Syndicate Holdings.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18th.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18th.
In the Call Board yesterday December
Wheat reached 81 per GENITAL for the first time
In many months. Dealers in the local Wheat
market are looking fer important develop
ments in connection with the enormous mold
tngs of the syndicate within the next few
days That strenuous efforts are being put
forth to dispose of the 10000 tons In the
Port Costa warehouse cannot be longer ques-
toned The end of the season is approaching,
and with the new crop near at hand the hold
ers OF the old stock Will be obliged TO dispose
of their Grain by the end OF the month at the
furthest. 1t was reported yesterday that o2,-
900 tons had changed hands, but this was de-
MED later with the explanation that II such
a quantity was sold, it's buyers would be IN
position to squeeze the holders of the remain
der. This is doubtless SO, for the reported
buyers have already under charter about all
the tonnage in port and considerable of that
due in the near future. Meanwhile the mar
ket is very inactive and prices remain COM
paratlvely low.
In the local produce market yesterday val
ues were not materially different from the
ruling figures of the preceding day. Fresh
Fruits are coming TO hand quite freely, and
prices on most varieties are low and reason
able Strawberries are abundant and selling
literally at low rates. The supply OF Cherries
yesterday was large and prices were lower.
Gooseberries are in excessive supply and the
demand remains rather light, notwlthstand
tng low prices. There were few apricots in
the market yesterday, but sales were slow.
Vegetables are plentiful and cheap. Dried
Fruit appears to be almost neglected, so light
Is the inquiry. Prices are lower, but there is
no increased activity. Butter is arriving in
greater quantities than the demand requires.
and the may be said of Cheese. Eggs
are only fairly steady. Poultry remains un-
changed.
