WHEAT DULL AT UNCHANGED
QUOTATIONS.
Barley Easy for Feed, While Brewing
is Steady-Oats Firmer, Though
Not Higher.
San Francisco, July 31st.


Wheat Is very dull and easy; quotations
unchanged. Flour continues active at the
old prices; the Oriental trade has fallen off
somewhat. Barley is easy for Feed: for a
choice lot Of Bright Feed 6S34c could be
obtained; Brewing is steady; the shipment
OF nearly $1,000 centalS to the United
Kingdom was one of the largest single
cargoeS that has ever left this port; fu-
lures are easier. Oats are f1rmer, though
not higher. Large Yellow Corn is slightly
advanced; market Is quiet and about
steady.
Fruit still arrives freely and prices are
easy. Apples are weaker, but no lower.
Not many Berries received, but sales were
slow, excepting Raspberries, which moved
fairly well. Sales of Watermelons are
fair; receipts are still from the vicinity Of
Fresno. The early Lodi Melons will prob
ably find some other market unless prices
here improve; a shipment has already
been made elsewhere. Cantaloupes move
fairly we'll Mexican Lines are weaker;
yesterdays steamer brought over $50
cases
The first sale day at the San Francisco
Fruit Exchange was fully up TO expecta-
tions. Sales are to be held Thursday of
each week at 10 a. m. Quite a crowd was
present at the first sale, and considerable
business was transacted. Should the sue
cess continue sessions will be held oftener,
and may result in daily meetings The
members were enthusiastic and outsid-
ers are anxious that the method continue
Several of the latter have expressed the
intention of Joining. Grading Will begin
next week.
