PRODUCE MARKET.
The prospects of improvement In the condi.
ton OF the hop market are about as remote "a
ever During the past few days sales have been
made in New York as low as Is cents Dealers
here show no special inclination to buy and
none of the new crop has been sold so far In
the grain, feed and hay market prices seem to
nave reached bottom and but little change is
expected from prices now established unless it
comes through an improvement in The san Fran
cisco market Potatoes, too, ara probably as
low as they will be this season, and stock is be-
ginning to move freely. Dealers have not
yet begun 10 buy their winter stocks.
Inc live stock market continues firm
at former quotations. Poultry is in good de-
mand, and scarcely enough is coming in to sup
ply the market. Ranch eggs are scarce, and
those coming in find ready sale. The hide and
SKIN market is rather quiet, but prices remain
unchanged. No improvement has taken place
as yet in the log market, but il the foreign de-
mand Tor lumber keeps improving and all the
Dig mills get running steady, 1t will probably
result in an advance in the price of logs, though
II will be some time before the supply already
In viii be exhausted even materially de-
creased.
JoBBrNG TRADE
Jobhers generally report fair degree OF busi-
ness activity, though not equal to what they
had anticipated for the fall months. Shipments
oil merchandise have beeu fair the past week.
and the coal shipments have been especially
heavy. Still there Is no particular rush, and is
not likely to be now before next season. BUSH
ness has settled down TO q more even. steady
movement, and merchants and business men
generally have come TO reconcile themselves to
The change.
But few changes have taken place in jobbing
quotations the past week. Some coffees a
little lower; lard has advanced from - to cent
per pound; vegetables and fruits are steady,
with the exception OF sweet potatoes, which are
4 cent lower; some nice fall squash are coming
in and oranges are out of the market: buckle
berries are coming in, and the first car load of
Cape Cod cranberries of the season is expected
by the last of the week. change has been
made in sugar grading in San Francisco and
the East, which will soon take effect in the mar
ket here. grade known as d sugar will take
the place OF golden C, which is to take the place
OF the present extra C, and extra is to be bet
ter grade than at present.
