COMMERCIAL.
The Market Depressed, Though Prices
Have Frmer Tendency
The Past Week Showed Fair Vol
ume of Business in Local
Produce Circles.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 10th.


There was fair measure of activity In the
local Produce markets yesterday, and all
things considered, supplies moved off more
freely than dealers anticipated Prices in
some instances were quite steady, although it
was the exception and only applied to
strictly fancy stock. Receipts were liberal,
but not excessive. The local Wheat market
continues depressed, although prices during
the past few days have shown a firmer ten
dency. Trade, however, is very light, except
IN futures.
Ihe demand for Fresh Fruits continues fair
ana gradual increase is noticeable. Prices,
however, remain nearly steady. Fancy Navel
Oranges are in geod supply, and if it were not
Tor considerable medium-grade stock prices
would rule higher. Seedlings are cheap and
the demand is steady. Choice Apples are in
light supply, and prices, though not quotably
higher, are nevertheless frmer in tone. The
medlum-grade stock, which is abundant, Is
variable in value. Vegetables are coming to
hand rather slowly, and, under good de-
mand prices are held steady. Mexican Lines
are freely offered at quoted rates Old Pota-
toes are plentiful, but good stock sells for full
figures. onions are rather scarce, and choice
lots are held firmly. There is Iull in the
Dried Fruit trade, but prices on fancy grades
are no lower. ApricOtS meet with a fair in
quiry ana Peaches are less active. PruneS
are a shade firmer, and indications are for q
slight advance on fancy stock in the near
future. Sun-drled Apples are very scarce and
there is more disposition to buy the evapOr-
ated article. Raisius continue dull. Dairy
Products are plentiful and values are at a
very low standard. Fancy Creamery Butter
is fairly steady at quotations, but all other
descriptions are slow to sell Eggs are album
dant and cheap. Heavy receipts OF Poultry,
considerable of which has C me from the
East, has weakened the market so that prices
are low and easy.
