WHEAT IS EASIER, BOTH ON AND
OFF CALL.
No Barley Changing Hands to Speak
Of-Receipts Free, But Buy
ers Hold Off.
Sam Francisco. Aug. Isl

San Francisco, Aug. 1st.
Wheat is easier, both on and off call, and
spot values and futures are lower and
quiet. No Barley changing hands to speak
of; it is coming in freely. but buyers hold
off. No changes in Oats; prices are firm
and trading is of fair proportions.
In the present glutted condition of the
market the prices quoted may OCCASION
ally be a trihe higher than the best price
obtainable; often it is a case of a dealer
accepting the buyers figure or holding the
fruit over and eventually dumping 1t.
Even should receipts become lighter they
would still exceed the demand. Berries
moved little better, but at the old fig
ures. excepting Raspberries, which show
an improvement The market is very
heavily stocked with Pears, and what is
TO be done with them is mystery. Can
4aloupes are arriving more freely and are
lower; there were over 100 crates on to-
days market.
Butter market is dull; quite lot from
northern counties arrived and the demand
is rather slow; prices, though, remain as
previously quoted. Cheese rules hrm, with
Light stocks; indications are for further
zlse. The rapidly advancing prices have
checked the demand for Eggs; there are
quite lot of Eastern and oregon Eggs
here, and then cold-storage stock is being
drawn on. Eastern are bringing 15Q16c,
oregon, 13Q14c and cold-storage ranch
that were stored along in May bring
47Q1Sc.
