SAN FRANCISCO Oct. IL, 1892.
Wheat recovered to-day from it dullness and
decline of yesterday, and was largely dealt in
on the Produce Exchange The demand was
good and everybody dealing, giving rise 10 the
belief that an improved market is imminent.
Sales were made to the extent of $500 tons,
of which 4, 800 tons were buyer Deem Der;
200 tons OF seller '92 sold at 81 331 and / 90
tons OF May at 81 413s. The Eastern market
was reported stronger and higher, but foreign
advices show that the United States Govern
ment report as to amount of Wheat crops has
mad disparaging effect Freights are firm,
but we cannot report new charters. Owners
ask 26s Sd for large iron ships. Offerings in
the spot market are limited, and now that
most of the Wheat is under cover in ware
houses an advance viii be essential to bring it
out. II is said that mlllers have had 10 pay
as high as 81 3s34 for Wheat but at this time
that quotation is fictitious price.
Barley Is very firm and offerings are not
heavy by any means. On Call 700 tons
changed hands-2O0 buyer December, at
9215c; 300 December, at 9114c, and 100 seller
90, at S71Sc.
Rye is strong at quotations. Oats, Corn,
Bran and Middlings are weaker. Choice wheat
Hay is firm, and sells as high as $13 so per
ton.
On account of high prices, the consumption
Of Butter has been light and, consequently,
the market inactive. Cheese is steady, with
little doing. Eggs, the same.
Onions are easier in feeling. Trading in po
tatoes is light.
Fresh fruits continue inactive Melons are
aIxrt O- 10 V
but the demand is very poor and Grapes are
almost q drug in the market. Dried fruits
were very quiet to-day.
Poultry is slightly better. The quality OF
Game arriving is good and meets with ready
sale.
