SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ID, 1899.
There was a gratifying, much improved
tone to the local market to-day. In several
instances quotations advanced, and generally
the market was very steady. There was not
much business transacted, as has been the
case for some time past, on the Produce Elk
change. Reports from East say the market is
steady on Wheat with heavy movement.
On the Call Board to-day 3, 500 tons OF Buyer
December Wheat changed hands, ranging
from 81 33sz01 337s. September delivery,
800 tons of Wheat were sold at from 81 29@
! 293s, Barley is steady, there being some
export and brewing demand. To-days re-
ceipts were also light, Oats are lower anu
gradually declining Corn is steady. Fruit
cleaned up well to-day under lighter recelpts
and fairly active demand from Gamers out
side OF the routine business, Bartlett Pears
and PIums of prime quality continue in good
demand as well as choice Peaches. Berries OF
all kinds and Figs are scarce. Grapes are IN
heavy receipt and the market is neglected.
Poultry was a shade firmer to-day, ana the
market quotable little higher. Butter was
easier, Roll Butter being weak. The demand
for Cheese has slaekened, which renders the
market little weak. Eggs are steady at good
quotations. There is no activity whatever IN
Vegetables. Receipts are quite large and the
demand is not sufficient to clean up. Sweet
POTATOES were n SDade HfIlleT anu duNducfu
slightly to-day. Potatoes are being shipped
largely TO Eastern markets, one nrm send
ing fifteen carloads yesterday, and there Is
really not enough good quality Potatoes TO
satisfy shipping demand, Onions were firm
nj advance in Quotations.
