SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. Is, 1892.
Trading was very sa tisfactory in the local
markets to-day. Receipts were commensur-
ate with demand. and the market steady.
Wheat, Barley and Rye are held firm, while
oats and Corn are dull at unchanged quota
lions. On the Call Board to-day business was
confined principally to Wheat of which 5000
tons We're sold-2, 900 of buyer Dece Inber at a
range of from 81 3314 TO 81 $685., and 500
tons buyer September at 81 2SH. For seller
The year, 81 80 was asked, but only 81 2714
bid. But one transaction occurred in Barley,
100 tons buyer December at 9O3zc. Prac-
tically no business was done in the sample
market, and no change in quotations.
Hay and other Feed-stuffs are neglected,
with quotations a trifle lower.
Butter and cheese are steady, rich new of
the latter being IN brisk demand and looking
upward. Eggs are very firm under slight adj
vance in quotations.
There was better movement to-day in
Vegetables than for two weeks past. Receipts
were light, which enabled dealers to clean up
pretty well. Prices were well maintained on
all kinds. The Potato market was quite brisk,
while Onions We're also active. Prices range
higher.
cepting inferior grades. Choice Bartlett Pears
are scarce, while cooking varieties of Pears
are increasing in quantity and far beyond the
demand. Peaches clean mp splendidly at sat
isiactory prices. Plums are stronger owing to
light receipts: ditto with Prunes Juicy Apples
are in abundance, of inferior grade, which
Gamers refuse at 81 per ton. However, the
very choice are in splendid demand at as
high as 81 % per box. River Isabella Grapes
bring 81 per box, and the tone of the market
for all kinds firmer. 1t is noticeable fact
that shipments to date have increased more
than 5000 tons over last years exports of
Green Fruit, which amounted to $500 tons.
Good demand for Dried Fruit still prevails
and the market very steady.
Poultry moves fairly well at unchanged
quotations. There is comparatively limited
market for Livestock and Provisions.
