SAN FRANCISCO. October 31st.
There is not much activity in the sample
Wheat market. The operations on shipping
account are of very small proportions, while
the demand for milling purposes is not of suf-
hcent magnitude to cause any stir in the sit
uation. Prices are easy. There is steadier
tone to the Barley market, and prices for both
feed and brewing descriptions are shaping
somewhat more favorably for the selling in
terest. Bright, clean Feed Barley is not plen-
tif1l. and holders are not using any pressure
to realize. The steady shipping movement
that has prevailed for some time in brewing
descriptions is telling on stocks, which are
now anything but heavy. AS a consequence,
the outlook for sellers is more encouraging
than it has been in long while. The oats
market shows improving symptoms. A de-
cidedly better feeling prevails than existed a
week ago, owing to some extent to lighter re-
ceipts and rather more general demand.
These two circumstances have 50 helped mat
ters OF late that dealers have been able TO es-
1ablish a small advance in prices.
The Vegetable market is dull and prices are
generally weak. Corn is nearly out. Potatoes
are coming in heavily and prices are very
weak. Onions are in light supply and prices
are firm.
The market for Fresh Fruit is quiet, with
few changes in prices. Grapes are weak for
ali table Varieties. Zinfandel sold as high as
SO per ton. Choice Apples are in demand.
The Butter market is weak at the decline for
all fresh grades. Choice Eggs are firm. with
lower prices for of grades. Cheese is un-
changed.
The Poultry market is duh and weak under
heavy receipts. Game OF all kinds was lower
to-day.
