San Era nciscn lilly 9Th.

San francisco, July oIn-
Old Potatoes are not in quantity enough
70 be worth quoting. New are steady.
Unions continue weak. Asparagus was IN
larger supply to-day-167 boxes-but sold
fairly we'll at previous prices. Tomatoes
nave a wider range, some being out OF
order; the season for the general run will
be later than usual this year; at present
the receipts are from Vacaville. Bay
Squash arrived freely to-day and moved
slowly at lower prices.
Business was not active to-day in Fruits
and receipts were moderate. Berries ar
rived to the extent of 1,000 chests, being
lighter than usual, but prices were not
materially changed. Some Raspberries
bring 81 30. A few Currants go higher
than the quotations. Cherries are no Ion
ger worth quoting. Grapes from Arizona
move slowly at the quotations Figs are
weak and in liberal supply; the large Figs
do not move; the quality of the small is
not what it was. Apricots in bulk are
doing better.
Nothing new to report as to prices of
Dairy Produce. Trading is slow Eggs
are weak generally. Selected ranch do
well, being in light supply. The so-called
store Eggs sent here are really nothing
more than culls, and are not worth send
ing to market; some sell for less than the
inside quotation. They are small ana dlrty
