The Wheat Market Shows a Declining
Tendency at San Francisco.
The Demand for Feed Purposes of
Barley Continues Light and Slow
Improvement In Oats.


at 81 O5 2 ctl with 81 06H for choice,
though some holders yet insist ON 81 O71a Tor
the latter class of stock. Millers are not dis
posed TO pay over 81 10 p ctl for the better
kind of milling Wheat, but transactions are
few at this or any other figure, as there is
more or less stock ahead for the mills TO work
on. The demand for feed purposes Of Barley
continues light and slow, with stocks IN ex-
cess of immediate requirements, causing easy
feeling in values. The inquiry tor Brewing
Barley for shipment has fallen off materially.
though prices are somewhat steadily main
tanned, because stocks are not large, especially
of really choice article. Supplies of Oats
are increasing, but the demand is also i'm
proving, and the market is beginning to show
more activity IN consequence. Prices are not
buoyant, but there is steady feeling to the
situation and no immediate decline IN quota
tions is considered likely.
Referring to Hops, the San Francisco Prices
Current says: 1.-THE local market is ruling dull,
and does not display any noteworthy
strength. Deliveries on contracts are doubt
less giving most dealers and shippers about
all they can conveniently take care of at pres
ent. Heavy damage from rains was recently
reported to the California crop. but later al
vices are TO the effect that no serious injury
resulted. The California crop is expected TO
be close on to $4,000 bales, and OF excellent
quality; the Washington crop probably not
less than $4,000 bales, and the Oregon yield
about %, 900 bales"
The Vegetable market opened quiet this
morning with prices steady as rule. Potatoes
are weak at quotations. Onions are firm.
Corn is in light supply and the demand Is not
particularly active.
The movement in fresh Fruit is rather slow.
Prices are unchanged, with the exception OF a
trIner tone in green Bartlett Pears Grapes
are plentiful. There is little demand for wine
Grapes.
The market for dairy produce is generally
firm. Fresh Butter is firm, especially Cream
cry, which sold up as high as 80 cents. The
lnNls1 md Gfn a

The Poultry market is dull with light de-
mand and prices steady. California receipts
