kets, and Prices Are Shading
Oranges in Good supply.
San Francisco, March 1st.
Wheat was very quiet in the local mar
ket yesterday, and prices show no change.
Shippers are buying wherever they can
secure desirable lots at prices fraction
under quotations. The inquiry for ships
shows more activity, and freights are lit
lie firmer and higher. The charter of a ship
10 carry grain to the United Kingdom,
announced yesterday, was the first for
several weeks past. The disengaged list
has not assumed very large proportions in
the interval however, for the arrivals
have been light. In the Cali Board yes
Serday there was but little doing, and
prices were substantially the same as on
the preceding day. Transactions were
small, and there was a general lack Of
activity the part of both buyers and
sellers The English market maintains
quite a steady tone, and cargoes for
prompt shipment have been quoted a little
higher. This, together with a firmer tone
an the Eastern markets, serves to fill hold
ers with ideas that values will be still
higher in the near future. The statistical
situation in the Wheat markets of the
world continues favorable to the selling
Interest
In the local Produce markets yesterday
trade was quiet, and there was some Shad-
ang OF asking figures in order to reduce
AccumulallonS OF stock. Oranges are in
good supply, but the demand is larger
and apparently growing, SO values are
alrmer, and some dealers look for an adj
vance in prices on the best grades. APP
pies meet with a light inquiry, but choice
Varieties are held very firmly. Tropical
Hrults still continue abundant, and sales
are rather slow. The inquiry for Nuts is
Aght, out prices are no lower. Seeds are
moving of IN moderate quantities al fairly
STEADY rates. Mustard is duh, and yell
low IS slow to sell even at shaded figures.
me demand for Honey is far from salts
factory, and prices are easy Dried Fruits
continue very dull Prunes being the only
variety which shows any strength of value.
halsins are developing some little activity,
very weak at quotations. Cheese is quiet,
put arriving more freely. Poultry sells
4alrly Wen, with some shading of prices.
WOOL Is very quiet, with receipts nominal.
