Shows Better Tone.
SAN FRANCISCO. September / 9Th.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 18th.
The Wheat market is in sensitive condition.
Prices have been ruling so low that the slight
est favorable circumstance has stimulating
effect OF course, the local market acts in
sympathy with the situation at Liverpool.
News to-day from the latter place reports an
improvement, and the market here promptly
responds. Shippers have bought freely so far
this season and seem inclined TO continue
purchasing, paying whatever advanced rates
may be justified by the better condition OF
affairs at foreign centers. Trade in feed de-
Ecriptions OF Barley is fairly steady, though
the aggregate volume of business is not OF
particularly large proportions. Prices, how
ever, are moderately well sustained, especially
for the brighter kind of offerings. Business
in Brewing Barley is not near as pronounced
as it was a month ago, there being less COM
petition from buyers for shipment, while
prices are less firm in consequence. Still, a
strictly prime article is expected to hold its
own, as there is almost sure to be local de-
mand enough to absorb all first-class offer
tngs in due season. The market is showing
better tone. and dealers have more confidence

duction Of stocks, that matters have
gradually worked in favor of the selling in
