DAN FRANCISCO, July 21st.
Business in nearly all lines of both Produce
and Merchandise continues very inactive, and
values generally are almost devoid OF sta
bllity. The movement Of freight by rail is
gradually on the increase and this fact has
had beneficial effect in permitting dealers TO
Ill country orders and at the same time re-
duce the heavy accumulations. Receipts OF
produce yesterday were large, but the demand
was rather light as compared with The pre-
ceding day. sales of fresh fruit continue ex-
tensive but the prices realized are so low that
returns are unsatisfactory to growers. Straw
berries are IN good supply. and the pest
varieties are held quite steady; the common
grades are plentiful, very low priced ana Ia
moderate demand. Blackberries ana hasp-
berries are coming to hand freely. and, al
though sales are large. values remain low and
weak. Cherries are becoming less plentiful,
but supplies are more than ample for the de-
nand. Peaches are selling well. but the ruI-
ing prices are very low, ana even fancy STOCK
does not readily bring null dgures. Apricots
are quiet and cheap. Bartlett Pears are sell
ing very slowly, but present stock is not very
attractive Apples are IN good supply and
selling fairly well. There is no demand for
Figs and Plums, and Nectarines are dull.
Vegetables are arriving freely and selling
We'll. sales Of Dried Fruits are light, and the
present outlook is not Of an encouraging ma
ture. Prices remain unchanged. Creamery
Butter Is nrmer and dealers are holding fancy
stock for higher figures There was q slight
advance est tabiished yesterday, and q further
upward movement is expected in a few days
Other varieties of Dairy Produce are in heavy
supply and low priced. Poultry continues in
active, with the prices weak. Wheat remains
very dull in the local market. Sales are light
and buyers are holding OF. The export trade
Is at standstill.
