SAN FRANCISCO, July 12, 1892.
General trade was quite active to-day, with
large volume OF goods going out to coast
ports and agricultural districts. There is a
general strengthening in canned fruits, canned
Peas and String Beans, owing TO an improved
demand from and stronger tone at the East.
In farm produce there was weaker feeling,
and slightly lower prices for Wheat, Barley
ana Oats, but Rye and Corn were steady. The
lower prices for wheat were for spot parcels
on the wharf which had to be moved. The
lower prices for Barley and Oats were caused
by wharf parcels selling to save expenses.
Ground feed was steadier to-day. The ereceipts
of both vegetables and fruit were large, but
under q good local and shipping demand the
market was cleaned up Of the more choice
at an early hour, but poor stuff dragged.
Poultry was weak at lower prices to-day un-
der free receipts of Californian and arrival of
carload of Eastern.
Mining shares opened steady this morning
at prices ruling at the close on yesterday
afternoon, but towards noon a pronounced
bull movement set in, with Belcher, in the
Gold Hill group, Hale q Norcross, in the mid
die group and Ophir, in the north end, the
leaders. What the move was made on is not
fully understood, outside OF a desire on the
part of manipulators to make few short
sellers I'LL at a loss. To do this efectually and
at the same time get others to buy, bull points
are put out or similar methods brought into
play.
