WHEAT FUTURES DECLINING AT
SAN FRANCISCO.
An Easier Feeling Prevails in Barley
Oats Firm at Unchanged
Quotations.

San Francisco, Oct. 21st.
me downward course of Wheat is not
cneckeo as yet. Futures declined rapidly,
Oecenper going as low as 81 42%, against
S1 4os as the lowest price reached yester-
9ay. spot prices are largely nominal as
Shippers have drawn out of the market.
An easier feeling prevails in Barley; feed
Is not actually lower, but brewing takes
Wioer range Oats and Corn are firm at
unchanged prices; the former are in very
liberal supply. Of Yellow Corn there is
not much offering; White is showing more
freely, but is not much wanted
Fair demand for all Fruits, excepting
tapie Grapes, which are in oyer-Supply
and dragging; quite a lot have to go at loc
per box. Some are being turned into large
boxes and sold for wine purposes Wine
Grapes are firm; supply continues light
and demand good, excepting for some or
the whites, which are very poor and sell
low. Persimmons have appeared in mar
ket to the extent of about a dozen boxes
from TuStin, Cal. They are too soft and
remained unsold. A few boxes of Bartlett
Pears still remain; they bring 5Oc Tor small
boxes and $1Q1 80 for large:
Butter shows signs of weakening; cream
cries are sustained, but dairy descriptions
have declined; the general opinion is thal
the late advance cannot be sustalned.
Eggs move fairly Well; the supply ana de-
mand about balance and the market Is
quite steady at previous prices.
