Some Little Improvement Noted in
the Wheat Market.
The Barley Market in Fairly Healthy
Shape-Buyers of Oats Keeping
in the Background.
SANFRANcIsco. July 18th.

| SAN FRANCISCO, July 18th.
There has been some little Improvement in
the Wheat situation within a few days. The
comparatively low asking prices has brought
out buyers, and there is more activity at the
moment than has been witnessed in some
while. AT the same time it must be admit
ted that the movement is far from being gen.
eral and a much larger volume of business
/ could be transacted without giving occasion
( for any special remark or causing any great
/ buoyancy in values. At current rates it
I looks as if more or less custom could be
nursed along until better prospects abroad
would allow Of advanced asking figures. The
Barley market seems to be in fairly healthy
shape. Trade may not be quite as brisk as
4 some dealers would desire, but there is mod
crate demand for feed purposes, and offerings
are not neglected. Brewing quality meets
with toerably good favor, and holders OF lots
suitable Tor export purposes can lind Gus
toners within the quoted range. Nothing
doing in Chevalier. 1t is little too early for
! business in that line. Buyers of Oats keep in
| lne background. The recent marking down
! OF prices did not increase sales, and sellers
| would probably make further slight conces-
! slons II liberal trade could be secured by such
| action.
The Vegetable market is weak in nearly all
| lines OF stock, Corn especially so, the price
| running down TO 70 cents per sack. Potatoes
/ hold firm, and stocks are not more than suf-
/ 1iclent TO meet the demand. onions of all
kinds are higher. Receipts of Asparagus and
Rhubarb are very light, and prices are scarce
! ly worth quoting.
| The market for Fresh Fruits is well supplied
with all varieties. CantalOupes are offering in
small lois. Apricots are in heavy supply and
! lower. Some Green Grapes which came in
| met with sale. Raspberries are selling
| higher. Citrus Fruits of all kinds are dull.
There are no changes in Butter. Stocks are
! light in the better grades, with strong de-
4 mand; Choice Ranch Eggs are firm. Cheese
/ Is unchanged.
| The demand for Poultry is very quiet and
prices have downward tendency; receipts
OF California stock arc very light.
