WHEAT PRICES LOWER AT SAN
FRANCISCO.
Not Much Demand for Barley-The
Market Has an Easier
Tone.

San Francisco, Oct oath.
The Chicago market dropped to-day and
locally both spot and futures were lower;
some extra choice for shipping might
bring 81 321a but buyers are not numer-
Gus. Speculative business is quite active
at the decline. December is rather neg
Iected, nearly all of the business being in
the May option. December opened 4l2c be-
low yesterdays opening figures, but
showed more strength later.
Not much demand for Barley; the mar
ket has an easier tone and top prices are
not readily paid; brewing is rather slump
ish; the local brewers are fully supplied
and shippers will not pay over S712c; fu-
lures are quiet, and what little there Is
dong shows weakening.
In oats there is not much doing; there is
some inquiry for oats not in the market,
but those offering are not wanted except at
shaded prices, and this dealers refuse
TO do.
Rye is quiet and easy at unchanged
prices; not a great deal offering.
