COMMERCIAL.
SPECULATIVE WHEAT MARKET
IN FEvERIsH STATE.
Business in Futures Quite Active
Barley Quiet at Unchanged
Quotations.
San Francisco. Oct 4th.

Spot Wheat is unchanged. The Chicago
market declined sharply, and for a time it
seemed as though the bottom would drop
out but the bull element finally worked
the market up above the opening figures.
The local speculative market was in
feverish state; business in futures was
quite active; cargo of over $4,000 centals
down from Port Costa for export. Barley
is quiet at the old prices; options are still
lower No demand for oats; market weak
at the quotations, Very little Corn offer
ing and not much wanted.
Not many Berries arrived to-day and
prices were higher; no Blaekberries in.
Grapes, both wine and table, are dull and
lower Not enough Peaches coming In
bulk to be worth quoting. Pears, other
than Bartletts, are worny- Watermelons
are lower Mexican Lines are in over
supply and are lower.
Butter is easy; some houses are selling
under our quotations. Cheese is we'll SuS-
tanned; new is advanced, with prospect
good for further rise; ESgs have de-
clined: the market has been leaning that
way for several days past
