SAN FRANCISCO. July 28th.
The Wheat market at present IS OF lalrly
active character.
The demand for Canned Fruits is develop
ing good measure of activity, and dealers
are holding firmly to asking figures on almost
all new-crop stock. There is growing IN
quiry from the East. but thus far the diIter-
ence OF opinion between Eastern wholesalers
and jobbers and California packers has Deeh
very wlde-in fact, so much so that business
has been considerably retarded. There are
numerous Eastern buyers here, but they
either do not intend TO purchase largely OF
else they believe that by holding on they Will
finally succeed in securing what they desire
al figures lower than the present schedule
rates. H. on the other hand, the Eastern
dealers conclude to make the California pack
ers carry the stocks. it is doubtful II any OF
the conservative packers have any objection
10 that course. California has the fruit. and
it is known that the fruit crop in nearly all
the Eastern States is short Under all circum-
stances the outlook for the maintenance OF
steady prices appears favorable Tor TINS STATE.
The aggregate sales thus lar are nearly Ine
same as last year, and there are several eA-
tensive territories not yet in the field as BUY
ers. New buyers are constantly coming lAto
the field, ana the occasionally repeated state
Fruits is declining IS wholly without founda-
ton. IN the local produce market yesterday
GALES were liberal and There was q good, STEADY
inquiry for nearly all leading commodities,
particularly fresh fruits. supplies OF Peaches
continue heavy, and even the very low prices
do not appear TO clean up the accommodations
on dealers hands. Apricots are low priced
and meet with a fair inquiry. mere Is AOG
much demand for NectarInes, and values are
easy. Good Pears are held quite steady, ana
Apples are dull and cheap Plums Sell rather
gully a M
figures. Berries are plentiful ana cheap.
Watermelons and Cantaloupes are IN aDund-
ant supply, and the quoted rates are being
shaded.
Dried Fruits are receiving more attention at
the hands of buyers but sales are light
Prices are held steady, however
Dairy Products are selling well at the
quoted prices. Poultry is dull, and there is
not much stability 10 values.
