WHEAT QUIET, BUT SPOT PRICES
FAIRLY STEADY.
No Barley Changing Hands and Re-
Ceipts Large-No Trading to
Speak of in Oats.
San FRANCISCO. Aug. 7th.

San Francisco, Aug. 7th.
Flour continues active at unchanged
prices; a shipment of nearly 10000 barrels
was made yesterday to Australia. Wheat
is very quiet, but spot prices are fairly
steady; extra choice lot of shipping
would bring 96Ac. No Barley changing
hands and receipts are large; prices are
easy. No trading to speak of in Oats to-
day; prices are firm and unchanged.
Some of the fruit arrived late again to-
day. Wrapped Peaches are in over-sup-
ply at present; unwrapped are in large
supply and weak. An abundance OF COM
mon Apples here but choice are scarce.
Black Figs continue of rather poor quail
ity; the demand is slow for both black and
white. Mexican Lines are fairly steady;
stocks are moderate and more are ex-
pected on the 18th inst. Lemons are weak
and in large supply. Some fine Black
Grapes for shipping brought 81 per crate.
Huckleberries have appeared in market.
The condition of the Butter market will
allow of no change in quotations; Cream
cries appear to be easier, II anything,
While Dairy Rolls remain firm Packed
descriptions are easier. A wide range IS
noted in Eggs; some poor store iotS, ana
there are plenty of them here, go as low
as 10c and 11c The general feeling in Eggs
is steady. There are very few DUCK Eggs
here.
