WHEAT HIGHER, BOTH FOR
SPECULATIVE AND SPOT.
Barley Steady for Average Offer
ings, and Firm for Bright
Feed-Corn Weak.

San Francisco. Nov. 23d.
Inere was no sample session of the
produce Exchange to-day owing to the
death of John McCord, member
Wheat is higher, both for speculative
ana spot goods: foreign and Eastern
aaVlces were encouraging, and the local
market followed. During the week fur
ther reduction was made in flour of 20
cents per barrel. Barley is steady for the
average offerings and quite firm for bright
Iced; receipts have been small of late
Iradlng IN oats has been of a hand-to-
mouth character, and prices have shown
no marked changes; the tendency seems
TO De downward. Corn is weak; the sup
ply is too large; there was none in to-day,
out there Is plenty here to supply all needs
Inc apple market is Well supplied; the
large quantity OF Wormy stock hurts the
sale OF the choice article; for the holiday
trade there is fair demand for fancy ap-
pies. Berries cut but little figure now;
only feW raSpberrieS arrived to-day.
Ordinary varieties of table grapes move
slowly; a few Isabellas and white Corni-
chon bring fancy. prices Not much call
FOR pears; very few fancy here. Plums
will soon be out of the market; very little
demand for them and very few offering
Oranges are easier; .mandarins are lower.
LINES and demons are dull and prices are
weak. Fair demand for nuts, particularly
for almonds and WalnutS
OF late dealers have differed consider
ably on the butter market and accurate
quotations are not easily obtainable; for
the general run of butter our figures are
good average; with the exception of a
few brands of Humboldt butter the mar
ket is easy, and following the rain the
price Will go still lower; nearby counties
are shipping more freely. The market on
packed butter is well cleaned up. and
prices are largely nominal The supply
of cheese is in excess of the demand but
not enough to affect prices. Fancy eggs
rule firm: fresh Eastern are higher and
are scarce; plenty of storage eggs here,
which sell at the lower quotations.
