FLOUR DROPS IN SYMPATHY WITH
WHEAT.
Tendency of the Wheat Marker
Weak-Barley Fairly Steady
Oats Quiet.
San Francisco. Oct. 26th.

San Francisco, Oct. 26th.
In sympathy with the recent decline IN
Wheat there has been a drop OF QUO per
barrel in Flour. Shipments SATURDAY were
$500 barrels to Australia and l4oo TO HOMO
lulu: the market continues quite active.
The tone of the Wheat market is weak,
and while quotations at the moment are
not lower the tendency is in that direc-
ton There is not much doing in spot
Wheat, but the speculative market con-
tinues quite active. The highest point
reached by December on the morning
calls was 81 319s against 81 80 Saturday,
and the low figure for the same option to-
day was 81 81, against 81 81 Saturday May
opened lower and was weaker all through.
Barley is fairly steady. There is not a
great deal Offering, but still more than
enough for the demand. Options are quiet
ana easy, both December and May being
lower
Oats are rather quiet; market steady at
the previous figures; receipts footed up
over 1900 centalS to-day.
There were receipts OF Corn to-day, the
first in more than a week, and amounted
TO 1900 centals; not much demand and
rather light offerings.
There is very little demand for Rye and
not much showing; for an extra choice lot
II 10 is asked, but this is an extreme;
shipment of $500 centalS to Antwerp on
Saturday.
An easier feeling prevails in fresh But
ter, but there are no quotable changes IN
prices; receipts have been rather liberal
Tor the past few days, and stocks have
begun to accumulate. Packed Butter
shows more strength. Eggs are firm at
previously quoted prices. Cheese is steady,
With light supplies on hand.
