WHEAT RATHER FIRr1ER IN THE
TONE OF THE MARKET.
Barley Steady = Improved Demand
for Chevalier-Light Trading
in Oats.
San Francisco. Aug. 2Sth.

San Francisco, Aug. 2Sth.
wheat is rather f1rmer in the tone or the
market, though spot prices remain un-
changed; two cargoes, amounting 10 over
l6S,e00 centals, are here from Port Costa
for export. Barley is steady; the demand
Tor Chevalier has improved in the past few
days, but there is not great deal coming
IN as yet. Light trading in Oats and prices
are steady; receipts are light. NO Corn
arrived to-day: the market remains weak
and neglected.
A few Red NectaTines are being received
and bring 75cQs1 per box; no Whites here.
Berries are not in large supply, excepting
possibly Raspberrries; there is market
for a certain amount of Berries, and any
slight excess of receipts seems to drop
prices Immediately. The few Figs here are
not attractive and find slow sale. Peaches
are firmer. the receipts being lighter and
fancy stock being scarce. Packed Pears
hold up, but loose are easier. Receipts Of
fresh Plums are lighter, but there are
lot OF held-over German Prunes here that
90 not move.
Butter receipts are slightly in excess of
the demand and prices do not improve.
There is not q great amount of business
being done. Eggs. generally, are weak;
scarce; some better grades of Store Eggs
will bring cent or two above our top
price.
