tinues to Grow More
Favorable.

san FRANCISCO. August 4th.
The local Wheat market has a firm tone,
put sales OF spot lots are not very large.
The outlook for Canned Salmon continues
10 grow more favorable. There is an encour-
aging inquiry from the Eastern States, and
the demand for home consumption gives
every Indication of being larger than last
year. 1t is still TOO early to give an estimate
OF what the pack VIII be, but advices from
the various stations show that the work is
progressing satisfactorially. In consequence
Of the steady demand for this commodity
there has been a tendency on the part OF dis
trioutors to slightly advance prices above the
ruling rates at the opening OF the season.
This is particularly so with reference to
Alaska stock The present stock has been
reduced to a very small quantity, and buyers
are beginning TO desire early receipts Of the
new season pack but it Is doubtful If any con-
siderable quantity can be expected tor at
least month yet.
In the lOcal Produce markets the condition
Of trade yesterday was fair, ana prices were
generally well sustained. Receipts were
quite large, but the distribution effected carry
IN the day, and there was therefore not mucn
complaint about excessive Accommodations.
Peaches make very attractive display, Out
the offerings are SO large that prices rule low,
and returns to growers cannot be very sallS-
factory. Gamers are buying moderately,
when prices and quality suit. Aprtcots are
selling quite Well but II there was less
medium grade stock among the receipts,
prices would certainly be better. Nectarines
are in moderate supply, but the demand is
small. Plums meet with a lair inquiry, with
the quoted rates held steady on choice stock.
Pears are selling rather slowly but dealers
hold the best grade of Bartletts TOR full
figures. The demand Tor grapes continues
quite small and even the low prices quoted
are being shaded. Watermelons and Canta-
lOupes are plentiful, but with the inquiry
gOOQ values are held steady.
Vegetables are in good supply and sales are
extensive. New-crop Dried Fruits are coming
10 hand slowly. Prices are steady. and sales
moderate
Creamery Butter is firm, and occasional
sales of selected brands are reported at d
traction above quotations. Receipts OF Cheese
are liberal, but prices are steady. Choice
ranch Eggs are firmly held.
