Nearly all Descriptions of Produce
Quiet at Low Prices.
The Demand for Fresh Fruits of Small
Proportions, and Gradually
on the Decline.
SAX FRANc1sco. October 18th

SAN FRANCISCO October 18th.
Nearly all descriptions of Produce were
quiet yesterday, and with low prices and slow
movement of trade dealers were discouraged.
Receipts were rather above the average, and
10 avoid carrying heavy stocks over Sunday
there was a general disposition 10 shade ask
ing prices. Even this, however. failed to draw
custom sufficient 10 enable floors TO be cleaned
up.
The demand for fresh Fruits is OF small pro-
portions, and it appears to be gradually on
The decline. Grapes are in quite liberal sup
ply and the inquiry, though not very extern
sive, is nevertheless greater than Tor any other
variety of fruit. Strictly fancy stock is NOV
ing Off fairly we'll and dealers are endeaNor-
ing TO hold steady for full figures. Good WINE
Grapes are a shade firmer, and the quoted
rates are well sustained. supplies of fancy
Peaches are scarce, but values are weak and
low on both free and cling-stone varieties
Poor stock is abundant and selling at eXcep-
tionally low prices. The receipts OF Bartlett
Pears are smaller than week ago, and prices
again have an upward tendency. Pluns are
selling very slowly at the quoted rates.
Watermelons and Cantaloupes are still COM
ing 10 hand, but there is practically no de-
nand and prices are low. Ounces remain IN
good supply and dull. Figs are almost wholly
neglected.
TO awaken Eastern buyers. The outlook Is not
favorable to the selling interest.
Creamery and in fact all other grades of
Butter are selling rather slowly, with prices
weak. Ranch Eggs are scarce ana held tlrlnly
at the advanced ngures. Poultry Is dull ana
low priced.
TheIocaI Wheat market is devoid of inter-
est. Transactions are light and prices slow.
