SAN FRANCISCO, October 21st.
Sales of nearly all descriptions of both prod
uce and merchandise yesterday were of small
PROPORTIONS. and there were scarcely any fiuc-
tuations in prices as compared with tie pre-
ceding day. Wheat remains depressed, al
though there is lather more inquiry on the
part OF shippers.
Receipts of produce were rather heavy, and
in order to reduce the accumulations Of stock,
which would have TO be carried over Sunday,
dealers made liberal reductions in their ask
ing prices.
This was particularly applied to Fruits.
with The result that quite large quantities
were sold to peddlerS. Peaches are becoming
scarce. and outside limited supply OF fancy
mountain stock there is nothing bringing iuil
figures. Choice Apples are in lair demand
and ne.suppIy is being augmented by some
very fine stock of late varieties which are
held quite firmly for full figures. The inquiry
for Bartlett Pears is light and the supply Is
likewise, so the quoted rates are only fairly
steady. Other varieties OF Pears are plentliul
andloW priced Ounces are freely offered at
low prices, but the demand is very inactive
Just at present. There are very Jew Plums IN
market and they are scarcely worth quoting.
'tne cold weather has caused such decrease
in the Inquiry for Watermelons that but lew
are now seen in market Cantaloupes are be-
coming scarce. Tie several varieties OF Ber-
IleS are IN moderate supply, anu uLuei d ll5hb
inquiry trade moves slowly AT faIher easy
prices Grapes are coming 10 hand in quanl-
Ties well prOpOrtl0ned 10 the demand, anu
strictly fancy stock is held steady at full hg-
1fes. Considerable medium grade STOCK sells
at shaded rates, however. The Dried FRUIT
market remains in a dull, unsatisfactory con-
dition. Supplies are beginning to accumu-
late, and even the low prices now quoted are
being occasionally shaded. Ihe outlook Is
not OF an encouraging nature for sellers.
Dairy Produce moves OF falrIy well. cream
PT far ga "a n
ward tendency. Ranch Eggs are quite firm,
and choice Eastern stock Is steady. Poultry
Is plentiful and prices are easy.
