Damage to Fruits From Frost Not so
Great as First Reported.
Rumors That the Apricot Crop Was
Almost Wholly Destroyed
Greatly Exaggerated.
San FRANC1sco. March "a, 1895.


During the past few days there have beer
many reports in circulation to the effect tina
the growing Fruit crops have been severely
damaged by frost in nearly all the leading
localities. Dealers are now receiving letters
from growers in the most prominent sections
ana the general opinion appears TO be thal
while frost has wrought considerable damage
1t is not as extensive as at first reported. In
some places the early Apricots were reported
as mpletely ruined. Advices show that this
was greatly exaggerated. Growers write thai
the effect of the frost looked much worse al
first than it has since. Trees that then ap
peared to be almost bare now look as if they
would turn out moderate yield. The market
for Dried Fruits has good steady tone, with
out, however any great volume of business
Pl ices on choice stock are well sustained. In
the local produce markets trading yesterday
was fairly active and values were about the
same on the preceding day. Fancy Navel
Oranges are plentiful and reasonable in price.
The medium-sized stock, however, is still a
1Sctor which intertereS with the volume Ot
transactions in the best varieties. Seedlings
continue to sell freely at the quoted rates.
Choice Apples are steady in price, but sales
are slow. Common stock is very dull. Nege.
tables are offering quite poorly stquoted rates
The inquiry Tor POULTRY is good, and young
stock brings full figures. Dairy Products are
III heavy supply, and prices are low, Butter
Is Still accommodating, and many dealers are
shading their asking figures. Eggs are held
quite firmly at quotations. Cheese is abun
dapt and easy. The Wheat market is inact
i've, although there Is a moderate amount Of
business in progress all the time. Prices are
rather easy.
