SAN FRANCISCO. october

SAN FRANCISCO, october 18th.
The Wheat market remains steady, WIN
transactions generally small. There mas oeeh
8 steady decline in the price OF Corn for some
days past, and at present thu receipts OF new
crop stock are so much larger than traue re-
Quirements that even the low rates quoted
are not well sustained. Buyers are making
their purchases very sparingly, ana Inc ma
iority of sales are in small lots. While the
buying element is apparently holulhg pacA III
expectation of a further decline in prices, the
prevailing opinion among dealers Is that val
ues have already touched bedrock, or very
nearly So The decline has been rapid, and IL
is considered likely that growers Will be SLOW
about forwarding shipments under present
conditions. Large Yellow Corn Is In light
demand and sales are slow. Small yellow Is
in excessive supply. and offerings are being
made at shaded figures. White Corn is oull
and millers appear 10 want but little at pres
ent. The quoted rates are not very steady,
and il is doubtful ii an active export inquiry
will be inaugurated until lower prices rule;
There is usually good demand from Central
America, but low prices constitute leading
factor in orders from that country.
in the local Produce markets yesterday S
trade was fairly active, and prices were put
little different from the preceding day. sup
plies OF Fresh Fruits continue rather large,
and there Is considerable stock OF medium
grade being offered at low and variable rates.
Table Grapes are abundant and dull VINE
Grapes are in more liberal supply, and lower
prices rule. Mexican Lines are held firmly
for full figures Apples are very plentiful,
and sales are light. Ounces continue dull.
Vegetables are selling well at steady HsureS.
Sweet Potatoes were shade lower yesterday.
Dried Fruits continue quiet, but holders
maintain their asking figures with some hrm-
ness. Dairy Products are meeting with a good
demand, and values are steady.
