SPOT WHEAT FiRMER, AND
TRADING IMPROVED.
Barley Market Firm at an Advance
Oat Prices Going Up-Poultry
Market Very Quiet.
San Francisco, Aug. 24th.

Potatoes are steady; stocks on hand are
smaller and the demand is improved. TO-
snatoes, both River and Bay, are doing pet
ter. Corn receipts are lighter, but prices
are no better: considerable in sacks held
over from Saturday. No sale for String
Beans and Green Peas; the quality is poor
and there are too many here. Okra Is in
larger supply and is not wanted, even at
the lower figures. The Lima Beans offer
ing are not ve1y good; they are not fuli
and go for almost any price.
Fresh receipts of fruits are lighter, but
there was considerable held over from Sat
urday. Peaches move better at slightly
better figures. A few Raspberries bring
more than our top quotation. There are
no Nectarines here to speak of and quota
1ions are nominal. Cantaloupes are glut;
they are very hard TO move at any pflce.
Grapes are weaker; ISabellas and TokayS
are lower. ounces are coming forward
more freely. The market is again supplied
with Bananas and PineappeS the last
steamer brought about 5000 punches OF
Bananas and about 200 crates of Pines.
Watermelons are about as bad glut as
Eantaloupes.
Nothing new in the line of Butter; the
market is steady and prices unchanged; re-
ceipts somewhat exceed the demand, eSpe-
cially for ordinary Butter. Store Eggs are
weak, but the better Ranch Eggs seem to
be improving.
The Poultry market is very quiet; a few
coops were held over from Saturday and
fo-days receipts We're very light. Some
dealers predict a better market this week,
but with two cars of Eastern to arrive the
outlook for California stock is not en-
couraging.
