SAN FRANCISCO, April 1st.
Supplies of nearly all descriptions of Pro-
duce continue to come to hand III greater
quantities than the actual requirements OF
trade. The demand shows some improve
ment in some lines, but generally the drag
ging nature of business remains unchanged
as compared with the close OF the preceding
week. The local Wheat market continues III
the same depressed condition which mas pre-
vailed since the beginning OF the dlspute III
the Call Board over the marginal price Tor
May futures. In Fresh Fruits the limit Is stlil
confined to few varieties, but supplles are
more than liberal. Choice mountain Apples
are held firmly at the quoted rates, put me-
d1um.class stock of which there IS an aoun-
dance is Iow-priced and easy. The demand
for fancy navel Oranges shows 1alrly steady
growth and if pleasant weather continues
dealers anticipate very substantial improve
ment in the near future Seedlings move OH
rather slowly, and mostly in small lots. Mexl-
can Lines are in good supply and prices are
held steady; the demand 10 1alr. NegelaDles
are coming TO hand more freely, and lower
prices have brought about an increased ana
steady inquiry. sales OF Dried fruits con-
tlnue OF tair proportions ana Values are heid ,
quite steady; supplies are still liberia. Dut the
decrease is making good progress mere Is
better demand for export purposes. Ali de-
scriptions of Dairy Produce are moving on III
considerable quantities, but prices are so eX-
tremely low and weak that the situation Is
far from satisfactory tor either producers or
dealers. Shipments OF Butter TO the north
yesterday were the largest for a long IIlne
past. Eggs are not III such heavy supply as
one week ago, but values are easier anu loWef
and the inquiry is naturally less. Gneese -
dull. Poultry cleaned up quite well yester-
day and the quoted prices were held Ialrly
steady.
