WHEAT FIRM AND ACTIVE-AN
ADVANCE IN SPOT.
No Change in Barley-Rather Easy
and Quiet-Oat Prices Firm,
But Unchanged.

San Francisco, Sept. 18th.
Wheat is quite firm and active; Spot IS
advanced, and for an extra choice lot Oh
Shipping 81 might be obtained. No changes
in Barley; rather easy and quiet The Oats
offering now are new crop; no more old IN
market; prices remain firm and un-
changed; receipts are liberal. No inquiry
for Corn and the market is well supplied
and weak; white is nominal.
Fruit in general is moving fairly Weu,
but the market as a whole shows no better
feeling. A few of the fancy Fruits may
bring trifie above our top quotations.
but sales are not large. Grapes seem par
ticularly weak; there are lot held over
from day to day, and there are no Signs
OF cleanup tonight.
Fresh Butter is changing hands slowly
! owing to the high prices; no further az
vances to-day, and the feeling is that II
will not go much higher, if at all; how
ever, that lies in the demand. Little doing
in firkins; picked and creamery TUBS
are becoming more active. The Egg mar
ket seems to be in better shape, and II
Oregon and Eastern would hold OH ana
give California stock a chance to clean up
prices would do better. AS 1t Is, receipts
of Eastern are lighter, but not Hgnt
enough. Cold-Storage Ranch are now pc
ing drawn on; there are something hke
$4,000 cases in storage, so that without any
fresh receipts at all the market would De
well supplied for time.
