FLOUR is FIRM AND FOR EX-
PORT VERY ACTIVE.
Wheat Market Weak and Lower
Barley Easier-Both Options
and Spot Lower.

San Francisco, Sept. 18th.
Flour is firm and for export is active:
the China steamer took out over 81 900
barrels, one of the largest cargoes ever
taken. Chicago wheat dropped still fur
ther and the local market IS also very
weak and lower; trading is quiet; a car
go of over $1,000 centals down from Port
Costa for export. Barley is easier both
options and spot feed are lower; brew
ing continues neglected. Fair call for
oats; market firm; receipts over Il, 900
centals. Corn is quiet; offerings are firm
ly held at quotations: small yellow and
white are scarce.
Fruit receipts were light to-day. Trad
ing was not active, the trade having been
pretty well supplied SATURDAY. Berries
cleaned up well at better prices Can
ners do not want peaches; in bulk they
are lower. Not enough bulk pears COM
ing in to be worth quoting. A few white
Cornichon grapes are in market, but they
find slow sale.
Butter and eggs are firm, and both
have again advanced Roll butter is quite
scarce. Cheese is quite steady.
