SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 1892.
There was falling off in the activity of the
markets this morning. The receipts in gen
eral We're light, and were cleaned up fairly
well. On the Produce Exchange business was
dull. Foreign information does not tend TO
enhance the local condition, rather deterio-
rates. What the outcome will be is hard 10
say. The feeling is SO weak at present the
bearish element could easily force down prices
at Will. The Sample market is correspond
lngly inactive. The transactions on Change
to-day covered 2, 800 tons OF Buyer December
Wheat, at from 81 3316 TO 81 1874, ana 700
tons Of Barley. Seller the year Barley was
quoted at SIC bid and SAGE asked; Buyer
December at S9$sc, with S934c asked. The
condition of the Cat market was even worse
to-day, the receipts being over IL 900 centals.
Corn and Rye are also at standstill. The
market for Dairy Produce is unchanged, with
fair activity. Garden truck moves moder-
ately well. Receipts of Potatoes to-day were
very large but met with ready sale under
active shipping inquiry. Onions continue
firm. Fresh Fruits arrived in very light sup
ply this morning. Choice Bartlett Pears hold
up we'll under good inquiry, but other grades
are practically unstable. Berries are very
scarce in the market and not of good quality
as a rule. Dried Fruits are firm at quota
tons. No Poultry arrived to-day and the
market is well cleaned up. a slight change
is noticeable in Livestock.
