Choice Stocks of Wheat Firmly Held
at San Francisco.
Dealers Discouraged Over the De-
pressed Condition Of the Dried
Fruit Trade.

SAN FRANCISCO, June I'd.
In the local Wheat market the demand is
not extensive, although choice stock is held
quite firmly. The leading shippers are busily
engaged preparing to load the Fair Wheat
they recently purchased, so they will proha-
bly, not buy much additional stock for short
time.
Dealers are considerably discouraged over
the depressed condition of the Dried Fruit
trade, and Their is quite liberal supply SILL
on hand, although the end Of the season is not
far distant. 1t is expected, however, that the
recent damage done by storm and frost IN the
Eastern States to small Fruits and Berries
will be of some benefit to California growers;
In fact, there is already some inquiry from
that quarter. The demand, however, has thus
far only encroached upon the holdings held
at distributing points, and no improvement
IN values or shipping benefits have yet been
derived therefrom. A few small orders from
the North and Northwest, together with
light local trade, constitutes the scope OF the
movement thus far. The quoted prices are
rather easy.
In the local Produce market there was
fair trade movement yesterday, and prices
were substantially the same as on the proceed
Ing day. Strawberries are in good supply
and prices remain low. Cherries are Offering
freely and dealers are shading the asking
prices to effect sales. Raspberries are meet
ing with moderate inquiry and the quoted
figures are fairly steady. GoOseberrles are
plentiful and sell slowly at the quoted rates
Apricots are not very attractive yet and the
demand Is rather light. Pears and Apples are
neglected. Sales of CurrantS are liberal and
prices are reasonable. Oranges are album dant
and sales are moderate. Prices Oh strictly
fancy stock are fairly steady, but medium
grades sell at figures favorable to the buyer
New Potatoes are marked down. Dairy Prod
uce is in heavy supply and prices rule low
and weak. Poultry sells quite well.
