The Oat Market Heavily
Stocked at Present.
Sax FRANcIsco. October 18th.

SAN FRANCISCO, october 18th.
The sample market shows firmer tone in
Wheat under the influence Of Call Board
operations. For export purposes the price OF
Wheat is too high for any margin of profit, as
compared with Liverpool quotations. As
conseo uence business just now is confined TO
speculative trading, which is quite lively.
Moderate trade in Barley is in progress, with
out any special change in values. The Oat
market is heavily stocked at present, and
buyers have the advantage.
The Vegetable market is quiet and un-
changed. Business is dull. Potatoes are un-
changed. Onions are higher. Green Corn Is
weak, with light receipts.
The Fruit market is glutted with Grapes
and sales of table were made as low as 10c =
box. Cantaloupes are lower and in light de-
mand. Good Apples sell fairly well.
There are no reductions made III Butter, but
the market is weak. Eggs still hold up. but
1t takes large, well-colored Egg to bring top
quotations. Cheese is firm.
The Poultry market is duh for everything
but Hens. Well-conditoned Game sold well
to-day.
