SAN FRANCISCO, October goth.
The Wheat market shows but little change
from day to day, offerings being moderate
and sales small.
There is almost nothing doing in Bags at the
present time, and some of the local dealers are
shading the quoted rates on small lots. MS
may appear to be somewhat peculiar Wnen
prices are so extremely low, but II Is neVerlne-
less fact. OF course it may be said that the
demand for this season is over, but prices
have ruled very low since the season opened,
over fonr months ago. Notwithstanding the
fact that Grain Bags manufactured with palu
labor are being offered freely at / cents, ana
even q fraction less, there can be no Bags
bought from the enormous supply on hano al
San Quentin, where they are made Win Tree
labor for less than .O4T0. Among the wheat
growers of the State this condition of affairs
appears rather strange. There is moderate
INQUIRY in the local market for Bean and Po-
tato Sacks, and prices are held quite steady.
There is scarcely any change in the market
for Dried Fruits, Prices remain about the
same and holders are firm, but orders gener-
ally are tor small lots. Some dealers report
an increased demand on choice stock, but the
volume OF trade at this period OF the year
should be larger. The outlook is considered
good, however.
In the local Produce market the movement
OF trade yesterday was OF fair proportions, ant
fluctuations were light. The Panama steamer
brought q liberal supply OF Lines, and prices
consequently made q sharp decline Other
varieties of tropical Fruit sell fairly we'll at
the quoted rates. Grapes are arriving IN large
quantities, and considerable OF the receipts
come to hand in poor condition. This, OF
course, is productive of low prices, and only
strictly choice table varieties are hrmly held-
Ounces are abundant but slow TO sell. Water
melons and GQntAi0nnpG NEGLECTED..
pies are plentiful and reasonable in price.
Dairy Produce is meeting with fair IN
quiry, and the quoted rates on creamery But
Ter and ranch Eggs are held steady.
