PRODUCE EXCHANGE NOT IN
SESSION,
Vegetables Generally in Large Supply
Butter Stocks ACCum-
ulating.
San Francisco, May I'd.


The Produce Exchange having adjourned
from yesterday noon until Monday morn
ing out of respect to the memory of Presi-
dent w. A. Holcomb there were no deal
ings in cereals to-day.
Native Tomatoes are in large supply and
lower. Peas are doing little better under
lighter receipts; some sweet go above the
top quotation. A few Mushrooms arrived
to-day. New Potatoes are in lighter sup
ply, but there are quite lot held over
and prices are weak. Rhubarb is a drug;
1t is hard to move, as the consumers have
had enough. While receipts of Asparagus
were heavier than yesterday, still it sold
well and extra brought better prices; 1t
is only the very small stuff that goes at
the lowest quotation.
There was a good demand for Straw
berries to-day and prices took quite a
jump; receipts were 52S chests, being 13S
chests more than yesterday: few clean,
large berries brought ST. RaspberrieS and
GooseberrieS are still in light receipt. Cher
rieS arrived to the extent of 412 boxes,
being heavier than yesterday by H. boxes,
and prices We're not materially changed;
the amount of cracked Cherries arriving
causes the low figures. Four cars OF
oranges and one car of Lemons arrived.
Ihere are not great many Oranges mere,
but the demand is lacking, and then again
the trash received keeps prices down.
appear to be accommodating to a small eX-
tent; when packing ceases and the Alas
Kan and northern demand in general lets
up prices Will likely come down. Cheese
continues weak and drop in prices is not
far off. Eggs are quite weak, although not
quotably lower; the better grades hold
their prices fairly well, but the common
Eggs go for almost any price. There are
too many Eastern and Oregon Eggs here:
altogether too many for the good of the
California article.
