Meat Market
All kinds of dressed meats are in free sup
ply, with the market dull and weak, and aside
from a decline in pork, there are no price
changes to report. Wholesalers say that the
market has been dull since the Thanksgiving
holiday, when the slump in prices for turkeys
diverted the attention of consumers from other
meats. Live bogs are coming forward freely,
but the packers are taking practically all of
the arrivals at well maintained prices.

followed yesterday by further small recessions in
the quotations for the grades affected by the
drop, trading on the exchange bringing prices for
extras and selected pullets to round money lev
els. Extras were quoted at the flat price of 40c
and pullets at 30c, both being half a cent lower.
The market was officially declared firm a", the
new quotations on the exchange, but there was a
t'eeliug of uneasiness in the street, as receipts
were, liberal for this time of the year and trade
was none too brisk. Butter was in amide sup
ply, with prices unchanged. The steamer- with
tbe bulk of last week's production in the Hum
boldt district met with an accident up north and
it was generally expected yesterday that con- |
slgnments from that region would be.held back
i several days in consequence. This incident had
1 a tendency to strengthen the market temporarily. I
In the cheese department new California fancy
Bats and Young Americas were half a cent lower.
Sales on the exchange were as follows:
Butter—3o cases of extras at 33c on the In
formal call.
Eggs—lo cases of extras at 41c. 30 at 40% c,
20 at 40c and 30 cases of selected pullets at 30c
! a dozen.
Cheese—2s new California fancy flats at 17c a
pound.
Receipts were 43,500 pounds of butter, 4,000
pounds of cheese and 1,314 cases of eggs.
The following are official quotations, estab
lished by sales, bids and offers 011 the floor of
the Dairy exchange. Prices in the street, while
governed by the exchange quotations, generally
range from l%c to 2%c higher, owing to the
various charges to be added:

Efitv Market In Nearby Counties
By Federal Wireless
PETALUMA, Dec. 3.—The egg market still is
reported weak and prices today dropped a half
cent after receipt of transactions of tbe San
Francisco Dairy and Egg exchange. Independent
dealers and speculator*; paid off on Monday's
deliveries at the rate of 39c for extra ranch
and 2Sc for selected pullets. The delivery today
was good. The delivery in the poultry market
today was fair. Grain showed no change.
SANTA CRUZ, Dec. 3.—Eggs dropped 23__
today, dealers being able to buy extras of that
grade at 35c. Other grades also fell in price,
pullets bringing 29c and firsts 28c.
SANTA ROSA, Dec. 3.—Poultrymen are sur
prised at the continued decreasing of prices of
eggs, and have for some time past been an
ticipating an increasing market. The two grades
of eggs each dropped one-balf cent per dozen
here today following the receipt of the advices
from the San Francisco markets. Dealers paid
39c for first grade and 28c for second or pullet
grade, while butter maintained the figures of
the previous day and was quoted at 32 per
pound. Receipts have fallen off dally for some
time past, and at present candlers are not
bothered to keep.pace with the eggs coming in.
Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables
Arrivals of misccllsneous vegetables from the
southern growing districts were small yesterday,
as frequently happens on Tuesday, and offerings
consisted almost wholly of carried over stock.
Anything that graded as choice or fancy was
readily disposed of at satisfactory prices, while
poor stuff continued to drag. After the limited
offerings <>f choice peas and beans were disposed
of late buyers were looking around for such
stock and they willingly paid a premium when
they could get what they wanted. Choice south
ern" tomatoes were In good request at firm rates,
while squash, cucumbers, eggplant and peppers
stood as before quoted. The market for potatoes
and onions Is running along In the same old rut,
with stocks burdensome and business restricted
to narrow limits. The quotations seldom vary
and no one is expecting any fluctuations, for
prices are down to bedrock, and owing to the
cumbersome supplies an advance is out of the
question. _

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits
The market for fresh fruits develops little that
Is new from day to day. and while there is a fair
amount of business at, all times the wants of the
trade are quickly supplied aud the quotations
seldom show any noteworthy variation. Stocks
of apples are Sp burdensome that even on the
busiest days of the week supplies show no notice
able diminution at closing time. Instead of dim
inishing the accumulation is being added, and
under such conditions Improvement in prices for
general offerings Is, of course, out of the ques
tion. Oranges and other citrus fruits are In free
supply and rather dull, the weather being aganst
active trading in them. Grapes and strawber- j
ries are still in evidence and the best selections
continue to find ready sale at satisfactory prices,
while off grade stuff drags. Canners coetiuue
to take surplus stocks of strawberries, which is
all that holds prices up. A few chests of rasp
berries, came in yesterday and they were peddled
out in small lots at 75<_;90c a drawer.

Dried Fruit, Raisins, Nuts and Honey
The holiday last week upset the dried fruit
market- to some extent and a little falling off
in the volume of business checked the upward
movement in certain descriptions that, had been
strengthening for some time. The market niles
tirm, however, with large operators reporting
some little improvement In the buying movement.
Taken all In all, the market has for the last
several weeks been unusually active for this
time of the year. Large sizes of prunes are
very firmly held and 30s are closely cleaned up.

Poultry- and Game
The market for live poultry 1s badly over
stocked and distinctly weak for everything ex
cept broiling chickens, which are always In
limited supply at this time of the year. Nine
cars of imported western Stock went on sale
Monday and there were fully five of them unsold
yesterday. As further arrivals are expected, the
market will do well to clean up before the end
of the week, even though receipts from state
points are light. There have been hardly any

Hay and Feedstuff*
Romers & Co., in their weekly review of the
hay situation, say:
"Receipts of hay for the week past amounted
to 2,001 tons, against 2,272 for tbe week previ
ous. The general hay situation Is without new
feature, the movement being about the same as
heretofore. In both San Francisco and Oakland
the range of prices is unchanged and the weak
tendency which has prevailed of late continues,
although prices are no lower. A good rain in
tbe seetlou of the state south of San Francisco
would, of course, be desirable at this time, but
there is no Immediate need for it as yet. Dry
plowfhg and seeding continue. The country north
of San FranWsco Is in excellent condition.
"Very little alfalfa has been shipped to the
local markets, as there is not much demand for
it here. There is quite a bit of alfalfa moving
throughout the interior, at prices, however, which
are but very little if any higher than existed
during the harvest season. The supply of al
falfa In the Interior is heavy, and with a nor
mal auppl/'ot green feed there is no reason to
expect higher prices."

MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS
Cotton Market
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.— E. F. Hutton & Co.'s
wire says:
"The cotton market rallied about 20 points to
day on covering by shorts, support from some
at the old bulls, who overstayed the market on
the recent advance, and buying by Pell brokers
who are credited with again taking the bull
side. During the last hour prices lost about
one-half the early gain on some more inside sell
ing and renewed liquidation. Some are predict
ing a sharp recovery between now and the gov
ernment report, but there Is nothing new in
the supply and demand figures or general news
on which to base such a movement, and since
the leading spot interests have withdrawn from
the market we believe rallies will be hard to
maintain."

wire says: "Steadier markets in Europe re
sulted In an advance this morning. There was
mdre or less buying for European account as
well as covering, but bulls were not aggressive
and the market later developed a slightly easier
undertone owing to local selling, especially of
September. The consuming trade was said to
be in a more <>r less demoralised condition and
very antagonistic tp present values. Buyers were
said to have little faith in the stability of the
market at the comparatively high prices pre
vailing at present."
