Fruit Business Very Slow-The Butter
Market in a DemOralized
Condition.
San Francisco. Ian. 18th,

san TduCIScO, AL 4olD
To-day, having been declared legal hol-
iday, there was nothing doing in the Pro-
duce Exchange, and quotations for grains,
ETC.. are omitted. There were no sessions
OF the Call Board Association during the
day.
For Saturday the fruit business is very
slow; if anything, it is worse than the re-
mainder of the week. Receipts of apples
were 1,S00 boxes, of which 500 go into
cold storage. One car of oranges-400
boxes arrived The only scarcity
oranges is of large navels. Cranberries
sell very slowly. Grape fruit is lower.
While no lower prices are quoted on but
ter, the market, particularly on dairies, is
still in a demoralzed condition and prices
are sure to go lower. One great drawback
is the amount of poor roll butter coming
in. Milk from new cows is used and as a
consequence some of the butter is unfit for
food. When this inferior stuff is disposed
of the butter market will probably assume
healthier tone. Eggs have further declin-
ed, some store selling as low as 19c.
