SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 7th.
The hoped-for reaction to strengthen ana
advance quotations in the cereal market is as
far distant as ever. Local spectators are
very conservative and practically no bust
ness was transacted on the Produce Exchange
Buyers are holding of, and sellers are IN
clined TO take things easy rather than accept
offerings. AT the informal session of the Pro
duce Exchange this morning but 900 tons OF
buyer December Wheat were sold, open
ing at 81 35 and closing at 81 34I. One
hundred tons of seller the year wheat
changed hands at 81 3O14. Foreign advlces
continue unsatisfactory. The sample market
Is devoid of interest, and sales are OF rare oc-
currence. At the regular Call / 600 tons OF
buyer December and 100 tons seller the year
Wheat covered the transactions. Barley was
perceptibly a little tirmer at quotations. Rye
is confined to local trade, while Oats were
fairly active at given quotations.
The Directors of the Produce Exchange held
o meeting late Wednesday afternoon, at
which several important measures were pro-
posed, but action was postponed until a
special meeting to be held next Tuesday after
noon. Monthly dues were reduced from So
to 81 per month.
A petition signed by 112 members of the
Produce Exchange was posted up on the boards
of the exchange. The petition reads as FOL
lows: ave. the undersigned members of the
exchange, being fully convinced that action
should be taken in regard to the disposition OF
the interest now owned by this exchange in
the property OF the Merchants Exchange AS
sociation, respectfully request that you will
call a special meeting of the exchange at as
early a date as possible for the purpose OF TAX
ing such action as is necessary TO instruct the
trustees representing such interest to call a
Injecting OF the stockholders of the Merchants
Exchange Association, and at such meeting
to pass such resolutions as win provide for
the sale of the property known as the Mer-
chants Exchange building on California
street and declare a dividend of the proceeds
of such sale among the stockholders thereof.
And to do and perform all acts necessary in
the premises as Will enable this exchange TO
receive its pro rata of the proceeds thereof"
In response to the above petition meeting of
the members has been called for Tuesday, Sep
TENDER goth, at 10:45 A. N.
Liberal shipments of fruits were received
to-day, and Notwithstanding, the market was
active. All choice fruits, with possibly the
exception OF Plums and Peaches, met ready
sale.
Vegetables do not move any better; ship
ments are large, and the market is shaped to
suit the buyer.
Dairy Produce continues firm at same quo
Gations as yesterday.
There is fair trade in 1eedstutfs. The hay
and grain market is dull and weak, the de-
mand falling offand receipts largely in excess
Cereals.
