No Immediate Prospects for improve
ment in Wheat Prices.
Feed Descriptions Of Barley Not in
Pressing Demand-Trade of
Small Magnitude.
sAN FRANcIsco. sept 11th.

Wheat prices continue soft, with prospects
not favorable for immediate improvement.
Trade is of moderate volume for shipping
purposes, and it is not likely to enlarge much
in proportions until there should be a marked
change for the better at foreign centers
Feed descriptions of Barley are not in press
ing demand, and trade is therefore OF small
magnitude. Choice quality is not particularly
plentiful, and is somewhat firmly held. Com
mon stock is in free Offering and easy in price.
For Brewing Barley there is yet good demand
for shipment, and all offerings of standard
Chevalier are promptly taken for a like pur-
pose.
The demand for Oats is slow, and the situa-
ton is against sellers. Prices have been
marked down. time and again, until pretty
low basis OF values has been reached. Still ii
is difficult matter to secure buyers, especi-
ally for anything like round parcels. Trade
is mostly of jobbing character, and very
slim at that.
some OF the new Hops have come to hand,
but no sales are reported. Dealers are OF the
opinion that the market viii open at about
6@Sc = 10 as to quality. Hops OF 1893 crop
are nominal at 4@0c 2 % tor good to choice.
Inc Prices Current says: "New crop OF Cali
fornia Hops is beginning to arrive, and is
showing IN the main unusually fine quality.
The yield is not only large, but promises TO
average as Well as any crop ever grown in
this section. If all the Hops are picked this
gate about $4,000 bales. But, owing to the
low prices, ii is possible that some vines Will
be lett unpicked. While there is no improve
ment TO note in values, there VIII likely be
some activity as soon as spot supplies as
sumo wholesale proportions" More recent
adNiceS from the North report damage from
vermin. A leading grower OF Washington
talks OF the Hop situation as follows: I'VE
estimate that there Will hardly be three-nfthS
of the crop harvested, and more than half
that harvested will be of inferior grade. By a
careful examination of over 100 yards. we
believe that there will not be 12, ,0OO bales Of
choice Hops produced in this State this year."
There was large supply OF Vegetables on
hand this morning. Receipts of Tomatoes
were particu arly heavy. The Gamers have
