WHEAT LOWER, BOTH FOR
SPOT AND FUTURES.
Barley Steady, but Prices Show No
Characteristic Bright Feed
Scarce-Oats Weak.
San Francisco. Sent. eSth,

San Francisco, Sept. 28th.
Advices from all wheat centers SHOW
decline in values; the Chicago market is
depressed, owing to weaker cables, re-
ports of heavy receipts in the Northwest
and a general heavy feeling; locally both
spot and futures are lower; export trade
has been quite active thus far this month
Barley is steady, but prices show no
changes; the market is dull; choice bright
feed is scarce; other grades are in ample
supply; speculative business in barley has
been very quiet of late. Oats are offer
ing freely, but buyers hold off and the
market is weak; strictly fancy oats are
scarce and will bring top prices.
The fruit trade has been of q dr9 Sging
character during the week. Table grapes
have been particularly slow of sale; few
Cornichon have been Offering Wine
grapes have weakened in the last few
days. Choice Bartlett pears are scarce
and are higher. PruneS are scarce and
are about done for
During the week the butter market has
developed an easier feeling, and while
quotations are not exactly lower. they
are tending that way. Cheese holds up
we'll and prices have improved. An ID
vance is also noted for eggs, particularly
choice goods; the receipts have been
moderate and the market has been in
good shape generally.
