Especial Correspondence REcoRD-US1os.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. II, 1892.
Since our last report Wheat options have
declined from ~ cents to 2 cents per Genital,
with the spot market weak. There is doubt
less a concerted movement to break the mar
ket on the part of the Shorts" although
some spectators claim the depression is
brought about by the Government estimate
OF 515,000,000 bushels of Wheat in the
United States, much larger crop than all
previous estimates have countenanced. Buy
ers proceeded very cautiously, and even at
the decline only 2 700 tons of Wheat changed
hands. This amount comprised 2, 800 Buyer
December at from 81 355s to 81 SO, 100
tons of May at 81 40I, and 800 Seller '92 At
81 SO.
Barley maintains previous quotations, but
there is very little doing. Only 200 tons
were sold on the floor to-day-1oo tons Buyer
December at 90 cents. and 100 tons Deem
Der at 81 cents.
Butter was easier in feeling to-day. Fancy
Creamery brings 40 cents in general, but just
little shading was done to-day to make
sales. The stock of Butter on hand is very
large, especially poorer grades.
Cheese is steady. An easy feeling exists for
Eggs.
Onions were very firm to-day under splen-
did shipping inquiry. Sweet Potatoes held
better at an advance, while other kinds are
very steady.
the cream of Fresh Fruit is shipped north,
and the local market is supplied with but
ordinary grades, much of which is affected
by the late rains Some choice Peaches sold
as high as 81 SO to-day. Bartlett Pears are
rarely seen, Winter Nellis now being favorite
and selling as high as 81 per box occa-
sionally.
Dried Fruits are active at good prices.
Raisins also sell well at quotations.
Poultry is in fair demand and stocks clean
up tolerably we'll Game receipts are light
and shows improvement in quality. Prices
remain about the same.
