| MHEAT-Two months of the harvest year
| have passed. and movement on export account
has been quite light, as compared with last sea-
son. Shipments during the month of August,
/ 1881, footed up nearly 100000 centals, while
during the month Just closed the total exports
! reach but 10000 centals This exhibit can
I hardly be considered encouraging The situa-
ton at foreign centeTs has not changed i'll a
week II all distributing points there seems to
+ he sufficient stock to meet present wants, and
until there be more general demand abroad it is
not to be expected that local circles will show
any special activity. Offerings are somewhat
! more liberal than they have been heretofore,
! but asking rates are above the views of BUYERS
Moderate business could probably be transacted
on basis Of 81 81 for the better class of ship
ping quality, but holders of an article of this
| character want at least Il 10 Z ctl, while some
are not willing to sell even at this latter figure
| Call Board sales at the morning session OF the
San Francisco Produce Exchange were as fol-
| lows:
| BUYER season-201 tons. 81 5S
Buyer lSS5-ltO tons 81 511i; 200, 81 as; 200

BAKLEf-For an article of feed that will
| fairly come up to No. l standard, prices are
steady at 81 50 . ell, while 81 p is about a rep
resentative figure tor a seeond-class article
Trade. however, is not quick. Brewing contin
| ues TO show strength. Good qualities range from
81 1901 10 { ctl, while choice parcels command
1 rs high as II 40. Time sales of this latter dc
scription have been effected at an advance. In
| Chevalier there is scarcely anything doing. For
| foreign custom the product must turn the scale
ut u lbs. But there is very little stock that will
| balance at this standard of weight The light
business in progress is transacted within range

| OA1S-Supplies continue ample. The strong
and advancing tendency OF Feed Barley was ex-
| pccted to have increased the demand for Oats
| and probably cause an advance il prices. But
expectations have not been realized, and holders
/ are showing more anxiety to make sales. We
! quote: surprise GEd Milling, 81 S5Q1 40; No. /
| 81 pal so: common grades, 81 12j@a1 ~ q ell.
| COBN-Buyers are scarce though stock is
| somewhat firmly held ut quotations There is
no speculative feeling, and receipts of any con
| siderable magnitude would necessarily weaken
prices. Under existing circumstances the situa
| tlon looks more fayoruble for the buying than
The selling interest. QuOtable at 81 2jfa1 20 for

| FRUII-Grapes are the leading feature at the
moment, supplies being quite heavy, and find
ing good custom, OWING to low prices. Straw
| berries make u good display, and bring pretty
fair figures when they reach the market in time
| for early trade. Bartlett Pears Of good quality
| are very scarce, readily commanding quota
| tons. Mexican Lines are again in market the
I Panama steamer yesterday bringing more or
| less liberal consignments. Supplies of Sicily
| Lemons are at hand to-day by railroad. We

IS no increase i'll the volume Of business. As A

qualities is found at the various depots Fine
grades are not so literally represented, and
