COMMERCIAL.
Movement in Wheat of Fair Volume,
While Prices are Steady.
Spot Trading In Feed Descriptions of
Barley Tame, Prices Having
an Easy Tendency.
SAN FRANCISCO. September 18th.


while prices show steady tone. Offerings are,
perhaps, not quite so free as they were short
while ago, but so far exporters have been able
to promptly satisfy all wants. Shipping trade
promises TO be lively for the remainder Of the
month. Spot trading in feed descriptions OF
Barley is rather tame and prices have easy
tendency. The demand for brewing grades is
only moderate, owing to the falling off in
shipping custom. More interest is being
taken in Oats, causing increased trade and
steadying values.
The Commercial NelCS reviews the Hop situ-
alton as follows: "Picking is now general on
this coast, and it is evident from reports that
the result will be elninently satisfactory from
every point of view. The coast will have
large yield, and the quality, while possibly
mixed in the north, where growers were not
successful in overcoming vermtn, will, never
theless, average we'll. There seems at the
same time an excellent prospect for a ready
market at rates which, although possibly not
what some hoped for, will be quite reinunera-
tive. Eastern picking is practically at an
end, and the result is disappointing as to
quantity, while the quality was improved by
favorable weather at the close. The English
yield is variously estimated at f164 ,000@
100, 600 old duty, but it is admitted that the
Continent will be short. The outlook for
prices is, therefore, good"
There is nothing new in Vegetables. Prices
are steady and supplies heavy. Potatoes are
steady and Onions weaker. Tomatoes and
Green Corn are firmly held for choice lots
The Fresh Fruit market Is fairly active,
with low range of prices in all lines. There
is little demand for Watermelons. Grapes
are plentiful and dull.
The Butter market is steady, with firm
tone. Eggs are in good demand and prices
well sustained. Cheese is weak.
The Poultry market Is overstocked and
prices are weak all around. A carload of
Eastern was sold yesterday.
