Deciduous and Citrus Fruits.

An easier feeling prevailed in the market
for fresh fruits and prices of most descriptions
had a downward tendency under more liberal
offerings and a rather sluggish demand. April
cots and Figs were exceptions supplies of
those descriptions being extremely light. The
Gamers were Indifferent buyers in the open
market and only picking up bargains,
being overloaded with contract supplies OF
Bartlett Pears. Small packages of tree fruits
were in good supply and generally easy.
Peaches in open boxes were decidedly weak.
Small open boxes from Sonoma sold at 100000
and large boxes from other sections from SOC
to S5c, with occasional sales of fine Early
Crawfords reported at s1@1 % The Apple
market was badly congested and weak except
for gilt-edged offerings of Gravensteins in 4
tier boxes. which occasionally commanded
premium Cantaloupes and Nutmeg Melons
were plentiful and lower. and Grapes were
weak at the old quotations, with supplies more
than sufficient for market needs. In the Berry
line Blackberries and Huckeberries were plen-
tiful and lower, while the best lots of Rasp-
berries and Strawberries were in good de-
mand at firm rates. The Lemon market was
weak for general offerings while all other
Citrus goods were steady. A carload of extra
fancy Santa Barbara Lemons was received

Firmness continues to characterize the mar
ket for Fruits with especial activity in
Peaches owing to the large purchases ot the
