WHEAT MARKET WEAKER AT
SAN FRANCISCO.
No Change in Spot Barley, Though
Options Are Lower-De-
cline in Oat Prices.
San Francisco. Oct. 18th.

The wheat market is weaker. Chicago
fell back to-day and locally futures are
also lower; spot prices are unchanged,
though weak No change in spot barley,
though options are lower. Oats are lower;
the market has been weakening for sew
eral days; the drop does not apply to seed
oats. No changes in corn; trade continues
quiet Rye is dull at present, though
prices rule firm.
Table grapes are in much smaller re-
ceipt, but there are enough held-ovrr
stock here to supply the market for some
days. Wine grapes are nrm at the quo
tatIOns. CantaloupeS and nutmegs are
lower, and sell slowly. A few fancy
peaches bring more than our top price.
Pomegranates and ounces are not plen-
tiful.
Butter is weak: our quotations are full
figures. No further change in cheese
Fancy ranch eggs are scarce and are
bringing better prices: other eggs are
weak.
