Markets.
SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 27th.
A general tone OF inactivity pervaded the
local Produce markets yesterday and even
the low prices prevailing for nearly all
commodities were not well sustained.
The days receipts were liberal, and
The demand was moderate. The increase
an receipts was not unexpected, for
during the long period of stormy weather
there were many consignments withheld in
consequence of bad roads and inability of
producers to reach points of shipment. The
supply of fresh Fruits is quite large, although
varieties are necessarily limited. Fancy
Navel Oranges are quite plentiful, but sales
are not as extensive as might be expected,
considering the low price prevailing. Seed
hngs sell readily and choice stock is held
steady. Supplies of Apples are rather heavy,
and, under light inquiry, the quoted rates
are rather easy. Persimmons and Pears move
very slowly. Sales of Bananas, Pineapples
and other varieties of tropical Fruits are
fairly liberal and prices rule quite steady.
Nuts are very dull. Potatoes are in good sup
ply and prices are low but steady. Choice
Sweet Potatoes sell readily at full figures.
Vegetables are coming to hand in more lib.
eral quantities, and, under a good demand,
tie quoted prices are well sustained. The
hrst Asparagus from Alameda County came
10 hand yesterday. The demand for Dried
Fruits appears to be steadily improving, but
prices while becoming nrmer in tone, are not
yet quotably higher. Some few sales Of
Peaches are reported at a slight advance, but
tie lots were small. Dairy Produce is selling
1a!rly well, but prices are low all lines.
Creamery Butter is rather weak, but not
lower. Dairy and packed descriptions are
Nely dull. Eggs are plentiful and prices are
low and weak. Poultry is selling moderately
well at quotations.
