COMMERCIAL.
Fairly Good Trade in the Produce
Market.
Fresh Fruits Plentiful, All Grades
From Fancy to Common Being
Freely Offered.
san FRANCISCO. July 9TH.

In the local Produce market yesterday the
movement of trade was fairly good, although
there was considerable shading of asking
prices.
Fresh Fruits are plentiful, and all grades
from fancy TO common are being freely Of
fered. Peaches are in heavy supply, put
strictly choice stock is rather scarce and held
for full figures. The supply of cherries con-
tinues fair and values are well sustained.
Apricots are meeting with good steady IN
quiry at the quoted rates. Pears are dull and
apples are only fairly active. Plums sell
rather slowly. Strawberries remain low
priced, and sales are large Raspberries and
Black berries continue to come to hand In
liberal quantities, and the moderate prices
cause them to receive considerable attention
at the hands of buyers.
There is some shipping demand for good
Potatoes, and prices are a shade hrmer-
Vegetables generally sell well at quoted
prices.
Dried Fruits show but little change. The
demand for choice Apricots is steadily IN
creasing. Recent receipts OF new crop Aprl-
cots have not been up TO standard, anu Ior
that reason have been difficult TO place.
Dairy Produce remains steady, with sup
plies fair and the demand quite good.
The supply OF Lima Beans is exceptionally
small, and the quoted rates are higher than
1or many months past. and are hrmly sus-
tanned. The present outlook Tor the growing
crop is good, but there Will be no excess, and
growers consider their situation so strong
that there Is talk of forming an organization
tor the purpose OF better controlling the new
crop and maintaining prices. a meeting OF
growers was held in Ventura County Il lew
days ago for this purpose, but thus 1ar the
movement has not assumed tangible shape.
Local dealers are OF the opinion that the pres
ent prices Will remain steady tOr some Time 10
come. Other varieties OF Beans are inactive,
and the demand is generally for small lots
with prices at rather d wide range.
