SAN FRANCIsco, Sept. 13, 1892.
A steadier tone to foreign markets had q
corresponding local effect on Change this
morning. However, to-day's transactions
were light, aggregating 2 900 tons of Wheat at
the informal session, and at the regular ses-
sion 900 tons of Wheat and 700 tons of Bar
ley. Seller the year Wheat was offered at
81 %, but 81 2715 was accepted, one lot
changing hands at 81 275S. Offerings were
not very heavy, as there is no disposition on
the part Of holders to unload at quotations.
For buyer December Wheat the market
opened at 81 33sS and closed at 81 1874. In
the sample market business was very ouii.
Barley is steady. Oats are weak. with DOWN
ward tendency. There is practically no BUSH
ness being done with Rye and Corn. Feed
stuffs, excepting Rolled Barley and Hay, are
In good demand at quotations
The Butter market is steady on all grades
excepting fresh roll. Cheese is steady, While
Eggs are very firm, choice ranch Eggs meeting
with occasional sale at 40 cents per dozen.
No improvement can be noted in the vegeta-
BILE market Potatoes are meeting with fair
sale, but heavy receipts prevent the market
from advancing materially. Sweet Potatoes
are a little weaker.
The fruit market is fairly active. Choice
Clingstone Peaches will sell readily for 3
cents per pound, while the poorer grades,
which supply the trade go begging at Ia
cents. Pears are rather weak, since Gamers
are no longer buying and the local demand is
not sufficient to clean up. Heavy receipts of
Grapes and Figs continue and the market is
over supplied. Plums are steady. With other
fruit there is no noteworthy change since last
report.
The poultry market showed little i'm
provement to-day, with slight advance in
quotations. Provisions are rather weak.
