SAN FRANCISCO, August 10th.
Wheat continues inactive, but while there
liz little doing prices are quite firmly
held. The market for Dried Fruits continues
quiet, but values are well sustained on all
standard grades. Sales are moderate, and
with the exception of new crop stock sold for
future delivery there have been no large
transactions. 1t is reported that several local
firms sold seventy-fve carloads OF French
Prunes for Eastern account, TO be delivered
after r'October 1st. Peaches are receiving some
attention, but prices have been rather low.
There is but little doing in Apricots, and
some fair to good stock is being offered at
shaded rates. The outlook for both trade
and prices is quite satisfactory.
In the local Produce markets yesterdays IS
business was fairIy extensive, ana prices gen.
orally were steady, though in some instances
very low. Peaches are coming to hand i'll
large quantities, and the demand continues
good, with prices very reasonable. Apricots
nre moving of rather slowly, but prices on
choice stock are steady. Bartlett Pears are
In fair supply, and the inquiry appears 10 be
improving. Prices are steady and tending
upward. Nectarines and Figs are neglected.
demand for choice Apples Is good ana sales
are large. WateFneions and CantaloupeS are
abundant and low prices rule the market.
Berries ale in fair supply and sales are lib

Grapes meet with o better inquiry, but there
Is no activity to trade. Beans are quiet. but
prices are held fairly steady. LimaS are
scarce and held firmly Tor full rates. Grow

are trying TO effect an organization to sus-
tam rates, but nothing definite mas yet been
accomplished. White Beans are rather dull,
and as the new crop will soon come To hand
dealers look for lower prices.
