COMMERCIAL.
FIRMER TONE TO THE WHEAT
MARKET.
Bright Feed Barley Higher, But
Other Descriptions Dull
and Unchanged.

San Francisco. Oct. 27th
There is a firmer tone to the wheat mar
ket; Notwithstanding a higher Chicago
market, shippers locally refuse to advance
their prices. The advance at Chicago is
not borne out by the low condition Of
cables Millers are not in the market to
any extent. Bright feed barley is higher
but other descriptions are dull and un-
changed; options advanced sharply Corn
is coming in more freely and the market is
dull.
Berries are lower; a few Longworths
brought $S0l0 per chest. Liberal arrivals
they are mostly in patent filler cases
ass bring up to soc per box, and 50-i0s
sold well, but other sizes do not move.
Wine grapes are coming in too freely and
are lower. An occasional car OF oranges
come to hand, but the fruit is not choice
and is hardly worth quoting; q car Of
sweets and navelS arrived yesterday from
Southern California
Butter continues steady of fancy grades
there is about enough for the demand.
mand and prices are weak, though no low
er. Choice eggs are steadily advancing.
