A HEALTHY TONE TO THE
WHEAT MARKET.
Strong Feeling in Barley-Feed Quite
Firm and Fairly Active-Oats
Moving More Rapidly.

San Francisco, Sept. 22d.
inere Is a healthy tone to the Wheat
market; spot Wheat is higher and futures
are active and advanced; export business
continues active; for an extra choice lot
OF snlpp1ng Wheat 81 03% could be obtained.
A strong feeling prevails in Barley; Feed
Is quite firm and fairly active local brew
ers occasionally pay over the top quotation
Ior a choice lot Of Brewing. Oats appear
10 De moving more freely, but at no better
prices; none arrived to-day.
Apples are dragging; too many common
here Fancy Bartlett Pears are not plenti-
1ul. Grapes are quite firm, being in light
supply, but prices are not quotably higher;
an occasional box brings more than quo
tations very few Wine Grapes arriving.
The better quality Of Plums and Prunes
are scarce. Large Strawberries are weak
er; receipts were heavier and demand
slow.
Butter is declining at the rate of a cent
day, and is weak at the quotations;
Pickled is coming more into use. All de-
scriptionS of Eggs are firm and some are
advanced; there is little or no difference in
the quality of best Store and second-grade
ranch Eggs, and both bring about the same
price Old Cheese is quiet and New IS
steady.
