Receipts of Dried Fruits in Excess of
Present Demands.
Tho Wheat Market Develops But
Little Activity, Though Holders are
Firm in Asking Prices.

SAN Francisco, October 9Th.
Dried Fruits are coming to hand quite
freely, In fact the receipts are considerably IN
excess of present demands, but at this par
ticular part of the season such condltloh
may be expected. There is d moderate III
quiry for account of Eastern trade, but tnere
Ia still an abundance of room for improve
ment On strictly choice lots prices are helu
quite steady but buyers for consumption ap-
pear TO obtain the benefit OF slightly lower
rate on the better grade OF medium class
stock. At this time, the beginning oil new
season, there is OF course an abundance OF
this quality obtalnable, and for that reason
the tirst-class standard grades are Tlne
slow. The belief is prevalent however, that
as soon as the medium varieties are worked
Oft the attention of buyers Will be directed TO
the best stock, and that prices on the latter
will be more favorable 10 sellers. The steady
inquiry for new-crop Apricots has encouraged
holders to demand higher rates, and some
BALES at slight advance are reported. reaches
continue unchanged and steady but buyers
are SO backward that a decline would not be
a surprise. Apples are very dull, ana prices
Glow and variable.
New-crop Almonds and WalnutS are now
being offered, and values are well sustained
at quotations.
In the local produce markets the volume OF
trade yesterday was not very heavy. Receipts
We're liberal, but fairly well distributed early
in the day.
Grapes are plentiful but the prices being
realized by growers cannot be said 10 be as
renuneraLive on choice lots as they should
be-. Medium class stock is too abundant
however, TO warrant any 1irm holding ON the
choice lots. The demand Tor ounces Is light
and prices remain low Apples are selllng
fairly well.
Vegetables meet with good steady inquiry
at the quoted rates
The Wheat market develops but little ac-
