San Francisco, Nov. I'd.
The speculative Wheat market shows
more strength; buyers are still out OF the
market and spot quotations are based al
most entirely on speculative values Prac-
tlcaiiy nothing doing in December Wheat,
an attention being given to the May op-
tion; futures were considerably advanced
TINS morning over Saturdays best prices
and business was quite brisk.
Feed Barley remains steady and not Of
1ering freely; for brewing shippers will
not pay over the top quotations; If local
brewers We're not so well supplied they
would pay 90c and 9213c. Not<much doing
IL Oats and Corn and prices unchanged;
Oats are quite steady and Corn rather
easy, especially Large Yellow.
Strawberries were light, but they were
muddy and soft and had to sell at low fg-
ures: only a few chests of Raspberries ar
rived. Grapes continue to pile in; to-day
over 5000 boxes were received, and quite
lot were held over from Saturday; the
market is weak, nobody seeming to want
them, even the better stock; a lot OF wet
and cracked Grapes have to sell at almost
any figure
As anticipated, Butter has declined; the
market has been wavering Tor seVerai
days past, and the high prices could NOT
be sustained; the market is quite weak.
Cheese is steady and unchanged IN price.
Eggs are firm; store are nominal at the
quotations.
