WHEAT QUIET, BOTH FOR SPOT
AND SPECULATIVE. =
Barley Still Easy, and Prices Are
Tending Lower-Oats
Are Dull.
San Francisco, Aug. 10th

Flour continues active, especially the
China trade; the last steamer for the ORR
ent took nearly 1900 barrels. Wheat is
weak; both spot and speculative business
Is quiet; three vessels down from Port
Costa with nearly 154, 900 centals. the ma
Jority being for Europe and part for Aus
traiia. Barley is still easy, and prices
are tending lower; buyers seem to have
the advantage and very little business is
done unless their figures are met; large
cargo of Brewing is down from Port Costa
for export. Oats are dull; rather liberal
receipts and light demand; no changes.
Quite a lot of Corn arrived to-day; the
market is fiat and prices are easy.
Considerable Fruit was held over from
Saturday, and was in more or less spoiled
condition To-day's receipts were light.
With the exception of Berries there was
very little movement in anything and buy
ers had things pretty much their own way.
While Butter is not actually lower, the
market is rather easy, excepting Fancy
Rolls. and a decline is not improbable;
Eggs are becoming more plentiful and
there is an easier feeling noticeable, al
though prices are not quotably lower.
