SAN FRANCISCO. August 16. 1892.
There was decided increase in the volume
of goods sent out to-day The larger buying
was TO MI orders from coast ports. In Canned
Fruits the market is firm for extras, but sec
onds and pie fruit are easy The weaker
tone for the two latter is due TO lower prices
for canning varieties of fruit which do not
come up to choice. China Rice by sail was
oIered to-day 81 concessions. The market
lor Cereals was quiet, with buyers holding OF
so as TO secure concessions. The low prices
Dld for Wheat caused farmers TO hold back
their better grades. Very little good to choice
is being offered. The shipments foreignwards
are light. Barley is firmly held. The ship
ments by sea SO far this season show large
gain over the shipments during the like time
IN last year. The crop in the United States IS
placed by the United States Agricultural De-
partment at 100000 bushels less than the
yield in 1891. oats were firm to-day. Heavy
receipts of Bran from up north caused
weaker tone in our market. Other ground
feed were unchanged Hay was slow and
weak for poor to fair. Butter was lower to-
day. Eggs and Cheese held their own. Gar
den truck was generally weaker. The market
continues overstocked with poor to second
quality mutt. Choice fruit was very scarce
to-day. Free receipts of Poultry caused the
market TO weaken. Cheap fruit and warm
weather are against Poultry and Meat.
Silver in London and New York was strong
ut slight advance.
