SPOT WHEAT VERY WEAK AT A
DECLINE.
An Easier Feeling in Barley-Oats
Firmer and More Active-Con-
dition of the Fruit Market.
San Francisco, Aug. 9th.

San Francisco, Aug. 9Th
Spot Wheat is very weak at decline;
nothing doing; Chicago declined sharply
to-day. An easy feeling in Barley; some
extra choice bright feed is held for 6S4c,
put buyers are scarce. Oats are frmer and
more active. Corn is dull and fiat, and
prospects are not bright for any improve
ment.
Two of the river boats were late to-day
and considerable fruit dragged along until
late in the day.
Strawberries are weaker, being in larger
supply; for a few days past the small va
riety was in lighter supply. Black Figs
are not plentiful; the few here are rather
poor; White Figs are becoming more plen-
tlful. White Nectarines are doing a little
better; Reds are in light supply Canta-
ioupes are arriving freely and are lower.
Six cars of Watermelons arrived yester-
DAY, being more than the consumption,
and prices dropped; there are more sold
at the inside figure than at the outside.
New Dried Peaches are now on the list
While Butter is not as firm as it has been
still the market is in fair shape and prices
are fairly well sustained. More attention
is being paid to packed goods, the prices
of the fresh article being little too steep
for the ordinary trade. Cheese continues
quite firm at previous quotations; stocks
are moderate; receipts are not heavy ana
the demand is good Eggs rule rather
and ranch are extremes. The present high
prices are attracting Eastern shippers, and
several cars are reported on the way here
now.
