The Wheat Market at San Francisco
Continues Very Dull.
Movement In Feed Descriptions of Bar
ley Not of Large Volume, Though
Offerings are Liberal.
sAN FRANc1sco. October i;

! Inc w neat business Keeps very uuIl, Will
out anything of specially encouraging charac.
ter in the immediate situation. Values re-
main soft, under fair offerings and light de
mand. The movement in feed descriptions o1
Barley is not of large volume though offer
tngs are of liberal proportions. There is fail
demand for Brewing Barley for railroad ship
ment, but much business in this way is trans
acted at interior points, and therefore has no
| perceptible effect on local trade.
In speaking of Hops the Commercial Ne,OS
says "An easier tone has prevailed since
last report, due to bearish news from the
East, and for several days supplies might
have been secured upon terms more favorable
to the buyer. More recently, however, the
tendency has improved slightly, and under q
better inquiry this decline has been arrested
sales Of medium at 1870 D ID being evidence
that the range of 16t920c . tb is reasonable IN
the absence OF transactions in choice. The
Eastern markets have ruled dull, but at the
close holders seemed less desirous of meeting
the market at decline, the belief being That
the present dullness is temporary"
Grapes continue to come in very freely in
all varieties, and the result is that the market
is oVercrowded. Receipts this morning were
particularly heavy for black and white Mus
cats, Tokay and Rose Peru The demand is
only moderate, and the result is that dealers
are left with large stocks on their hands.
Apples continue to come in in plentiful sup
ply, but most of the shipments are of poor
stock. Good stocks, in fact, are very scarce,
and the demand for them is consequently
good.
The demand for Poultry this morning was
light, Hens and Broilers seeming TO be the
only varieties for which there was any call.
Two Eastern carloads arrived yesterday,
which had rather depressing effect on'the
market.
Eggs are coming in slowly, but the demand
for California products is small, the trade
seeming TO run TO the Eastern article.
