THE WHEAT MARKET WEAK AND
VERY QUIET.
Barley Steady, But Not Very Active
Oats Firm at the Recent
Advance.

San Francisco, Sept. 1st.
eastern and foreign markets are weak
er' and the local Wheat market is weak
ana very quiet: a cargo down from Port
costa for export. Barley is quite steady,
out not very active; shippers are not pay
ing over 75c for Brewing. Oats are firm
at the recent advance; to-day's RECEIPTS
were light; most of the Oats coming have
peen bought to arrive.
Zinfandel Wine Grapes are worth s1S@
~ per ton. The demand is slow as yet.
Ihe Victoria steamer took Apples and
grapes principally. CantaloupeS are in
. hghte receipt, but no better prices were
obtainable, as consumers have had suffi-
! clent. Fancy Gravenstein Apples are
wanted and would bring 81 25 were there
any here. The Grapes offering are poor
and unattractive a rule; good black
crate Grapes for shipping do we'll. There
was better representation of Berries to-
Gay; Raspberries are lower; few small
strawberries arrived; the large variety
were soft and out of condition, and only
the best brought the outside quotation:
WatermelOnS move better, owing to good
weather, but receipts are too heavy to al
low OF better prices; six cars in yesterday.
