SPOT WHEAT FIRM, WITH AN
ADVANCING TENDENCY.
Sharp Decline in Barley Options
The Oat Market Very Dull
Corn Is Firm.

san FRANCISCO, OCT. ftn.
Both Chicago and the local wheat mar
kets opened stronger, but fell back; spot
prices are firmly held and show an adj
vancing tendency. Spot feed barley is
unchanged, though options have declined
sharply; two cargoes are down from Port
Costa for export. The oat market is very
dull; prices have q lower tendency; re-
celpts are large and stocks are more than
ample. Corn is firm; very little coming
in and scarcely any offering; it is doubt
full whether a large order could be filled
at the moment.
Berries still arrive in poor order from
the heat. Fancy apples are firm; some
bring more than our top price. The mar
ket continues heavily stocked with table
grapes. Plums and prunes are quite
scarce. Trading all through the line
is slow.
Butter is easy; some dealers quote con-
siderably below our figures; supplies are
more than ample. Dealers differ material
ly on the egg situation, both as to condi-
ton of the market and as to prices; our
figures are an average; too many Eastern
here; domestic store eggs do not sell.
