SAN Francisco, Nov. IL, 1892.
Wheat was higher again to-day and trans
actions more liberal. From the latest crop
reports it is now estimated that available
surpIuses of Wheat for export will not exceed
2l,ooo,o0o bushels Of Wheat, which is
much lower estimate than spectators have
considered and on which the market was
based. Hence the tidings caused better
| feeling all around, and values advanced in
! Chicago and New York. While conservative
| spectators do not look for an advance, they
! firmly believe the present quotations viii be
/ at least maintained, This is partially en-
couraging, although when compared with
| preceding years the prices seem very low.
| Since our last report freights have been at a
| stanGstill, with 23s Sd bid and 25s asked for
\ Wheat ships. Scarcity of Wheat offerings
have kept shippers from taking vessels at
| 25s, but with n firm English market, char
| tering may be expected at this quotation. At
| the present time there is disengaged tonnage
of 10000 tons carrying capacity, whereas a
year ago 1850 tons were all that was
available.
The total sales of Wheat ON Change this
morning amounted to $500 tons, of which
2,7OO tons were May at from 81 36A 10
81 3o15; the remaining 100 tons were Buyer
December at 81 So.

Two hundred tons May at from 943Ic to

9O1ac to 9O7gc and 700 tons December at

No change took place in other Cereals and
various produce classed under that heading.
Butter is still very weak. Stocks on hand
are heavy and twice as large as on a CORE
spending date last year Cheese is steady,
Eggs firm.
Poultry is moving well. Choice Hens,
Boosters and Broilers are especially in good
| inquiry. Game sells readily If it is of good
quality.
No change in Vegetables.
Grapes arrived in heavy supply to-day, and
there being poor inquiry the market is giut-
ted. Berries are also slow OF sale, although
receipts are not very large. Dried Apples are
lower, the only change to note on Dried
Fruits.
Provisions are steady.
