Wheat Market Dull and Values Incline
Downward.
Movement of Trade in Fresh Fruits
Not Very Extensive and Trade
Unsatisfactory.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21st
The Wheat market is rather dull and values
are inclined downward. Shippers and miilers
are buying sparingly.
The demand for Fresh Fruits was not very
extensive yesterday and the movement of
trade was, therefore, slow ana rather unsatis-
factory. Receipts of the day were not large,
but owing to the scarcity of buyers there was
an ample abundance on hand, and as dealers
were somewhat anxious to clean up there was
some shading of asking figures during the
afternoon. There was only one carload of
Oranges received yesterday, but the market
was we'll supplied. The stock came from The
south, and was particularly desirable in
quality. Prices on Navels OF the best grade
are held fairly firm, but Seedlings are offering
at low and occasionally variable figures. The
approach of the holidays has brought about
liberal demand for Lady Apples, and choice
lots 6nd ready buyers at the quoted rates
The best quality of table Apples is moving off
well, with values well sustained. The ordi-
nary grades, which are quite abundant, are
also selling freely, but the standard OF prices
rules rather low. Cranberries are being freely
offered, but as supplies are rather moderate,
the quoted prices are firmly adhered TO. Per
simmons are neglected, and there ls scarcely
. any sale for late varieties of Pears now in
market There are small offerings of Grapes,
bat the inquiry has ceased.
Vegetables are meeting with quite good
demand and prices are steady. Dried Fruits
are in good supply. but trade moves slowly
and prices are steady on all desirable stock.
Receipts OF Butter are liberal and the mar
ket has very easy tone. Even the fancy
firmly. The sale Of Eggs shows an increase,
and prices are lairly steady. There is a good
inquiry for Turkeys and prices are higher,
with the tendency still upward. Poultry is
rather quiet.
