Well Stocked.
SAN FRANcIsco, October I'd.
The holiday has not resulted in any i'm
provement in the Wheat market. Trade is
slow and prices remain easy. Shippers are
still buying at current rates, but they are not
pressed for grain, probably having enough to
meet all immediate engagements. Brewing
descriptions of Barley are fairly steady, oW-
ing to the recent lowering of overland 1relght
charges. Doubtless some liberal shipments
will 90 outward by rail. Feed qualities are
dull and slow, under liberal offerings ana
poor demand. The market is pretty wei
stocked with Oats at the moment, and buyers
have matters somewhat in their favor. 1hete
is very fair inquiry and sales OF rather goooly
proportions are being made.
The Hop situation is reviewed in Thomas
Produce Report as follows: "Harvesting of
Hops in California and Oregon is now almost
entirely finished The same thing may now
also be applied to Washington to great eX-
tent. The continuous fine weather has re-
suited in enabling growers TO gather ther
Hops in first.class condition, and, therefore,
the crop of 1898 will average OF better quality
than last year. In TACT, the quailty is superior
TO what we have seen for many a season At
present, buyers are busily engaged IN fecelN-
ing early contracts, and soon as they nave nm
ished with such, Will look around 1or new
business. The present receipts are IN excess
of demand. According TO reports received
from crops elsewhere, the crop IS much larger
than was expected some couple OF months
ago which has consequently upset the calcu-
lations of both buyers and sellers VINO inquired
on prospective shortage OF the Worlu sup
ply" ,.,,,
with heavy stocks on hand Tomatoes and
good Corn are in fir demand.
The receipts of Fresh Fruits are not excess
i've outside of Grapes. but the supply IS more
than equal to the demand. Wine Grapes
move OFF slowly. Choice Pears are scarce.
In Dairy Produce the price OF high grade
Butter and choice Ranch Eggs is well sus-
tanned. Cheese is dull and unchanged.
The Poultry market is well stocked. with
the demand light and prices weak. California
receipts are not heavy.
