COMMERCIAL.
The Wheat Market in an Uncertain
State.
Fairly Active Business in Produce Cir
cles, With Few Changes
in Quotations.

fairly active and there were but few nuctua-
tions in prices as compared with the preced-
ing day. Receipts were rather large, put
could not be called excessive The demand
for nearly ali varieties of Fresh Fruits con-
tinues good, but values are at a low standard.
and returns are necessarily unsas ,sfactory 10
producers. The Gamers are not buying as
literally as was expected, but the quantities
they take aid materially in sustaining the
market, even though the prices are low ana
usually under quotations. Peaches are III
good supply and the quoted rates are neld
reasonably steady. The inquiry Is contlnu-
Gus, and some Of the mountain FRUIT now pe-
ginning to come to hand is so attractive that
it sells readily at slight advance on quota
tons. Nectarines are scarce, but there Is al
most no demand. Supplies OF Plums are
rather more extensive than dealers desire,
and it is almost impossible to sustain prices
or clean up stocks. Grapes are plentiful, but
sales are slow, notwithstanding the low prices
prevailing. Bartlett Pears are firmly held,
and supplies, while sufficient for preSent
needs. give evidence OF growing snort. All
other varieties of Pears are very dull. Cholce
ADples are selling well at the quoted prices.
Berries are in fair supply, and meet with a
good, steady inquiry. Oranges continue uuIi
WatermeiOns and cantaloupes were rather
neglected yesterday, the weather being 100
cool to cause demand. egetaDles are dDull-
dant and low priced. Dried Fruits are held
steady, with the demand moderate. Dairy
products are active, and choice Stocks OF Doth
Butter and Eggs are held firmly tor full fig
ures. Eastern Eggs are also selling freely.
Poultry is moving of slowly. The W neat
market is in an uncertain state, and neither
buyer nor seller appears to have any definite
idea as TO the actual status OF trade.
