san FRANcIsco, March Sd.

SAN FRANCISCO, March Sd.
The Dried Fruit market continues quiet
with trade moving slowly and values easy,
There is some demand for shipment East and
the shippers appear TO prefer mixed carloads
Dealers are advising growers to forward small
or odd lots in order 10 meet this demand
Stocks of Sun-Dried Apples are almost com
pletely exhausted and under a taic inquiry
prices are hrmer. This scarcity has also i'm
proved the market fof-evaporated varieties.
Fancy grades of Peaches bring full quotations,
but there is considerable medlum-class stock
Offering al lower rates. Supplies of Prunes
continue liberal and prices remain un-
changed. Rasins remain dull, with sales at
unchanged figures. Holdings in the East are
| large, and it is useless to send any California
stock in that direction for the present. The
movement of trade in the local Produce mar
ketS is quiet, and, with heavy receipts, there
| is considerable accumulated stock on dealers
hands. There was scarcely any fluctuations
in prices yesterday, values generally being so
| low there was not much room tor further de-
! cline. Navel Oranges are plentiful and. al
| though the inquiry Is steady and fairly large.
| the quoted prices are being shaded. Seedlings
remain in good supply and prices are quite
! We'll sustained. CAOice Apples are wanted,
! but the supply is small. Medium stock sells
| slowly at lOW figures.
! Vegetables are arriving in small lots and
! the Inquiry continues fair.
! Dairy Produce IS in heavy oversupply, and,
| although prices are extremely low, the tgnG-
ency is still downward.
! AL descriptions oil Butter are weak and
] Eggs are Offering almost aJ the buyers valua-
| ton. Cheese Is abundant and rather easy.
! Turkeys are doing little better, but Poultry
genera IS is dull.
! The Wheat market is unchanged, transac-
! tiOns mostly being in futures. There Is very
| little doing Ia shipping.
