SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 90. 1892
The past week has been devoid of any par
ticular interest, save the Wheat market
which advanced a little the early part of this
week, but the advance has not been well sus-
tanned since the little squirt which the increase
occasioned Owing to an advance of Sd to Cd
per quarter in the English market there has
been more demand for tonnage. Yesterday the
large iron ship Gowanbank was fixed at 23s
Cd orders and smaller one at 25s or
ders 1t is rumored the street that
France has commenced to buy. so that there
is prospect for larger business to be trans
acted in Wheat and ships than has been the
case for two or three months past. The mar
ket is as yet unsettled, however, as no definite
information is obtainable as to the actual
amount of Wheat in the various producing
countries. The local spot market is very in
active Most of the Wheat is being stored in
warehouses. On the Cali Board this morning
sales footed up 4, 100 tons. Buyer December
was principally dealt in, 3,4OO tone being
sold at from 81 343s to 81 345E. The rest of
the transactions included seller 1892 at
81 2914; January, 81 354, and May, 81 80
to 81 39s4.
Barley has been fairly steady for the week,
ending with no especial activity, The de-
mand is confined TO choice shipping grades,
and other qualities are at this time easy. To-
days options covered only 400 tons of Bar
ley. Next month new Barley viii be II the
local market, when a decided change viii
doubtless take place.
Oats, Corn and Rye are very easy at same
quotations. Beans are irregular under
changed quotations. Nothing new can be re-
ported as TO other cereals.
Dairy Produce has been held strong since
the last weekly resume, but the week closes
with easier feeling for Eggs and second grades
OF Butter. Cheese Is very firm with an up
ward tendency.
Vegetables are easy, not including Potatoes,
for which there is splendid export demand
The market also cleans up readily on Onions
Receipts of Fruit have slackened up consid-
erably, otherwise the market would have
been drugged under light demand. Taking
the market in general for Fruit, it was weak
today. Melons have declined. Choice Pears,
Apples and Plums are about the only fruits
in good demand. Some Mexican Oranges
have arrived, but are too green to be placed
on the market.
Dried Fruits, especially Apricots, Pears and
Peaches are very firm. Prunes are easier.
The Poultry market may be briefly de-
scribed as sick.
Livestock is fairly active. Provisions are
very firm.
General merchandise has fuctuated but
little since last report. Merchants seem to be
transacting a fair amount of business for this
time OF the year.
