COMMERCIAL.
WHEAT FIRn, WITH AN AD-
VANCE IN PRICES.
The Market for Barley Quite Weak
Offerings Continue Large and
Buyers Scarce.

San Francisco, Sept. 18th.
Wheat is firm and fairly active; both
spot and speculative values are ad-
Vanced; shipping business continues
pIisk' nve vessels having cleared yester-
oay. The market for Barley is quite
weak; offerings continue large and euy-
ers scarce, excepting at their own ns-
ures, which are considerably below the
views or sellers; an extra lot OF 1eed might
orlng 63Ac. In Oats there IS very httle
ooing; in fact, there are very few mere TO
DO anything with; no changes. There Is
absolutely nothing doing in Corn; small
Yellow Is lower.
Fruit in general is moving fairly well.
Apples are In over-supply and very weak;
prices are tending downward. Large
Strawberries are easier; those at the In
side figure are taken up by the Gamers.
There have been none of the small Straw
berries here for few days past. Black
Figs are lower; the supply is larger. Ia
BILE Grapes are abundant, but the white
varieties are still rather green and sour;
Isabellas are coming in freely; there are
some very fancy offering. Watermelons
are now selling better and the supply is
not as large as 1T has been; receipts are
almost entirely from Lodi Mexican II,
good condition. At the moment the mar
ket Is bare of Pineapples and Bananas;
fresh receipts will be here Tomorrow.
Butter has declined; the market has
tended that way for the past couple of
days. Cheese is moving fairly well. but It
is coming in more freely and the market
Is a trifie easier. There seems to be some
difference of opinion among dealers as to
the Egg situation, but summed up it
seems to be fairly steady at the quota
i rush OF Eastern and Oregon stock on the
market, and indications are that Eggs
will drop shortly.
