But Little Activity in the Wheat Mar
ket at San Francisco.
Stronger Tone Developing in Dried
Fruits, Which Is Expected TO Re-
suit IN an Advance.
sAN FRANCISCO. June 2ad

Wheat shows but little activity outside of
the Call Board. For the first time in long
time there is not disengaged ship in this
harbor
There is not much doing in Dried Fruits
Just at present, but there is a stronger tone
developing which will without doubt result in
an advance in prices on standard grades IN
the near future. The market has been excep-
tionally dull for long time past, but the &C
cumuations OF stock have gradually been
decreasing at very low prices. Advices from
the Eastern States are to the effect that the
Fruit crops in the leading sections are un-
usually short while in this State many To-
caIities VIII have only fractional crops. owing
to late frosts Under these circumstances
buyers have recently gone to the Santa Clara
Valley and other Fruit centers for the pur-
pose of contracting for orchards before grow
ers become aware Of the improved trade situa-
tion. In this market evaporated Apples are
about the only variety Dried Fruit which
meets with good demand. Other lines are
quiet but steady.
The local Produce markets yesterday were
fairy acUlve, and there were but few huctua-
tiOns in prices. ApricOts and Peaches are IN
good supply, and, under a steady demand,
values are well sustained. Cherries are COM
ing to hand freely and choice lots sell readily
Tor full figures Straw berries are plentiful
and sales are eXtens We at the low prices now
prevailing. The demand for Raspberr1es and
lackberrleS Is satisfactory and prices,
though low, are fairly steady. CIOOseberries
are inactive, but choice stock is held for quo
tations. CurTantS are abundant and sales are
liberal, with prices low. Apples and Pears
move oil slowly, but there is considerable
shading OF asking figures. Plums are coming
10 hand in greater variety, but the inquiry
remains light.
Vegetables are in good supply, and prices
are steady. Dairy Products show little
change as compared with the two or three
days preceding yesterday. Butter is held at
the advanced rates, but the market Is easy.
Cheese is unchanged. The demand for eggs
is moderate, but prices are held fairly steady.
Poultry IS quiet and weak.
