The Wheat Market Not Very Active,
Though Prices Are Steady
The Demand For Fruits Not Exten-
sive-Lower Figures Expected
Soon to Rule.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 9th.

The Wheat market is not very active, al
Slough the quoted prices are held steady.
The volume OF traffic in the local Produce
markets yesterday was fairly large and in
some varieties of Fresh Fruits there was con-
siderable activity. Receipts are gradually as
Stunning larger proportions, and while prices
at present are low, dealers are convinced tnat
even lower figures will soon be in vogue. Inc
demand is not as extensive as it should be.
but it is larger and the market conditions are
better than at this time last year. Peaches
are in moderate supply, but they drag slowly
at the quoted rates. If growers were more
particular in selecting fruit nearer ripe and
packing il more attractively there would not
be any difficulty in obtaining higher prices
than now prevailing. Apricots are selling
fairly well, but values are not well sustained.
A few Plums are now offering, but they are
almost entirely neglected. Cherries are plen-
tiful, and as prices reasonable they move
of quite freely There is some inquiry for the
Mayduke variety for canning purposes, but
the receipts appear 10 be very small. Sales OF
Strawberries continue extensive, and dealers
hold quite steady 10 asking prices. Raspber-
ries are also in demand, with the supply
moderate. Biackberries are still rather scarce.
Currants are coming TO hand more plentifully
and the bulk of stock now Offering is attract
I've and lowpriced. Apples ana Fears are
neglected. Gooseberrles are cheap ana SLOW
to sell.
New Potatoes meet with a good inquiry.
Vegetables are abundant and generally low
priced. Dried Fruits are very dull, and sales
few and mostly in small lots.
Dairy Produce is in good supply, and both
Butter and Cheese remain low. Eggs are held
quite steady.
