OF FLOUR.
No Abatement in the Wheat Craze
The rlarket Wild and Feverish
Feed Barley Firm.
San Francisco, Oct. 10th.

WV OoI ICY III INC
San Francisco, Oct. 10th.
An advance in Flour was anticipated, but
the rise mas been greater than expected, IL
DelnS an advance of soc per barrel ana the
END is, apparently, not yet. The market is
very hrm and active. Between the emma
and Panama steamers on Saturday there
were nearly %, 600 barrels taken out, the
emma steamer, of course, taking the larger
quantity.
There is no abatement in the Wheat
craze The market is wild and feverlsh,
ana a quotation for spot Wheat is dl1hcult
10 make. Quotations are nominal; snip
pers refuse to pay over 81 4l12, and there
Is very little offering. Something above
quotations is paid for a small lot OF
chicken Wheat, but this is not standard
quotation. Receipts to-day included 49,
$40 centals from Port Costa for export.
Barley shows no changes. Feed descrip-
tions are quite firm, but brewing does not
appear quite strong; receipts included
Il ,2SS centals from Port Costa for shipping
Oats are very scarce and firm and prices
show a further Improvement There are
so few White Oats here that one quotation
will cover ALL No Surprise and no Gray
Oats here at ALL receipts continue very
light:
Rye has been, and still is, a scarce article
and prices are advanced
To-day was sort of blue Monday in the
Fruit market. No inquiry for anything
in particular and the supply of all fruits
ample. AS was the case last year. the
supply of table Grapes this season is
greatly in excess of the requirements. The
cause seems to be in over-production. II
growers would cease shipping to this mar
ket for a few days and give the market a
chance to clean up they would reap the
benefit, for as the situation now stands
there is little or no profit in this fruit when
freight, carriage and other expenses are
considered. Wine Grapes rule rather firm
Good Apples do well, but the common and
wormy stock drags.
