy Produce are extensive, but
there is weak tone to the market ana
prices are both low and easy. Poultry
yesterday was doing peller than Ior some some
days preceding, particularly young stock
While supplies are not so excessive, there is
an ample suficiency.
The local Wheat market yesterday was
rather quiet, and even the buying element in
the Call Board appeared to lack enthusiasm.
Shippers are buying moderately, but milling
grades are very slow.
