WHEAT MARKET VERY WEAK,
AND PRICES LOWER.
An Easier Feeling in Barley, but
Not Enough Doing to
Change Quotations.

San Francisco, Sept. 25th.
The wheat market is very weak, and
both spot and futures are lower; two
cargoes down from Port Costa for ex-
port. There is an easier feeling in barley,
but buyers are scarce and there is not
enough doing to change spot prices; OPP
tions are quiet. There is simply no de-
mand for oats or corn; buyers hold off on
oats, awaiting the outcome of the new
crop; every northern steamer brings down
a large quantity; the rains have discolored
some of the oats, but the quality will
be up TO the average. Small yellow corn
is coming to hand more freely.
Peaches are weak and are lower for
canning purposes; the trade does not pay
the outside figure for packed readily.
Cantaloupes are becoming scarce; good
stock is higher, but poor stuff drags along
at buyers prices. Plums and grapes are
very Gull Cranberries are again lower.
Receipts OF other berries We're heavier,
but they sold off We'll
some dealers quote lower than our fig
ures; prices are being shaded to effect
sales. Cheese Is steady. Eggs are quite
steady for choice goods; sales are re-
ported at an advance over our figures.
