Slight Improvement in the Wheat Sit
1ation at San Francisco.
Trade in Barley Quiet. the Demand
Being Slow for All De-
~ scriptions.
San FRANcrsco. september 5th.

-c SAN FRANCISCO, September 5th.
There was a slight improvement in the
), Wheat situation today. Barley trade is quiet,
the demand being slow for all descriptions.
Prices, however, have steady tone, and it
looks as If dealers would be able to at least
maintain current rates, which are considered
anything but high The demand for export is
falling off to some extent, which is not
favorable feature. There is fair sampling of
offerings OF Oats, and a moderate amount of
business is being transacted.
For Hops no inquiry of consequence. Grow
eIs are hopeful, and not at all anxious to
make contracts except at full figures. The
situation is summed up by Thomas Produce
Report as follows "The New York State crop
is doing fairly well, with a yield somewhat
lighter than last year. The Pacific Coast crop
is in splendid condition. From Oregon and
Washington there are no reports whatever of
the presence of vermin, and if nothing hap
pens between now and the end of harvest it
would not be surprising to see crop of 130,-
600 bales for the coast. Picking is now about
general in Sacramento districts, and almost
Immediately the Sonoma County and Rus
sian River district growers will also start in"
The vegetable market opened dull this
morning. Green Corn is firm. owing to
scarcity. sweet Potatoes are weak and in
light demand. The Potato market is steady.
Onions are firm.
The market for Fresh Fruits is weak
feaches brought a little better prices for fancy
stock. The Gamers bought at $50 per ton.
-Erapes are weak and slow of sale. ounces
nave made their appearance with sales at sc
per box.
While the Butter market is easier no decline
mas yet been reported in prices. The Egg
market is steady az quotations. Cheese is un-
changed.
Another carload of Eastern Fowl was put on
the market last night. Prices are weak all
around and the demand slow.
