SAN FRANCISCO July 6, 1892.
In general merchandise a large volume of
goods went out to-day on orders, with up-coast
ports taking quite literally. White Lead and
Iinseed Oil sold higher. In farm produce
there was fair inquiry for Wheat, but the
offerings were lighter. Barley met with
good demand. Oats were steady. Corn, un-
der heavy offerings from Utah. broke badly.
The Fruit market cleaned up WELL although
in some instances there was a slight shaving
in Berries Tree Fruit was generally better,
although one or two varieties sold down,
Bullocks are crowding the market at lower
prices. Eggs appears to be steadying tor bet
ter prices. Poultry is higher under moderate
receipts and a good demand. Vegetables
were generally unchanged. Potatoes were
slightly weaker.
On tomorrow and early Friday morning an
active demand will rule for Fruit and spring
Vegetables for shipment to up-coast ports
Mining shares were very active this morn
ing under strong manipulation in the shares
of the Gold Hill and the middle group of
mines. Belcher was the leader of the first
named and Savage ofthe latter. Experienced
and well informed operators look with sus-
picion on the move. They claimed that
although the market is liable TO go slightly
higher il will drop down soon again. The
move appears to be made TO make the
shorts nil and at the same time TO sell as
much as possible at the higher prices.
