WHEAT DECLINING AT A VERY
RAPID RATE.
Other Cereals Following Suit-The
Market for Oats Weaker
Barley Easier.
San Francisco. Oct. 22d.

San Francisco Oct. I'D.
just as rapidly as Wheat rose just SO
rapidly is it declining. The Chicago mar
ket mas dropped and the local market 1oi-
lows Spot Wheat is lower, with further
downward tendency The market is all in
iaVor OF the buyer now. Other cerediS
have slumped with Wheat. Barley is
easier; our outside figure for feed is an ex-
treme. The market for Oats is weaker,
put prices are not disturbed. Rye held
up while the boom was on, but that, too,
has weakened. No Corn has been received
Tor several days; the demand Is hght'
prices are unchanged and the market is a
trifle easier
Grapes are not quite such glut as they
nave been, but there are plenty, ana some
houses are still over-stocked. Berries are
weaker; slow sales for the few Blackper-
ries that come in; receipts all through
were heavier Fancy Pears are scarce but
common are plentiful. There are still a
few Peaches left. Hardly any Ounces
here The poor quality of Pomegranates
Offering are not wanted. The Dried Fruit
market has been improving right along
and shows considerable strength. Carload
prices on Aprieots, Peaches' +be drS inbb;ne ane
prices on Apricots and Pears are also
higher.
