WHEAr-No improvement in the volume Of bust
was observable at the early session Of Cham
to. day. There appeared DO be more than usual m
quiry, and the tone of the market WIS fully as
strong as ever. Holders of choice parcels have
faith the future and believe they lose nothing by
not forcing GALES. Reports still current 81 n

claimed, an excess of offers for shipping here The

BAaLEY-The market made quite little squirt to-
day. For feed there is very active inquiry, and
liberal transactions were made at advanced rates.
Holders feel much encouraged at the unexpected
turn in the situation, though claiming ignorance Of

operator informed US that sales have been recently
consummated in the country at 2i@5c g ctl advance
the prices paid here. For Cheyaer the demand is
limited, and Cnly lots up to the standard find any
attention. This season We shall probably have to
rely entirely on Iuc 10 dD5OTO
our surplus. Last year both New Zealand and
Australia were good Gus omert, but advices from
the colonies are to the effect that not only has
sufficient been raised for local wants, but it is
not unlikely there Will be or less for shipment

OATs-For three days buyers have kept aloof
Operators are generally willing to furnish informa
ton, and their nom record of sales is evidence of
dull market. The State of California to-day brought
several consignments of Oregon, aggrcgating !, 100
SKIS. We quote: Humboldt, 81 40@@1 so; coast,

grower at Haywards yesterday disposed of his crop
Of eight acres at pIice thai viii net him about 81,
900. Many varieties are beginning to make slim
show. Chief among these may be noted currants
cherries and strawberries. Blackberries at the mo-
ment are in proflse supply. Apes and pears are
on the increase. Grapes, 50 far have neither been
plentiful nor choice. Peaches are abundant, and
Won find much better custom if the quality were
more choice. Next week, however, an improve
meft is expected. Plums finding favor, some Of
the consignments being very fine. Recent arrivals
Of bananas went off well aud the market at present
is thinly stocked. Catalogues and watermelons
only in fair supply. Following are quotations

HoSEy-As to the probable Weld of the several
apiaries this se0son, calculations have as yet
been made. AT the beginning, matters looked
rather promising, but on a sudden the busy bees
turned lders, and whether they have got their
lazy spell and returned 70 their labors, will probably
be known by next advices from the southern coun-
ties. Last year the crop failure, mainly for
want of feed, and large numbers of the little pro-
ducers died from hunger So far, the receipts have
been fairly liberal, and good prices have been gen.
orally obtained 0ns reason that the market has
been well sustained Is owing to heavy orders from
England. large quantity has already gone for
ward and liberal shipments board four
or five vessels loading grain for Liverpool. Prob.
ably the amount already secured will foot up total
of 10000 lbs of good strained Exporters COM
menced buying at sc, gradually advancing to nearly
&c y ID, which price it is claimed is the limit that
can be paid with profit TO shippers. At present
writing the market is firm. We quote Comb,
1ldl3c strained, 6l@7lc Q ID.
BUTTER Strictly choice is quite scarce, and 1t
is almost too late in the season to expect any
great increase in supplies. Prices are firm, and
holders hopeful of the future, believing
that change in their favor is not far dis
tant. We quote: Good to choice, 20a23c for
the usual run Of consignments, with Point Reyes
diaries at 24@25c . h; inferior TO ordinary, 27aI9c,
inside rate for mixed lot from country stores New
frkin is quotable at 20622lc y 10. Picked comes
within the range of 22td25c. Eastern is III
light supply. and ls@20c o n will probably cover
the bulk Of offerings.
CHEEsE-we quote Californs, 12al3Ic q n;
Eastern, I6alsc !; Western, l4td15c . h.
Eses-A few boxes Of Oregon arrived this morn
ing but no price has yet been determined by sales
At current figures the market is not firm. We
quote: California, 22d24c; Salt Lake, 2i@22c;
Eastern 20c, with express at 21@2eIc q dozen.
PoULray-No very large business IS being done.
The demand Is limited, and liberal consignments
