The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-06-18
CONDITION OF TRADE.
The Indications Favorable for
Busy Times Ahead.
The Rise in Metals-Mov.ment of Grocery
stap!es-0verland Shipments Of Prod
uce-The Wool Trade.

Is ample at undsturbed but firm rates.
Silver is nominally quoted as high as 81 OF Y
by the banks, but they report no trading of
any consequence, and the quotations are
merely assimilative Mexican dollars have
advanced to 80 to S3h cents.
There is progress In the air. San Fran
cisco seems to be on the eve of cycle of
advancement, as marked as any in its
history. Building operations in the city
and all around the bay were never more
active. New transportation lines are being
talked up, and fine class of immigration is
flowing into the State. The present ex-
pectatlons may not, in the uncertainty of
all human endeavor, be realized, but the
signs are certainly encouraging.
THE GRAIN MARKET.
About the only interesting feature in
grain this week is the advance in wheat
freishts to Ais, a very handysized vessel
having been taken at this rate. Some time
has ELAPSED since freights from this port
touched 40s. Wheat itself is dull and
featureleSs.
Barley is quiet and unchanged. Oats
have been marked up slightly by holders,
but there is not much call for them.
Yellow and white corn have declined
under heavy arrivals.
Rye is quiet at last weeks prices.
Bran and middlingS are in active demand
and higher.
Grain bags are held squarely up to
cents, but this figure is above the views of
buyers and the market is dull.

Wool ia ouieter for the remarkable rea-
son that the stock of California spring wool
mere is now greatly reduced. When it is
considered that it is now only the middle
of June the heavy inquiry of the past two
or three months may be realized In fact,
dealers say that they never saw the spring
wool market so well cleaned up at this time
of the year. Considerable Oregon and Ne
vada wool is still coming forward, however.
Prices are steady.
Less talk of new dried fruit is heard.
Some sales are reported of new bleached
apricOts at u and - cents, of new bleached
peaches at II and IS cents and of new white
nectarines at IL and u cents, but this Dusi-
ness is light. TIE fact is buyers are not
eager to pay the prices asked by orchard
lists. As to prunes, the Eastern dealers are
letting the market alone until the extent of
the French crop can be more definitely
known. Late advices to New York from
Bordeaux say the crop will be only an av-
erage. Earlier indications were favorable
for very large yield, but the wet weather
during May caused dropping from the
trees Still, all reports at this time are
more or less premature.
The meat market is well furnished, dull
and weak. AT this time of the year many
families are out oil town, and this operates
against the market.
