SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 1892.
General trade was quiet to-day. In farm
produce there was a continued fair inquiry
for Wheat, Barley and Oats. The light offer
ings restrict business in Wheat. Export buy
ers do not appear to be anticipating their
wants. Crop advices from Europe are more
closely watched than the market. Mail ad-
vices just TO hand state that the Russian Off
cial crop report states thatadvices from 4, 100
agents indicate an average harvest of Wheat
ana Rye, but the Corn crop will be under the
average. A good crop of summer Wheat is
expected. Other summer crops are above the
average. The Mark Lane Express, under date
OF London July 4th says: "The Wheat har
vest has commenced in the south of France,
and generally satisfactory yield is expected
on the strong lands, but q short one on the
light soils. In the eastern provinces appear
ances are excellent and the weather favorable
for kernlng. In the west the position of the
winter Wheat gives satisfaction, but the
spring crop leaves much 10 be desired. In the
center complaints are heard and in three of
the departments the yield will be very small.
In the north blooming is being effected in
very favorable conditions, and fairly good re-
with some exceptions, the harvest does not
appear likely to be abundant in the north and
northwestern regions" Barley in the local
market holds TO strong prices Notwithstanding
buyers do not show any anxiety to anticipate
their wants, but il is quite generally claimed
that they are quietly picking up all the choice
parcels that can be had at current quotations.
Hay continues to come in very freely, and with
buyers fairly stocked concessions have to be
made for OFT quality Butter, Eggs and Cheese
continue slow and weak for poor 10 good, but
for choice to gilt-edged the market strengthens
slowly. Garden stuff to-day moved OF at
around prices current on yesterday. Both
Potatoes and Onions were weak. Peaches Pears
and Apricots were weaker. Gamers are run
ming on Apricots, which makes Peaches and
Pears move slowly; but next week they will
start on the last two, when it is thought better
prices will obtain for them. The market
is supplied with culls which has bad effect
on the more choice. Nectarlnes and Figs
come in slowly. Apples are steady. 1t is
thought the shipping demand, which is ex-
pected to obtain on tomorrow will cause
slightly better prices. Poultry was un-
changed to-day. Poor stock is in over-supply
and fat stock is correspondingly scarce Beans
were quiet.
In mining shares trading was quiet to-day
at around prices ruling on yesterday II is
the accepted opinion on the street that the
various mining companies on the Comstock
will lease or own their own mills. BY owning
or leasing the mills all cause for complaint on
the part of shareholders will accordingly be
done away with. Under the present milling
system u has been repeatedly stated that an
inside ring got away with a large part Of the
bullion while levying assessments.
