But Little Activity in the Wheat Mar
ket at the Bay.
Nearly All Descriptions of Produce
In Heavy Supply-Prices
Generally Weak.
san FRANCISCO. April 9Th.


Nearly all descriptions of Produce COM
modities continue IN rather heavy supply
The demand for local consumption has been
steadily growing, however, during the past
two weeks, and dealers are now more inclined
to hold to their asking figures than at any
time in three months past. 1t is true that
values generally are low, but strictly fancy
grades sell readily at full figures. Recelpts
are not large, and this fact has enabled deal
ers to materially Y reduce accunulatlons- tresh
Fruits are meeting with good inquiry anu
prices are quite steady. Navel oranges make
e very satisfactory display, and frst-class
stock is firmly held at the quoted rates seed
nngs are selling slowly, but values are rather
easy Apples are in good supply ana sales are
moderate, with prices fairly STEADY. LINES
are moving of well, with values a shade
easier. Strawberries are coming TO hand in
small quantities. Vegetables are plentiful
and prices are now sufficiently low to allow a
more general consumption. Sales are quite
extensive. Potatoes are steady. and Onions
are held firmly at the recently advanced
prices. Dried Fruits are receiving fair
measure of attention, and dealers are no
longer complaining OF heavy overstocks. The
inquiry remains good and prices are steadlef
and occasionally higher All descriptions OF
Dairy Produce are in heavy supply and prices
are lower and weak. Butter, Cheese and Eggs
are all dull, and dealers are shading ASKING
figures TO effect sales. Poultry is selling
slowly, with prices poorly sustained. Gro
eerieS and Provisions move of quite well, and
prices are held steady. The local w heat mar
liet developed out little activity yesterday.
Prices were easy and there was not much
trading.
