IMPROVEMENT IN THE SITUATION
AS TO WHEAT FUTURES.
BARLEY Steady, Some Choice Bright
Feed Bringing nore Than
Quotations.

San Francisco, NOV. lStn.
Wheat is unchanged as to spot values;
FUTURES have improved, following better
Aeenng at Chicago, although cables are
ioWer. The Australian demand is what
supports the local market; the demand for
spot goods is better than it has been A
cargo of 10000 centals down from Port
costa for export. Barley is steady some
choice bright feed brings more than quo
1atlons; options are stronger; cargo OF
$4,000 centals arrived to-day from Port
costa for export Nothing new in Oat
prices; the market is quite active. Corn
is weak and is quoted lower; offerings are
liberal and demand not very brisk
Good Apples bring more than the out
side figure in a small way. Sound, dry
Grapes will also bring more than our
prices but there are not many here; to-
days receipts were light, but quite a lot
held over from yesterday and sold down to
15c per box. The trade has not taken hold
of Oranges to any extent, and as there Is
no demand for shipping the stock moves
slowly; prices are easier and the fruit is
still rather green. Strawberries are COM
ing in muddy and soft; about 80 chests ar
rived to-day; they have to be clean and
sound to bring the outside figure.
The Butter market has stiffened, owing
to non-arrival of steamers and conse-
Quent temporary scarcity especially or
fancy grades. No further change in
Cheese. Fancy ranch Eggs have advanced
g trifie; the market is firm and fairly ac
tive.
Poultry market continues in good condi-
ton and all kinds sell fairly well. Live
Turkeys, Broilers and Young Pigeons are
marked up.
