SAN FRANCISCO, October goth.
Spot business in Wheat is not active. In
speculative circles, however, there has been
lively times this week and Call Board con-
tracts have been numerous at marked adj
vances in prices. The influence OF this class
of trade has naturally been felt In the sample
market, where holders asked high prices.
The market for feed qualities of Barley has
a healthy appearance, though the volume of
business is still of moderate proportions.
Brewing grades continue in request for over
land shipment. Stocks of Chevalier are about
exhausted. Supplies of Oats are large, but
easy prices bring out pretty good demand
and dealers make no complaint about busi-
ness.
The Vegetable market opened dull this
morning, with heavy receipts. Potatoes are
steady. Onions are firm. Other descriptions
are weak.
Very little demand was reported for Fresh
Fruits to-day Grapes are a drug in the
market. Choice Apples sell well.
The Butter market is weak at decline.
Eggs are higher and in moderate supply.
Cheese is firm.
The Poulty market is weighted down with
heavy Eastern receipts. Game in good condl-
ton sells well.
