SAN FRANCISCO, August 2. 1892.
There was decided increase in the volume
oi goods sent out to-day. The call came chiefly
from coast ports, although there was a fair as
sortment buying from country and mountain
towns. In farm product there was quiet
but firm market for Wheat. Barley contin-
neo 10 have good support. Oats We're in
ught receipt, and better prices for Barley
moved up slightly. Corn and Rye We're
essentially unchanged. Ground feed was
more inquired for but there was no lack of
supply. Very choice Hay was wanted, but
other grades were barely steady. While some
ueaiers reported firm market for gilt-edged
butter, others claim that the trade shows
signs OF drifting TO other grades and conse-
quently they think that for the present top
prices have been reached. Very choice fresh
laid Eggs, large sized and of uniform white
color, were wanted, but other kinds were
still slow. The market was overstocked with
poor, scrubby Hens, but large sized and in
good condition were scarce and command
good prices. Young Chickens sold higher.
Garden stuff was active at fairly steady
prices. Potatoes were stronger to-day, owing
TO good southern demand. Fruit was quite
active, but the market was essentially I'M
changed, except something very choice which
solo slightly higher.
