Wheat Market Inactive and Prices
Rather Easy
Receipts OF Fresh Fruits in Excess of
the Demand and Dealers Are
Shading Prices.

| There was fair measure of activity In the
local Produce markets yesterday, although
prices on nearly all leading commodities
maintain a very low standard of value. The
days receipts were rather large and greater
than actual trade requirements
The Wheat market is inactive and prices
are rather easy.
The demand for Fresh Fruits is growing
steadily, but it scarcely compares with the
increase in receipts. In consequence dealers
are shading prices, and the general tendency
is downward. There was q good active de-
mand for Strawberries yesterday, and al
though the stock now offering cannot be called
strictly choice, owing TO the late rains prices
were advanced over the ruling rates OF the
preceding day. Cherries sell quite well, and,
although prices are low for this period of the
season, they are held steady. Sales of Goose
berries are moderate, and prices are lower
New Potatoes also a fraction cheaper
Vegetables are arriving freely and sales are
extensive, with prices reasonable. DRIED
Fruits remain quiet and dealers report orders
few in number and small in volume. The
stocks now in hand i'll the State are not large,
with the possible exception OF RaisinS, and II
appears to be generally believed that The new
crop will open on cleaned-up market. Inc
Canned Goods trade Is 1a1riy active With
prices steady.
Dairy Produce is in a demoralized condi-
tion, supplies in all lines except Eggs being in
excess OF trade requirements. Fancy Ranch
Eggs are q shade steadier. and good store va
rieties sell readily at the quoted rates. Poultry
moves Oft well at steady prices.
