COMMERCIAL.
The Improved Condition of the Wheat
Market Well Sustained.
Values Have More Stability. and the
Volume of Transactions Show
Substantial Increase.
SAX FRANCISCO. November 11I

SAN FRANCISCO, November 18th.
The i'm proved conditions which developed
IN the local Wheat market something over a
week ago appear To be we'll sustained. Values
have more stability, and the volume of trans
actions shows a substantial increase. AL
though the market is burdened with excessive
supplies dealers begin to feel encouraged. At
present there are in this harbor some twenty
ships under charter To carry grain. Some are
now loading and Others will begin soon. Adj
vices from abroad show that the market in
England is higher and values are held more
firmly. In the Eastern grain centers better
condition of affairs is also noticeable. Alto
gether the present indications are that prices
are again on the up grade, and that the ad-
Vanced figures will be sustained by an in
creased demand and greater activity.
In the local produce markets the movement
of trade yesterday was rather light, as COM
pared with the preceding day. Nearly all
commodities are in liberal supply, although
the varieties of Fresh Fruits are necessarily
limited. There are 40 good Peaches to be OBJ
tained. the stock now offering being very poor
and almost unstable. Some OF the late va
1ietieS OF Pears make good display, but sales
are slow and prices easy. The demand for
Ounces continues of small proportions and
the quoted rates are not very we'll sustained.
Sales of Pomegranates and PersimmonS are
light and dealers are shading prices to effect
sales Grapes of good quality are in moderate
supply, but the inquiry is not very extensive
and prices are weak.
Vegetables are plentiful and cheap. The
market for Dried traits is about steady, the
receipts still being somewhat in excess OF the
natural requirements OF trade.
Dairy Produce is moving oh well, but prices
are low and weak. Butter is not very active
and prices are easy. Eggs are quiet and
Cheese is held firmly. Poultry sells slowly,
with prices very low.
