BUSINESS BRISK IN FRUITS AT
SAN FRANCISCO.
Apricots Firm, and Higher Price:
Looked For-Ex ira Plums Bring
Good Quotations.

San Francisco July 7th.
Despite the fact of to-day being holi-
cay business in fruits was quite brisk;
receipts were quite liberal, and there were
out few changes in prices. Apricots are
nrm and higher figures are looked for.
grapes from Yuma are easier; the hrst
shipment from Tulare County will be
made in week or so; this will probably
be followed by Vacaville. Some extra
Plums bring more than quotations, but
they are special brands and are not in
large quantities. Oranges are about at a
standstil Common Lemons are weaker.
Mexican Lines are lower.
Trading in Dairy Produce was rather
light and prices were undisturbed
throughout. There appears to be slightly
better feeling in Eggs. Butter is weak
and Cheese steady.
Broilers and Fryers are slightly ad-
xanced BOOSTERS are weaker, as also Hen
Turkeys. The market is well supplied and
weak generally.
