San RANClSCO, July Ii, 1872.
For the week under review trade in general
merchandise was quite active In canned
Fruits, Beans, Peas and Tomatoes there is a
stronger tone in sympathy with an improve
ment at the East. Eastern mail advices re-
port stronger market for Mackerel and
French Sardtnes, under reports of lighter
catch. In farm produce there has been more
trading in cereals. Wheat held strong; Barley
advanced slightly, while Oats and Corn held
steady. Feedstuff has moved off freely under
better demand. Butter has ruled weak
Cheese ruled strong, and Eggs for ''as is'
ruled weak and In buyers favor. Potatoes
have been in good demand for shipping, but
only ripe sold at outside prices. Onions
have held to steady prices. Seasonabe gar
den stuff shaded off under freer receipts.
Cherries, Currants and Gooseberries are not
quoted. The last two are out of market while
the former are out of season and prices are so
Irregular and have such wide range that
correct quotations are hard 10 give. Gamers
are buying Apricots freely, paying an
advance for the more choice. They
are also contracting at slight advance
for other canning tree fruits. The market is
healthy and strong. Packers and dryers are
also paying good prices Dried fruits are in
good demand with an advance bid on prices
ruling at this time in last year. The quality
will be better. Live stock is advancing.
Poultry after making a decioed advance fell
back again, closing lower than at this time
In last week. Honey is wanted. Beans are
coming in freely but the market holds steady.
The local money market continues to rule
easy. There is an increasing inquiry for
funds against warehouse grain.
Mining shares to-day were dull but there
was a strong undertone at a decline 1t is
now given out that J. w. Mackay will not
visit this coast before October News from
the Comstock mines is said to be much bet
ter. The battery assays of ore miIled by
Belcher and Crown Point are higher. Well
Informed miners are very hopeful of good re-
suits from the work being done in two or
more of the mines.
