San Francisco. Aug. 9Th.


San Francisco, Aug. 5th.
Wheat slumped off to-day at Chicago
and local values also took tumble; spot
wheat is lower for shipping grades; mill
Ing descriptions hold up, being not over
plentiful Barley options dropped and
spot feed is also lower; brewing is not
affected. Oats are steady and quiet Very
little yellow corn in first hands; large
yellow sold to arrive at 81 0712@1 10. Rye
has weakened. in sympathy with wheat.
Apples move very slowly. Apricots
are gradually disappearing; a choice ar
ticle would bring more than our out
side figure. Peaches and pears in bulk
are higher. Nearly 1000 punches of ba-
nanas arrived yesterday, but they are
too green for the market. Plums are
very hard to move.
Butter is quite steady under moder-
ate supply and fair demand. Eggs are
moving off better, with occasional sales
above the quotation.
