SAN Francisco. August 9, 1892.
There was marked increase to-day in the
volume of goods sent out The buying was
largely for shipment TO coast ports, although
there was considerable buying for the country
and mining districts. In farm product the
market for cereals was frmer, with in some
instances an advance paid for straight par
GELS favorably situated. There was Tree in
curry to-day for ground feed for shipment up
north. Hay was quite weak for poor to fair,
with sales made at lower prices than quoted.
Choice Hay was not in over-supply. The
movement TO advance creamery, or Butter in
squares, does not appear to give promise OF
being successful, owing TO the trade turning to
rolls, which are equal IN quality to squares
and sell tor less money. Eggs were irregularly
weak. Dried Apricots are said TO be a shade
weaker, but for other dried fruits no changes
are reported. The market was weak for fresh
fruit, but with no material change IN quota
tions. The market begins to show the effect
OF liberal supplies OF trashy fruit. All the can
neries are running on Plums and Peaches
and only few on Pears. It is claimed that
by next week all VIII be running on Pears,
for Apricots are getting scarce. Blacllberries
Raspberries were higher. Poultry came in
more freely, but they sold wen. a carload OF
Eastern came to hand, but as the fowls had
been sold TO arrive they had no effect on the
market
A consignment of Naval Oranges and Sicily
Lemons came TO hand by the Australian
steamer. The Oranges sold ct SO p box. The
quality was good Gables went forward to
Australia for heavier shipments.
