Wheat Market Continues in a Very
Unsatisfactory Condition.
The New Crop OF California Raisins
Receiving Considerable Atten-
tion-Fresh Fruits Steady.
San FRANCISCO, September 15t


The Wheat market continues in a very un-
satisfactory condition for sellers.
New crop California Raisins are receiving
considerable attention just now by repre-
sentatives of Eastern buyers. and the sales OF
the past few days have attained liberal pro-
portions. Prices which shave been dragging
for such long time have been Strengthening
by this increased inquiry, and STOCK tnaI VIII
grade as No. or fancy is held at shghtiy
higher figures, with fair measure oI hrln-
ness on the part OF holders. The seeuless Va
reties particularly are wanted, ana the prices
being paid are more satisfactory. 10 sellers
than Tor long time past. The general tone
OF the market tor Dried Fruits continues
quiet, but values appear to be well sustained
at quotations, not so much on account OF safes
OF small lots, but sellers have confidence that
the market conditions and the outlook war
rant maintenance OF asking rates. In con-
sequence of the light crop of Bartlett Pears
and the scarcity of choice stock, there IS a
good steady demand for dried evapo.ateo
quarters, and sellers find no difficulty in OBJ
tanning asking prices. Aprlcots, PeacheS anu
PruneS are quiet but steady.
The demand for Fresh Fruits remains
about steady, with few changes IN prices
Choice Peaches are scarce, and held STEADY
Plums are in fair supply for the inquiry;
Cantaloupes and WatermelonS are plentlIul
and very dull. Choice apples meet Win a
moderate demand, with quoted prices quite
steady. Berries are moving of rather slowly.
Vegetables sell well at reasonable prices.
While the rain has damaged the Bean crop IN
some sections, the section where Lima Beans
are grown has had.cOntinuous clear weather.
Prices in the local market are rather easy,
however, on nearly all varieties.
Creamery Butter is in liberal supply, but
the recent decline in prices has stimulated the
demand a little. Eggs are In fair supply, an q
prices are held steady. Cheese Is moving OH
fairly well. Poultry is dull.
