Especial Correspondence RECoRD-UNIoN.l
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24, 1892.
To-day the local markets were very quiet,
and no particular change in prices took place.
The spot market on Wheat was soft to-day,
and not above 81 3215 for choice shipping
could be realized. Options covering 1900
tons were sold, comprising 1900 tons of
Buyer December Wheat at from 81 35H to
81 3513, 100 tons May Wheat at S1s391S, and
200 tons OF December Barley at SS5sc. The
Chicago market was reported half cent
higher this morning on Wheat, which, it is
said, was owing TO crop reports having been
exaggerated previously. 1t is now estimated
that the entire crop OF Wheat in the United
States viii not exceed 4,oO1, 100 bushels. If
such is the case a reaction in favor of the pro
ducer must take place. At any rate, the mar
ket at present is conservatively believed TO be
at its lowest point. There is nothing doing III
freights, shipowners and shippers being
widely divergent as to chartering rates.
Barley was inactive today and weaker.
Corn is steady and Oats firm. Other cereals,
etc, are inactive at unchanged quotations.

but no change in prices noted. Cheese was
steady, and Eggs barely so. Honey and Bees
wax continue firmly held.
Garden truck moves very slowly. Potatoes
were in heavy supply, with but fair inquiry.
Winter Nellis Pears were in heavy supply,
and there being no shipping inquiry were
weaker than last report. Plums, Peaches.
Figs and Berries were very scarce. Grapes are
heavy and weak. Citrus and Dried Fruits are
slow at unchanged values.
No Poultry arrived to-day, but stock carried
over from last week was slow of sale. Game
was weaker, as usual on Monday.
Provisions are still very firm.
