COMMERCIAL.
THE WHEAT MARKET VERY FIRM
AND ACTIVE.
A Jump in Prices Both for Spot and
FutureS-Materia Advance in
Feed Barley.

San Francisco, Sept. 30th.
No further change has been made IN
flour, though at the rate that wheat is
advancing rise in Flour is not unlikely.
The Wheat market Is very firm and active
ana prices have taken quite jump Ior
Doth spot and futures. Milling Wheat Is
not oHering to any extent, and holders
ASK Top prices. Barley Is also very nrIh
xor all kinds and feed descriptions have
advanced materially. Oats are following
the lead Of other grains and prices also
snow a change for the better In a few
grades; the market is very firm A strong
er feeling in Corn and Small Yellow has
advanced. Rye is quite firm and better
prices are quoted.
The Fruit market continues in the slow.
dragging condition previously noted.
There seems to be no life in the market,
and instead of better prices the tendency
I'd the reverse. Wine Grapes are coming
an quite freely and find rather slow sale.
Apples and Grapes are more largely in evil
0ence than other fruits.
Another day without a change in either
Butter, Cheese or Eggs. The Butter mar
ket is quite steady, but the feeling in
Eggs appear to be easier and dealers are
willing to shade cent move
their stock. Cold Storage Eggs are being
drawn on right along, and were it not for
contracts for future delivery having to be
1llSd there would be very few stored Eggs
mere IN months time.
