Especial Correspondence REcoRD-UNroN.I


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. II, 1892.
In reviewing the markets for the past week
but few new features can be advanced. The
Cereal market, at a decline, has been duh and
unsatisfactory, while trading in other lines
has been moderate, if any change showing
slight improvement.
When our report closed last Thursday it
was hoped with the disposal of politics busi-
mess would improve and the markets would
receive full share of attention. As far as
Wheat is concerned a decline has to be re-
corded, and at this writing business is very
dull at quotations. The English market has
been sluggish, while Chicago and Eastern
marts have been dull, consequently the local
has been depressed. Producers are Offering
but moderately and exporters are not eager
to make purchases with the conditions as
they are With heavy surpluses throughout
the country what the outcome will be time
only can tell. Freights naturally have been
inactive. Owners are asking 20 shillings Tor
large iron ships, with 23s ed offered. Options
covering 800 tons of Wheat were sold this
morning-1Oo tons of May at 81 365z; 100
tons Seller '92 at 81 81, and 100 tons Buyer
December at 81 3254.
Barley has held its own in the spot market,
choice feed being especially in good demand.
heexport demand mas fallen nofconsiderably.
No sales were reported to-day on Change.
Oats, Corn and Rye have not changed in
prices. The feeling is steady, but little doing.
Bran MiddlIngs and other mill products
are steady at prices quoted. Choice Hay is
steady, but other kinds weak in feeling.
Hops are in light export demand, and local
consumers are not buying heavily. The mar
lzet IS barely steady.
Butter experienced a little better feeling to-
day, but still buyers can get all they want at
it does start to go up it will go jump.
Cheese Is steady. Eggs are a little easier in
feeling, especially for Eastern. Supplies are
ample. Honey and Beeswax are not over
abundant and are firmly held.
The Poultry market was IN fine condition
to-day, higher prices prevailing. Turkeys,
especially, are in demand, as well as fat Hens.
Dressed Turkeys are now feature of the
market, ranging from 17c to 2oc per pound.
Game sells fairly wen. Choice is in good
demand.
\ Onions went jumping to-day, large quanti-
Ties selling as high as 81 per sack. Receipts
arte light.
sweet Potatoes also experienced brisk de-
inland, at from 75c to 81 per sack. There is
faih shipping demand, and good local trade
for bther kinds of Potatoes.
Pears of all kinds are in ample supply
Choice Red Apples are scarce Grapes are
no longer asked for to any extent, and heavy
receipts have overburdened the market.
Citrus Fruits and Dried Fruits, also Raisins,
are in fair inquiry.
Provisions are firm.
Dealers report no changes in staples and
general merchandise.
