Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. | ‘As usual on Saturday the local demand for fruits was brisk and the market was quite ac- | tive during the greater part of the day. Ap ples and Pears stood as previously quoted, with fancy in good request and steady and common offerings abundant and dull. Prunes, Quinces 'and Pomegranates ruled steady at previous prices. The canncrs were offering $15 per ton for Quinces, but no sales were reported at that figure. Peaches were plentiful and fancy stock was not taken as freely by the local trade as on the preceding day, the high prices having checked the demand somewhat. Salpays in bulk moved rather slowly, the ean- i ners being indifferent buyers. A few small lots of Clingstones in bulk rold to the canners | at $30 per ton. Figs arrived freely in ail kinds | of packages and continued to sell at a wide | range. Table Grapes were in free supply and n fair request. The Seedless varlety were a ittle easler, but continued to move off well. | Offerings of Isabella in crates were liberal and | included much poor stock, which dragged at | easy rates. There was a limited demand for | cholce offerings of other varicties in crates for ’ | shipment on the Portland steamer, but sup- plies were too large to permit any advance in prices. The canners purchased several lots of | river Muscat in bulk at $25 per ton. Wine | | Grapes moved freely and occasional lots con<~ | taining a large percentage of sugar command- | €0 a small premium over the quotations. | | There were liberal receipts |and as the demand was rather slack prices | had a further decline. Nutmeg melons were | firmly held in the early morning at 75c@$1 per | box, but _the'light receipts proved excessive at | those prices and the best offerings could be | | bought In the afternoon at 40@50c per box. | Cantaloupes, too, were easfer and only a small | percentage of the receipts brought the maxi- | mum quotation. There was quite a surplus | of both kinds unsold at the close. A large portion of the receipts of Raspber- | ries and Strawberries arrived too late for the regular trade and had to he sold below the | quotations.

Officers Discover Evidence of Guilt Against Two Fugitive Trainmen. Detective Lewin of the Southern Pacifie Company and Detective Sergeant Ryan of ke local police force are still working to procure evidence here against the gang of thieves who have been systematically looting freight cars. Their suspleion that W. H. Beauregard. | treight conductor, and George Aliard, | brakeman, who have both fled the city, were connected with the gang has been proven well founded. They discovered yesterday that Allard had about tw. menths ago sold to a cigar dealer on Golden Gate avenue 1000 cigars which ha been stolen by Beauregard and Allard from an cast-bound car at Menlo Park. As the deazler bought the cfgars in good faith and at once surrendered them no ac- tion will be taken against him. The officers have not yet located Frank €arey, who was Implicated with C. A, Rutherford, the brakeman: C. V. Graves, stevedore, and W. H. Daugherty in loot. m.m-tflwm They will not take Rutherford and Graves to Sali- nas until they have given up hope of | catehing Carey. Arrai on Murder Charge: William §abins was instructed and ar- raigned in' Police Judge Mogan's cowrt yesterday on a charge of murder, and his pnlhlnln hearing was set for nex: Thursday.
