Wheat Depressed, But Shippers Max
ing More Active Inquiry.
Fresh Fruits Abundant, Dealers Be-
ing Unable to Clean Up
Stocks on Hand.
So FRANc1sco. August sta.

AL descriptions OF Produce are In heavy
supply, and prices generally remain low and
weak. Receipts yesterday were not much
above the average. but the demand for local
consumption was not up to expectations.
Wheat remains depressed, but shippers are
making a little more active inquiry. Fresh
Fruits are abundant, and, although sales are
large, dealers find it impossible to clean up
stocks. Peaches are coming TO hand In liberal
quantities from all sections, and considerable
stock is being sold at less than the quoted
rates. Apricots meet with moderate inquiry,
but in comparison with receipts sales are
small. Bartlett Pears are selling rather slowly,
and 1t is only the strictly fancy fruit which
will bring quotations. Mountain Apples are
held quite steady, but the large quantities OF
medium stock on the market are selling al
most at the buyers valuation. Cherries have
almost disappeared. but there is scarcely any
sale for the small lots offering. Berries of all
descriptions are in heavy supply, and even
the low prices ruling cannot be sustained
Plums are almost wholly neglected. Water
melons and Cantaloupes are plentlIul, Dut
very dull. Vegetables meet with a good sale
at very low figures Tomatoes were almost
unstable yesterday afternoon, so excessive
was the stock on hand. Potatoes are easier at
quotations. Dried Fruits show scarcely any
change, the inquiry continuing very light
Sales OF Dairy Produce are large, and the
prices on fancy Creamery and Dairy Butter
maintain quite firm tone. Ranch Eggs are
selling well. but values are not tirm. Cheese
IS unchanged. Poultry is slow to sell, even at
present low prices.
