WHEAT HIGHER IN THE SAN
FRANCISCO MARKET.
Feed Barley Scarce and in De-
mand-Better Inquiry for
Choice Oats.
San Francisco, Aug. 18th.

The Chicago Wheat market opened
strong, but subsequently declined; fu-
lures locally were active and higher; spot
mas been further advanced; the local mar
ket is acting somewhat independent of
Chicago at the moment two full cargoes
are down from Port Costa, one being for
Cape Town. Feed Barley is scarce and
wanted; brewing is quiet; options are
slow and a trifle easier; a full cargo and
part cargo down for Europe. Better
inquiry for Oats. particularly choice
goods; prices unchanged; receipts small.
Only Eastern Corn arriving; no changes
in prices. Rye is easier
Strawberries are weak. Raspberries are
less plentiful Blackberries will soon be
done with. Cantaloupes do not clean up,
and are lower. Grapes are plling up. Wa
termelons are scarce and are moving
Mexican Lines are about cleaned up.
