SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. %, 1892.
There was very healthy tone to the Wheat
market to-day. a slight advance in quota
tions for future delivery took place IN the op-
ton market. Reports from Eastern and Eng
lish centers strengthened the local market,
and transactions were heavier. Some opera
tors believe to-day's advance is a vanguard of
the expected reaction and that better prices
will prevail. In the sample market trading
was comparatively light at unchanged quota
tons. Offerings were few. In the option
market seller the year opened at 81 20 and
closed at 81 2Ss4 asked. Buyer January sold
at 81 50, buyer December 81 81 to 81 34N,
and buyer September 81 2S1% No new char
tiers are reported. Barley trading wac also
active and a steady feeling exists. Seller the
year new was quoted at S35lc, December
S61sc and buyer December S654c. Rye, Oats
and Corn are weak. There is but little
tvity in other cereals.
Dairy Produce is firm, especially good feel
ing prevailing with Eggs and Cheese.
Vegetables were generally weaker to-day.
But the demand for Onions and Potatoes, al
though the receipts are very heavy, prevents
any surplus. Potatoes are mostly coming
from sacramento River district.
Fresh Fruits were fairly active to-day, but
the market did not clean up well, owing to
two days receipts of some fruits swelling the
market. Strawberries are weak and of poor
quality. Raspberries are scarce Choice Bart
lett Pears are desired, but few are to be seen.
An extra prime Bartlett will bring as high as
81 90. Other kinds of Pears are heavy.
Plums and Prunes are stiff. Peaches, cling,
sell mostly in bulk at 214@3c, the poorer
grades selling for what can be had. Figs are
scarce. Grapes, weaker. Fair demand for
Melons
Dried Fruits are under less inquiry and
weaker.
Hens and Gobbler Turkeys hold strong, but
other Poultry is very weak under heavy re-
ceipts.
livestock and Provisions are in light de-
mand.
