SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6, 1892.
The cereal market continues dull. In the
sample market absolutely nothing was done.
On the Produce Exchange several local oper-
ators, representing the bull contingent, were
very firm in holding values, but finally weak
ened. Foreign advices show decline and ii
is not unlikely that the local market viii be
still further depressed. At the informal ses,
sion Buyer December Wheat opened al
91 3354 and closed at 81 335s, with sales Of
1000 tons. The Barley market is very quiet.
as is also Rye. Oats are very weak and de-
Ginning, owing to heavy receipts and little de
mand. Dairy Products were uniformly
firm with no change in quotations.
The fruit market was active to-day, caused by
shippers buying extensively. Shipping OF
A No. fruit should be encouraged, but in
ferior grades are unstable. Mountain fruit
meets with the best sale, for the reason better
care is taken in shipping only what is desr-
able. Vegetables are apparently drug in the
market at low quotations. Liberal receipts OF
poultry somewhat weakened the market.
