and Easy.
San Francisco, Sept. 17th.
Wheal Is nrm at a further advance IN
poth spot and speculative markets; export
business continues active, and at the pres
ent rate the total for the month will as
sumo large proportions. Flour is quite
Arm' out not higher for the present; an
ADVANCE Is not unlikely. Barley is quiet
ana easy Tor ordinary feed, but choice de-
scriptlons are not plentiful and command
5000 prices; Brewing is advanced.
Receipts Of Fruit were lighter to-day,
Dut there is enough for all den ands. APP
pies are the exception the common varie-
ties being in large supply, but strictly
1ancy, both Gravenstein and BellfoWer
Oelng scarce. Wine Grapes are scarce and
table varieties abundant Fancy Bartlett
Pears have advanced. Berries continue in
light supply, with none Of the Longworth
variety coming in. Fresh supplies OF
Bananas and Pineapples here, but the
former are very green. Dried Pears in
carload lots are lower.
Butter is gradually declining and the
market is weak; the high prices stopped
me demand, and stock was accumu!atlng
to an extent especially Creamery. Cheese
is not moving as we'll as 1t did a short time
ago and prices are rather easy. Fancy
1IduOQ Eggs are nTm at the
but other kinds are going slowly; no
changes to report
