SAN FRASCIsCo, June 9TH.
General trade was fairly active to day. Cool
weather is accepted as favorable for crops,
which causes more confidence in the future.
In cereals trading continues slow, but this con-
dition usually obtains between seasons. Fruit
IS moving off freely and at better prices than
ruled at this time in 1891. The quality is
better, both in flavor and size. Seasonable
vegetables are in light supply, which keeps
the market strong and high.
Silver is higher to-day in New York and
also IN London. Commercial exchanges are
scarce.
CEREALS.
Receipts-Flour, 1865 bbIs; Wheat, $3.50
WHEAT trading continues light, with
buyers and sellers apart. The former con
unue TO mold OFF for concessions, which they
expect TO get owing to new-crop Wheat being
sold for July delivery, with considerable said
10 be Offering for delivery in that month at
around 81 40 for good white shipping. While
this may possibly be the case, yet there are so
many bear reports set afioat at about harvest
time, the writer is slow to believe all that he
hears from buyers and operators on call
European mail advices justify the expecting
OF much better prices later on IN the year.

FUTURES.
Trading on Call in futures is dun. Operators
appear TO be afraid to venture much. The
bears are watching the market closely for an
opportunity TO raid both Wheat and Barley,
but the bulls appear equally as watchful 10
prevent any such of a move. The market
ought 10 soon become more active for within
the next fortnight we should be in a position
10 form fair idea regarding crops at nome
and abroad.
