COMMERCIAL.
FLOUR CONTINUES FIRM AND
FAIRLY ACTIVE.
Spot Wheat narket Steady, Though
Futures Show Weaker Feeling
Barley Options Lower.

San Francisco, NOV. l9tn.
Flour continues firm and fairly active;
exports yesterday footed up 1928 barrels,
OF which 1886 were for Central America.
Inc spot Wheat market is steady, although
futures here and at Chicago show wea-
ker feeling; a cargo of Al, $50 centals down
Hom Fort Costa for export. A rather soft
ieenng prevails in Barley, owing to the
rainy weather; options are lower; to-day's
receipts included 27,675 centals from Port
Costa for export The Oat market is quite
steady at unchanged prices; receipts con-
tinue light and demand fair. Corn is weak,
under continued heavy receipts ana not
very brisk demand.
Apples have been firm, but the market
has a slumpy tendency. The arrival of
several cars of Eastern Apples in barrels
has diverted attention, in a degree, from
the native fruit. Berry receipts amounted
to about 65 chests to-day; an average dur
ing the week has been about 90 chests;
prices are lower, as quite lot are muddy;
at this season of the year they are out of
favor. Grapes are moving very slowly;
some dealers quote SOC as the best price
on anything in boxes, while others quote
above our figures; the condition of most
of those in boxes, particularly from noun
tain sections, is very poor The new crop
Oranges that have arrived thus far have
been green, with a few exceptions; better
prices than those quoted could be obtained
for ripe fruit.
have advanced during the week. Stocks
of Butter are running low at present, but
as soon as several delayed steamers ar
rive stocks will be replenished and prices
viii probably drop to the previous figures
The market has been firm on Cheese, with
the shelves scantily supplied and the de-
mand good. Fancy Eggs are scarce; the
market is firm and prices show an ad-
Nancing tendency.
