San Francisco. Aug. 17th.

San Francisco, Aug. 18th.
Wheat market is rather soft, but prices
are not quotably lower; buyers hold off;
light receipts. The top price for choice feed
Barley seems little too steep for buyers
and with the exception of few nibbleS
there is nothing doing; plenty arriving and
offerings are liberal Oats are very quiet;
prices have not changed for some time
receipts light No Corn arrived, but the
market will not suffer, as there is plenty
on hand dealers can hardly get a bid on
their goods.
Hay receipts continue entirely too heavy
for the needs of the market and prices
are accordingly weak, but no lower. Bran
and middlings are somewhat frmer,
though not quotably higher; receipts are
moderate
There is small movement in Beans on
local jobbing account, but otherwise there
Is nothing doing; prices are largely nom
inaL
There was considerable fruit held over
from Saturday and the fresh receipts were
orchard fruit of all kinds, particularly
Pears. Peaches and Plums. but the reports
of wholesale dumping of sound fruit are
are consigned to the Bay, but that is the
extent Of it. Berries were in light re
ceipt to-day and moved well. 4 few
boxes of Ounces are offering at 40Qo0c
per box. Three cars of Watermelons ar
rived yesterday and sales are slow
Lemons are weak and dragging at lower
figures.
Supplies of all kinds of vegetables are
liberal Potatoes are easy, the demand
fair for choice stock, and receipts quite
heavy. No further decline in Butter, but
the market is easy, except for fancy dairy,
which is firm. More Eggs than the market
can stand. and too many poor 0r,,t ones at at
q carload Of Eastern put on the market TO-
day.
