COMMERCIAL.
But Little Doing in the Produce Mar
kets at San Francisco.
Shippers Buying Moderate Quantities
of Wheat, and Prices Are
Fairly Steady.
SAN FRASc1sco. March IN

There is but little doing in the local Produce
markets and supplies continue heavy, with
values low and poorly sustained. Receipts
yesterday were exceptionally small, but the
liberal carry-over stocks were more than
abundant to provide for all requirements.
Dealers are complaining considerably over
the slow trade movement and the almost uni
versal demand on the part Of buyers for the
shading OF asking prices.
Sales of fresh Fruits are generally small
and the prices obtained are unsatisfactory 10
both dealer and producer. Fancy Navei
Oranges are held fairly steady at the quoted
rates, but the market is heavily stocked with
medium and inferior stock, which, OF course.
sells at reduced figures. Red Apples are in
moderate supply and the best varieties are
quite firmly held. Lines are in good supply
and sales are of fair proportions.
Vegetables are being freely offered, and un-
der a good inquiry the prices are steady.
In the local Wheat market trade was very
QuieN yesterday. Shippers are buying in mod
crate quantities ana prices. though low, are
fairly steady. In the Call Board the Specula-
tive movement has, for the time being, come
to afstop, but the bull element are only rest
ing<and their operations will be resumed as
soon as the market draes slowly enough to
suit their ideas OF what in a proper time TO in
augurate another seige. The shorts are still
rather anxious, for the process OF fliling has
not been4as easy as they had hoped for. How
ever, thefshortage now is largely decreased as
compared with two weeks ago.
Dried Fruits are selling very slowly and
heavy stocks and low prices are still the feat-
ureS OF the smarket.
Dairy Prokiuce sells well. but values con-
tinue on thedown grade. Creamery and fancy
roll Butter are lower and weak. Eggs are
steadier, butno higher. Poultry is not in such
heavy supply, but prices are exceedingly dull
