San Francisco, Aug. 9Th.
Yesterdays decline in wheat was fol-
lowed to-day by sharp advance, follow
ing a similar course at Chicago Spot is
also higher for shipping grades, but un-
good for milling. Flour is unchanged
though firm and quite active. The China
steamer took nearly 1900 barrels yester-
day. Bran shows an easier feeling, but
middlings are firm. Hay is coming in
freely but the demand keeps up and the
market is firm.
Vegetable quotations were pretty much
unchanged to-day. All kinds are in ample
supply. Potatoes and Onions continue
firm. Pickles and Pickle Onions do not
arrive in quantities as yet
Peaches and Grapes are weaker. Only
choice Cantaloupes bring the outside fig
ure. Currants bring about 81 per chest
some large Strawberries arrived soft and
sold below the inside quotation. White
Figs are not wanted. Blacks are scarcer
Butter and Eggs are tirmer, and prices
snow some Improvement. AT the moment
Butter is somewhat short, particularly
