The same authority gives the estimated sur
plus of Wheat in exporting countries, cereal
year 1S92-93, as follows: Russia, II, 100000;
Danube and Turkey, 100000; Hungary,
100000; Germany, 100000; India, Per
STA and Asia Minor, 100000; United States
and Canada, 2o,0OO,00O; Australasia and
South America, 100000; sundries, 2,O0O,-
600. Total, 81 100000 qrs. The totals showa
surplus of 40S, 100000 bushels to supply
demand of 324 100000 bushels.
The total departures from California in the
past eight months steam and sail, were GIG
vessels, having an aggregate tonnage of 1884,
394 tons, against $50 vessels, of S23, 696
tons for the first eight months of 1891.
The Barley market has steadily improved
during the past week, the demand being good,
especially for brewing and No. 1 shipping.
The receipts have been moderate.
The demand for Corn, Rye and Oats has
been rather limited and the markets dull, with
decline in quotations on Oats.
The Produce Exchange has issued sc, 900
copies of a neat little folder for circulation
throughout the State for the purpose of call
ing more general attention to the methods of
transacting business on the Call Board and by
way of explaining the same. To many the
system of dealing in grain options is not
clearly understood, and not few have proba-
bly, been deferred on this account from enter
ing the speculative arena.
a full meeting ofmembers OF the exchange
will be held on the goth inst, when the pro-
position to sell the exchange building, the
money derived to be divided amongst the
stockholders, will be considered. Much in
terest is manifested.
Fruits of all kinds have moved actively
s1uring the past week. There has been es-
peciaIly active demand for choice Bartlett
Pears, Peaches and Plums. Gamers are still
buying each, but the first named, and from
now on the market will decline unless re-
ceipts OF that fruit are lighter. Grapes, Apples
and Melons are in plentiful supply. Berries
of all kinds are scarce in the markets, for
which there is a fair demand at high quota
lions.
The arrival of q carload of Poultry from the
East interrupted the very steady condition of
the local trade. There is moderate demand,
however, under the heavy receipts.
Vegetables of all kinds, excepting Tomatoes,
have been inactive since last weekly report.
Gamers are now using only Tomatoes which
were secured by contract some time ago, and
heavy receipts will weaken the market.
Dairy Products, excepting Butter, are firm.
Ranch Butter is very weak.
Receipts of Potatoes We're very light to-day
and there is not enough to satisfy the active
demand From now on it is expected the re-
ceipts will largely increase. For general lines
of fba~
quiry at quotations given below.
To-Day's Business.
On Change to-day Barley was principally
dealt in, the transactions footing up $500
tons, principally Buyer December The mar
ket varied from 1890 to 922Sc. A few tons
of Seller December were sold at from 81 to
911S cents.
The market on Wheat to-day was steady
total sales amounting to 1 900 tons of Buyer
December at 81 1885. The sample market
was devoid of interest.
Improvement was noted on Change to-day
and nearly all the leading business firms were
represented. There is better feeling all around
Cereals.
