SAN FRANCISCO. Nav 12t

SAN FRANCISCO. May 18th.
In the local Produce markets yesterday the
movement of trade was active, and prices of
several varieties were firm and higher.
The Wheat market is quiet and the volume
Of trade is light.
Oranges are plentiful and low-priced. The
warm weather has largely increased the
inquiry, and prices yesterday were held
stead1er on choice stock. Strictly fancy
Navels were higher. Strawberries were in
active demand yesterday, and as receipts
were rather light prices took an upward start
early in the day and remained steady at the
advance Black and Red Cherries of the
best quality met good sale, and the quoted
rates were held firmly. The supply of Cur
rants was small, and only a portion of the
stock was attractive. Gooseberries are plenti-
full, and values are very low and weak.
The market for Dried Fruits continues dull
and there is but little strictly fancy stock
moving. The demand for medium-grade
varieties is moderate and sales generally
small at low figures. Dealers are somewhat
exercised over reports from Chicago to the
eject that the wholesale grocers of this city
have adopted resolution whereby they viii
insist upon taking l per cent on their pur-
chaSes of California Dried Fruits, irrespective
Francisco Fruit Exchange will doubtless take
some action on this matter in a few days
This is the same action that was attempted
by Texas dealers q short time ago. but the
objections of the local Exchange served to
cause an abandonment of the intention
Vegetables are coming to hand freely, and
under good demand prices are quite well
sustained.
Dairy Produce Is in excessive supply, and
prices throughout weak, with u down
ward tendency. The only exception is Eggs,
which appear to hold up well under good
inquiry, with moderate receipts Young
Poultry is firm.
