make concessions to effect sales. Limited
amount of trading in Oats ana corn the
former is firm and the latter continues
weak
The market is literally supplied with To-
tatoes, particularly river stock, and prices
are weak and lower Sweet Potatoes are
doing better Receipts Of Onions have
been heavier than the market can stand,
and prices have dropped
No improyement noticeable in Fruits,
excepting possibly in Wine Grapes and
fancy Bartlett Pears. Table Grapes are
dragging and white varieties go as low
as 15c per box; Isabellas are coming in
more freely. There was some demand for
shipping to-day, mostly Apples. A Few
crates of Nectarines are offerlng at 81
per crate but are not wanted. Some large
Strawberries brought up to "a per chest.
Receipts of Berries in general were light
and moved well. Huckleberries are slow
coming in this season, and Tor the lew
that have been received good prices have
been obtained. Fresh arrivals OF Mexican
Lines and prices down.
Butter is going up in jumps, but the ef-
feet IS felt in the slackened demand. w nile
there IS not what might be called great
deal of Creamery here, there is more than
is wanted. Diaries are scarce, particularly
the fancy article. The only change IN Eggs
is an advance In the best Ranch and East
ern; plenty OF inferior Eggs here. and the
market, generally, IS weak.
