San FRANCISCO, February 17th.
The movement OF trade in the local produce
markets yesterday was fairly large, but
scarcely up to expectations. The receipts of
produce for the day were rather heavy and
there was considerable stock which could not
be graded above medium in quality.
Fresh Fruits are moving off in modern
quantities. but there is little change in values
from day to day. Fancy Navel Oranges are
abundant and dealers are trying to maintain
prices steady, but with partial success only.
Seedlings are selling well at low prices, and
Interchangeable NaveIs also meet with con-
siderable favor. Choice Apples are in light
supply and the quoted rates are held firmly
Mexican Lines are a shade easier and lower
Bananas and other tropical fruits are in good
supply, but the demand is rather light
Prices, however, are fairly steady, partic-
ularly in choice lots. There is scarcely any
demand for Nuts.
Potatoes show a little more activity, and
some varieties OF old stock are higher. Vege-
tables are coming TO hand slowly, but there
is good inquiry and values are well sus-
tanned.
Trade in Dried Fruits is light. There
has been some buying for export account
but 1t has not been sufficiently extensive to
affect prices. The movement Eastward by
rail begins to show some increase.
Dairy Products are in liberal supply and
prices are still on the down grade. Creamery
Butter Is plentiful ana easy. Other varieties
move Oft rather slowly. Cheese is abundant
Eggs are arriving freely and prices are weak
ana lower, sPoultry sells slowly, although
is coming TO hand rather literally. Turkeys
are higher.
The local Wheat market continues in a de-
pressed state, prices low and weak,
