Situation at San Francisco.
The Barley Market Showing a Little
More Tone-offerings of Oats in
Excess of Demand.
sAv FRANc1sco. August ga.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 9TH.
There is a gradual Improvement in the
Wheat situation, both IN the volume of busi-
ness and in appreciations OF values. New
crop is being sent forward and exporters are
showing better disposition to purchase, so
That movement is more general than il has
been in some time, while the promise for in
creased activity is encouraging. The month
Of August is expected to present good ex-
port record. shippers are paying 9114@9275c
? ctl for standard Wheat, while something
OF really choice quality brings 93S4c. The
demand for milling grades is not very press
ing, and these descriptions may be quoted
easy at a range of 81 o11l@1 0614 p ctl
The Barley market is showing little more
tone without any positive increase in the
amount of trade In fact, feed descriptions
are rather slow. Steady demand prevails for
Brewing qualities for shipping purposes, and
all offerings Of moderate proportions find
ready buyers Chevalier is also receiving at
Lention, though stock must be well up TO
standard 10 invite custom.
Offerings OF oats are in excess of demand.
Under such circumstances 1t IS not surprising
hat the market fails to exhibit any strength.
Quotations are conseq uently somewhat nomi-
nal, as dealers would likely shade on the f1S-
ares given IL a good sale could be effected oy
so doing.
The Vegetable market in more han
fully supplied with nearly all varieties. Green
Corn and Tomatoes are very weak. Prices
are steady elsewhere.
Receipts OF Fresh Fruits are very heavy,
and buyers have everything their own way.
sales OF Apricots, and in fact all orchard
fruits are made below quotations.
The Butter market is firm again under a
good demand and Eggs have higher tend
ency. Cheese is unchanged. The demand for
Poultry is light. and prices are steady at quo
tations.
