Demands. and Prices Gener-

SAN FRANCISCO, July 18th.
The movement of trade in the local market
was somewhat improved yesterday owing to
partial resumption OF transportation BY rail
under protection OF United States troops
merchants feel that the railroad strike is on
the verge of collapse, and the situation looks
far more favorable from a business point of
view.
Receipts OF fresh Fruits yesterday were up TO
the average, but the local demand was more
extensive than was expected. In consequence
values were held steadier, and IN some lines
strictly fancy stock was held higher Peaches
are selling quite well, although stocks are
still greatly ID excess OF actual requirements.
Aprieots are moving off very slowly at the
quoted rates. Cherries are very ull ana
cheap, the demand for them seeming TO have
decreased very materially during the past few
days. Strawberries are in moderate supply
and the better grades are quite firmly held.
Raspberries and Blackberries are abundant
and low prices prevail. Apples and Pears are
slow TO sell. The inquiry tor Watermelons
and Cantaloupes is very small. Supplies OF
Currants are not very heavy and values are a
shade steadier. Vegetables are plentiful and
sales are freely mace at quoted rates. There
Is no change In the Dried Fruit market, prices
being firm and supplies scarce.
In Dairy products the situation is rather
ing ranch Eggs, are liberal and prices are on
the down grade. A few special brands of
fancy Creamery Butter are alone held at
STEADY ngures, while for other grades the
quoted rates readily shaded.
Poultry is very slow TO sell and weak. The
movement In the local Wheat market is
nght, and While the quoted rates are said to
be steady, buyers find no difficulty in obtain
Ing concessions.
