San Francisco, August 18th.
Wheat is very dull; milling descriptions
are lower; old crop is pretty we'll cleaned
1p and buyers are turning to new Barley
continues easy, although choice lot or
bright feed would bring 6712c; brewing is
weak, and our outside quotation is full
figure. Oats are dull at previous figures;
offerings are liberal, but buyers hold off.
Corn is weak and inactive; prices are tend
ing downward; heavy receipts to-day.
Fancy Apples are still very scarce; hardly
sny here; they would readily bring the top
price Berry receipts were not heavy, but
there are enough; the market was little
stronger, though prices We're not mater
aally changed. Black Figs take a very
wide range, as will be seen below, accord
ing to the size of the box, which varies
greatly. The Gamers are buying very little
IN this market at present, except possibly
Pears. Lemons are weak and lower
Watermelons move slowly; four cars ar
Sived yesterday; but one car from Lodi has
been received in this market as yet, prices
being too low.
Butter continues easy with downward
tendency in prices; although no quotabie
change has occurred the market favors the
buyer, and some shading of prices is being
done to effect sales. Cheese rules quite
firm at a fractional advance. A softer feel
Ang prevails in Eggs and lower prices are
noted; stocks are accommodating and tnere
are quite a lot OF Eastern on the way; the
Eastern goods are preferred to some OF
the native stock offered at present.
