TONE OF WHEAT MARKET
WEAK AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Barley Easy and Trading Slow
Light Demand FOR Oats, and
Prices are Weak.
San Francisco. Sent. 22d.

San FRANCISCO, sept I'D.
The general tone of the wheli market
is weak; Chicago opened lower and de-
clined steadily until the close, when the
market braced up; locally there IS very
little doing in spot wheat. and quotations
are lower. Barley is easy, though there
is no actual decline for spot goods; trad
ing is slow. Light demand for oats and
prices are still weak; nearly all the oats
to-day arrived from Oregon. Corn is
easy; none arrived to-day.
Early grapes sold off better today. re-
ceipts from the river were late Muscats
were looked for particularly. Wine
grapes clean up well. Not enough black
| berries arrived TO make a quotation; 9TH
er berries are weak. rigs Are i.nlrly
done for. Watermelons so slower.
The market for fresh butter sttL seems
tophcavy, but prices are sustained New
cheese has advanced fraction. Eggs
are higher; some dealers quote the marx
ct easier; receipts are moderate.
Produce luotatIons.
