AN ADVANCE IN WHEAT AT SAN
FRANCISCO.
Barley Fairly Steady as Quoted,
Though Not a Great Deal is
Changing Hands.
San Francisco, Nov. 18th.

tne local market a lift; the speculative
market is very active and prices nave gone
beyond any point since the boom pegah
and the end is evidently not yet. spot
values advanced accordingly, ana buyers
are now more numerous; offerings nave
also increased. Under the circumstances
further advance in Flour is not uh-
likely Barley is fairly steady as quoted
though there is not great deal changing
hands. Oats and Corn are rather duli,
though prices rule firm; receipts OF both
are light Firm. though quiet, feeling in
Rye
During the week the first new crop Or
anges were received from Porterville;
Navels brought 81 per box and Seedlings
81; more are expected tomorrow, as they
were shipped yesterday. Berry receipts
amounted 10 about So chests to-day and
prices dropped: some Strawberries sold be-
low the inside figure. Table Grapes are
weaker to-day; receipts were about 200
boxes; good Muscats are scarce. No de-
mand for the few Wine Grapes being re-
ceiyed Apples are moving well and the
market is firm; the majority of the Apples
coming in are wormy. Slow sale for the
Persimmons Offering. The few Pome-
granates here are no good and drag along
at any price; choice would bring good
prices.
Butter has been easy during the week
and prices have been practically un-
changed; stocks have not been large. but
there is scarcely any business. Cheese is
firm at quoted prices; the shelves are only
moderately filled and the demand is good
Eggs have been firmly held at about quo
tations: business does not seem to be very
brisk, excepting for good ranch and East
ern; common grades are dull.
