SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 1892.
The markets to-day We're somewhat better
In some particular lines. The feeling Tor
Wheat was much improved in both spot and
option circles, with little higher quotations
on latter. Offerings were very limited as
compared with yesterday. This better feeling
Is owing principally to Eastern adyices. Sales
On floor of Produce Exchange amounted to
1900 tons at the regular session, of whlch
1900 were Wheat, as follows: 500 tons May
at 81 371s; 500 tons Seller '92 at from
81 3154 to 81 50, and 800 tons Buyer De
cember at 81 3314.
Barley is strongly held, offerings being very
light. Only 200 tons were sold on Change,
Buyer December at from 911&c to 9154c.
Oats are firm but dull. Corn is steady.
Other Cereal products are unchanged.
Butter shows no Improvement and is weak
at quotations. Cheese is steady, fancy Cali
fornia new mild being scarce and firm. Eggs
are strong, with advance likely to follow.
Selected ranch have sold as high as 421ac.
Garden Truck continues inactive. Good
Potatoes are in demand and also onions.
Green Fruits present no new features Ar
rivals are ample for demand. Apples con-
tinue weak.
Poultry market was ''sick" to-day, and
heavy stocks will be carried over to Monday.
Small broilers is the only redeeming feature
of foverstocked market. Arrivals of Eastern
stock have been large. Game, choice quality
is firm at last quotations.
Provisions, at quotations, are firm.
