SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6, 1892.
There is no improvement TO the dull state
of affairs in the local markets. Everybody
seemed to be more or less interested in pol
itics, and business is apparently given second
consideration. Especially in Produce Ex-
change transactions is dullness noted.
All the Wheat sold this morning did
not amount to more than 400 tons,
which were for May delivery at 81 5000
1 3619. Buyers and sellers are very cautious
under the uncertain conditions of the mar
ket at present and future prospects. Ofer-
ings are moderate and the demand CORE
spending The spot market is rather firm.
The tone of foreign markets is steady with
light sales.
Barley is steady and sold better this morn
ing, when 1 400 tons changed hands. OF this
amount 400 tons were Buyer December at
from 92@921Ic; 500 tons of May at from
951S@95Lc; 100 tons January at 917sc, and
100 tons December at 91Ac. The spot mar
ket is firm.
A fair volume of business was transacted
in Oats and Corn to-day. Prices are steady.
Butter is gradually improving until at pres
ent a steady feeling exists. Fancy mild new
Cheese is scarce and in good demand. Eggs
are advancing under light receipts and good
call.
Onions are firmly held Potatoes are in
plentiful supply and moving moderately
WELL
Good fruits are in active demand, and even
the poorer grades are moving. Grape receipts
are quite heavy, but they seem to clean up
well. Pears are readily taken; so are choice
apples. Citrus fruits so far of poor quality,
being unripe and selling low.
The Poultry market is in poor condition
and enough stock will have to be carried
over TO supply the market the coming week.
Turkeys are especially dull.
Game is readily taken at quotations. Quail
dropped to as low as s71ac, owing to heavy
receipts and poor quality.
