Wheat Market at San Francisco a
Shade firmer.
Cold Weather Has a Depressing Ef-
feet upon the Fruit and Veg
etable Market.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 9TH.
The local produce markets were not very
active yesterday, but values were fairly
well sustained.
The Wheat market is a shade firmer and
spot Wheat is fraction higher.
The cold weather has had very depressing
effect on fresh fruits and vegetables, and sales
are very slow Prices are about as low as they
well get without selling at an absolute
loss, but shading on the part of dealers does
not increase the demand. When buyers show
any disposition TO want certain commodities,
dealers are so anxious to sell that prices VIII
be made to suit. In this way considerable
stock is being disposed of to peddlers.
Receipts of produce yesterday were rather
heavy and stocks in nearly all lines are in eX-
cess of trade requirements.
Among fruit-dealers the auction of five car
loads of Oranges announced for tomorrow
noon is attracting wide attention. The sew
eral firms in the enterprise predict success,
while those not interested are sure the plan
will not prove remunerative. Oranges are in
liberal supply, ana asking prices are both low
and weak. Lines and Lemons are selling
quite well at quoted rates. Choice mountain
Apples will readily bring full figures, but
strictly frst-class stock is scarce Medium
grades are in heavy supply and sell al low
prices. Persimmons are disappearing.
Vegetables are in good supply, but values
steady. All classes OF dried fruits are very
slow TO move. Supplies are too heavy tor
present needs and values are wholly devoid OF
stability.
Sales Of dairy products are extensive.
Creamery and fancy dairy Butter are in large
supply and the quoted figures are weak.
Ranch Eggs are cheap, but selling literally.
Poultry continues to move of quite well at
steady prices, although Turkeys We're lower
yesterday.
