WHEAT r1ARKET WEAK AT SAN
FRANCISCO.
Barley in Good Demand, and Rather
Firm for Choice Grades, Both
Feed and Brewing.

San Francisco, Sept. 21st.
Inc CHcago Wheat market is active and
stronger, put from other centers advices
are not encouraging; the local speculative
market is weak, but spot quotations are
STEADY. Barley is in good demand and
iather hrm for choice grades, both feed
ana brewing. No noticeable improvement
~ the demand for Oats; offerings are not
large; previous prices are firm. Little in
4uiry Tor Yellow Corn and plenty Offering;
"hiee is rather scarce and firm. Rye has
improved in price and is firm at the ad-
vance
rresh Fruit receipts were light except
ing on Apples, which arrive freely. Very
lew berries arrived, and the large straw
perrles We're advanced in price. The mar
. ket is scantily supplied with Grapes, ex-
cepting Isabellas of which there are
enough here; they are too high for the
general trade; other kinds are advanced.
Figs are very dull and of poor quality.
Cantaloupes are in light supply and ad-
vanced
Butter is very weak and the market will
probably continue in a more or less de-
Horalized condition until prices get down
TO the views of buyers. Cheese rules fairly
steady, stocks, while not excessive, are
ample for the demand, and no advance is
looked for at present. Eggs are very stiff
and prices are tending upward.
