But Little Doing in the Produce Mar
ket at San Francisco.
The Demand for Fresh Fruits Not
Sufficient to Consume
Supplies.
San FRANcfsco Aug 12tn.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 18TH.
There was but little doing in the local Pro-
nuce market yesterday and prices for all coin
znodities remain both low and weak. In
fresh Fruits the demand continues exten-
siye out 1t is far from being sufficient to con-
sumo supplies Choice Apples are meeting
with s very good inquiry at the quoted rates,
but the medium grades are dull and slow to
sell, even at shaded rates. Fancy Peaches are
Icing freely offered and prices are very low.
Apricots sell fairly well, and as the season IS
well advanced for this fruit there is less com
paint about excessive supplies. Bartlett
Pears are in heavy supply, and although
prices are still very low the indications are
tor further decline There is scarcely any
inquiry for Nectarines or Figs. Grapes are
attracting more attention and the quality of
recent receipts is excellent. Prices however,
are low and weak. WatermeIons and Canta-
aoupes arc in heavy oversupply and the
quoted figures are not well sustained. Plums
are neglected and shading the asking prices
fails to effect sales. Berries OF all varieties are
an good supply and cheap, but the inquiry ap-
pears To be rather light. Dried Fruits are
moving rather slowly and prices nave very
easy tone.
IN Dairy Produce the demand is steady and
quite extensive. Creamery Butter is tirmly
held at the recently advanced price ana
Eanch Eggs OF the best grade also have an
upward tendency. Cheese is unchanged.
Poultry is plentiful ana dull
The Wheat market is quiet and shippers are
buying sparingly.
Mining Shares yesterday were quite steady
Rnd prices were occasionly higher.
