San Francisco, Sept. 18th.
The rapid advances in Wheat have
strengthened the Flour market and a
further advance Of 15c per barrel has peeh
Lnade, 10 take effect to-day; this makes an
advance of 3Oc per barrel within week.
wheat continues firm and active, with
slight advance for shipping; the local spec
ulatlve market is active. and both May anu
December opened higher to-day Inc
days Wheat receipts include 112,234 CEN
tails from Port Costa for export to Great
Britain. There is good demand Tor poth
iced and brewing Barley and the market
Is strong at an advance for both descrlp-
lions. Oats are firm, and thouSh prices
are not higher there is a stronger tone 10
the market; receipts are entirely too Isht
and it is more difficult to get the oats
than it is to sell them. In Corn there Is
also a better feeling; there is more inquiry
and while prices are not hlSner, they arc
not as weak as a few days ago.
The fruit market Is slow, dragging ana
dull. All kinds are in lloeral supply, ,na anu
added to each days fresh receipts there
is a lot of carried-over stock, which gives
the market a glutted appearance. Inc
already heavy stocks of apples are beng
added to by large receipts daily; fall Pip
pins are making their appearance IN mar
ket, choice lot having been received 10 10
day. A few fancy Bartlett Pears IN large
boxes bring as high as 81; The Dried
Prune market is strong and higher for job
bing lots; those from the central aho .Ha
northern counties, and bring the OUTSIDE
hgure.
