SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Il, 1892.
Commercial circles were not particularly
active to-day. Wheat is stif on call and for
spot transactions In the former market We
can report slight advance, and there is
every indication that further advance viii
take place shortly, with the Eastern market
firm and the foreign stih. But very little is
Offering In the spot market and holders are
aparhetic as to whether they will sell at quo
tauons or not 1t would seem that an i'm
provement is not far distant. Freights are
very sti1, with some little chartering going
on. On Change to-day 2,6OO tons iof Wheat
were sold. Ofthis amount 1900 tons were
Buyer December at from 81 3714 to 81 371a;
700 May delivery at 81 Az to 81 4155, and
700 tons, Seller '92, at 81 34, strong.
Barley is steady in the spot market, with
little doing. Feed Barley is especially sought
after. There were no option transactions.
Oats and Corn are very dull. Beans are
stiff, with upward tendancy. Rye Is firm at
an advance, with not great deal offering.
Dairy Produce remains substantially the
same as attime of last report. Ifthere is any
change 10 note it is slightly weaker feeling
on Butter.
Garden Truck is dragging heavily. Onions
and Potatoes are steady at quotations.
Not great deal OF fruit arrived to-day and
having been packed Saturday it was not af-
fected by late heavy rains. The desire. how
ever, of consumers seems 10 be affected by
pluvial dispensatlons, and trading was, in
consequence, very light to-day. There was
slightly better feeling for Grapes, which was
about the only change since Saturday.
Dried Fruits are steady, but the volume of
trade is limited
Game was weak to-day, Quail declining to
81 for pretty fair quality.
Lard is stiff and other Provisions firm,
