SAN FRANCISCO, oct. 19, 1892.
Wheat was weak to-day in the option
market, owing to Chicago and New York
advices, which quote the market at IL cents
lower than yesterday. This decline is brought
about by Bradstreets' confirmation OF the
United States Government report concerning
large Wheat surpluses. To-day's transac-
uons on Change footed up 3,40O tons, as fol-
lows: 1900 tons Buyer December at from
81 351s TO 81 35$z, and 100 tons May de-
livery at from 81 391l 10 81 39]4. Although
the spot market did not nuctuate in prices,
the feeling was weakened somewhat, and the
market was only steady. We can report no
new charter. NO perceptible change for the
better has taken place in the English market
(which governs the local as far as freights are
coneerned), and during the last little rush all
shippers were pretty well supplied with YES
sells. There is no demand for freights at last
rates reported, unless it would be for small
iron ships We quote 25s for orders for large,
although az moment it might be hard to TX
at that rate.
Barley holds up fairly in the spot market,
although there is no particular activity. OPP
tions were dealt in to the extent of 500 tons,
ofwhich 500 were December at from S9@
s9}z cents. and 500 tons Of January at from
s91599o cents.
Other Cereals are unchanged. Mustard
Seed, being very scalce has advanced con-
siderabiy. Rape Seed is also better.
Extra fancy new Cheese is firm, other grades
steady.
Vegetables are about same as last report.
excepting Tomatoes, Cucumbers and String
Beans, which have advanced. The market is
dun.
Apples, which have been at a standstlI and
aa in, ho tod
TO move more freely. Winter Nelies
Pears sell well. Strawberries and Kasp-
berries arrived in light supply to-day, and
cleaned up well. Lines are stiu declining,
owing to their poor quality and heavy sup
Poultry was firmer to-day. Hens and Young
boosters are quOtable higher
