SAN Francisco, Oct. 20, 1892.
The past week has been devoid of any par
ticular interest save in the Wheat market,
which closes weak at quotations about cent
lower than last Thursday Values in all lines
have huetuated but very little since our last
weekly resume. AS far as the local financial
situation is concerned, money alHsost goes
begging at low rates of interest. Inquiry is
confined to loans for real estate investment,
Tor which in the midst OF q political campaign
there is limited call. Wheat has been weak
al the week, and the back of the market was
broken when confirming advices were re-
eeived as TO surplus crops throughout the
country. To-day the spot market was forced
down a little by these reports, and with the
present barely steady feeling 1t is hard to
prophecy when better market win be had.
But to-day the largest amount of business
transacted for the season on Change was
done, footing up grand total of 900 tons,
comprised as follows: $500 tons Buyer De-
cember at from 81 353s to 81 SO, $500 tons
of May at from 81 395E TO 81 391a, and 800
tons Seller '92 at from 81 339s to 81 331z.
The English market was weak owing to
American reports, while the Chicago and
New York markets were weak.
There has been no perceptible change in
Barley up to to-day. This morning, however,
offerings were very large, with few sales.
which IS indicative of a weak feeling, and
that lower prices may prevail.
oats is steady, Corn dull, Rye firm. Feed
Cornmeal, Cracked Corn and Flour have de
clined little since last weekly report.
Friday having been proclaimed a legal hoii-
day by the President, no session of the Pro
duce Exchange Will be held on that day or
Saturday.

Butter. Cheese continues steady. Choice
Ranch Eggs clean up well, and the market is
quoted firm for them. Other kinds OF Eggs

sale all the week, excepting Cucumbers and
Tomatoes. \ choice box of the latter viii sell
at this writing as high as 65 cents.
The market closes firm on Potatoes. and
Onions. Good shipping demand prevails.
The rains in the early part Of the week have
effected the fruit market considerably, es
pecially Grapes, which are very slow Of sale
at quotations. Bartlett Pears are entirely out
of the market. Winter Nellis sell very we'll,
while a good common Pear is also readily
taken. A few Silver Prunes have been in the
market and sold for 81 %. Red Plums are
scarce. Freestone Peaches, also CIings, Of
good quality bring fancy prices. Apples are
moving well for choice kinds. Cantaloupes
are OF such poor quality they are not quotable.
Berries Of all kinds are rather scarce. Ounces
sell as high as 81 for choice.
Bananas, which have been out of the mar
ket Tor week. arrived in large supply to-day
and are quotable at from 81 so to So so per
bunch.
Dried Fruits have been steady, but rather
inactive. Raisins are now arriving freely

very firm, with advancing tone 10 Hams.
