ing Confidence.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 27th.
There is no activity in the sample Wheat
market, while prices have remained station
airy for several days, the situation not being
favorable to sellers. There is little more life
to the feed market for Barley, and holders
seem to have more confidence in the situation
At the same time it may be well to state that
there is no lack of offerings so that all reason
able wants can be promptly satisfied. For
Brewing descriptions there is still fairly good
inquiry for export purposes, and prices show
steadying tone. Oat buyers have not been
very numerous this week, and no great inroad
has been made on stocks. Prices remain easy.
Concerning the Hop situation, the CONNER
ciaI Net0s says: "The inquiry has not been at
all free recently, But holders are firm in their
views, and values are pretty well maintained
within the limits last presented. The Eastern
market remains quiet but hrm, with transac-
tionS in choice at primary points at 22c q H..
The English situation is without feature OF
moment, but news from Germany is OF much
Importance. confirming as 1t does early re-
ports of injury to the crop that might materi-
ally reduce the yield. The second Consular
report, Just received, places the return at a.
5000 metric hs, compared with 49,O29,-
but the quantity will, it is evident, fall ma
teFially below first estimates The average for
the past ten years has been 53,452, $50 lbs. ="
There was nothing new in Vegetables this
morning and prices were weak under slow
demand. Potatoes are steady. Onions hold
firm with light arrivals.
Fresh Fruits moved of slowly to-day. and
business generally was duller tnan 1t has
been at any other time during the season.
Table Grapes are Il drug on the market. some
Eastern varieties have been received. Melons
are scarce.
There has been no further decline in Butter
and the demand is fair. Fancy Eastern Eggs
are very firm to arrive. Cheese is steady.
The Poultry market is very dull and weak,
with heavy stocks on hand. Game did not
sell well to-day, and prices were steady.
