San Francisco, Nov. 20th.
Chlcago market has declined and the
iocai market is easier, both for speculative
ana spot goods. Futures are very active.
"Aports yesterday included 1o2,i26 centals
10 BOMBAY, shipped by j. Eppinger & Co.,
pelng the first cargo of that nature ever
sent to that destination from here. There
were also 22,624 centals taken for London.
receipts were light; none arrived for ex-
port Very little Barley offering and
nothing wanted; the market Is in sympa-
thy with the weather-rather soft. OPP
tions are lower still. Two cargoes of
brewing Barley were cleared yesterday,
footing UP 110,462 centals. Oats are not
very active; prices are quite steady; re-
celpts are not heavy.
Trade is quiet and whatever changes
are made are in the direction OF lower
prices. Receipts of Berries are out of all
proportion tothe demand; there is hardly
q quotable price, as the fruit is not
wanted; figures quoted would not seem to
oefray expenses of picking and shipping,
let alone being profitable. Grape receipts
are not heavy, but there is no demand and
prices show no changes; the only variety
that shows signs of life is FerdeI, and
that only in a limited way; good Muscats
are scarce. Eastern Apples arrive freely,
and are again lower. Oranges are stead
lily declining under increasing receipts
and only fair demand; too many small
ones coming in. Dried Fruits are steady
Butter shows signs of weakening, and
some dealers quote 25c as the top of the
market on fresh. Cheese is firm at the
previous prices. Egg market is firm;
fancy ranch and good Eastern find good
sale; no higher figures quotable.
