Weakness of the grain market at Minneapolis and Duluth seemed to substantiate the.bearish advices in regard to the seeding aund heiped to accentuate | the deyression here. A rumor that the Mis- sourl Crop report, to be issued to-morrow, Would show an imyrovement in condition of srowinz wheat, increased the desire to sell. For the first hour the market ruled extremely weak, losses of nearly a cent being made in | ail deliveries. The 1ow puint on July was re- ported at N3%c.

Receipts of California Poultry were liberal and consisted chiefly of old and small stock, which dragged at lower rates. Young Roosters and Fryers were in limited supply and were the only descriptions in the chicken line to show any firmness. The sécond car of Western Hens for the week. was offered late In the day, but very little of it was sold. Another car falls due to-day. Only a few of Game came {in and prices were largely nominal.

Re- celpts of Strawberries were the heaviest thus far this season, aggregating 211 chests. of which 147 were of the large varleties from Watsonville. Dealers had firm ideas at the opening and asked $15 for Longworths and $10 for the large verieties, but buyers refused to pay such figures and pfices receded. There were quite a few chests lying around umsold | at the close. Six crates of a large variety came in from Florin and sold at $1 per crate. | Previously stated conditions still ailed in Citrus frults. A fair amount of business, | both locally and for shipping account, was re- ported dn good sound Navels, while there was the usual pressure to sell inferfor stock, which | | constituted a large portion of the supplies. | Ripe Bananas were more plentiful and the | Central American article was quoted lower.

A carry-over in Prunes is also | anticipated. The latter continue dull and cheap. Peaches are the leaders in interest at the moment, and will clean up. very firm. Nuts are steady and pretty well | cleaned up. In fact, as frequently reported, | there is not much stock of anything feft ex: cept Prunes and Raisins.
