San Francisco. Oct. 9Th.

San Francisco, Oct. 9th.
The Wheat Market is in better shape to-
day; an advance in Eastern markets has
improved matters locally; a cargo down
from Port Costa for export; export busi-
ness was quite active during the past
month, and this month promises to make
a still better showing Barley is quiet for
spot; the speculative market has been
fairly active; yesterday s decline In futures
was recovered to-day. The Oat supply is
liberal, but trading is of small proportions;
the market is weak. Only limited sup
ply of Corn here; the demand, however, is
slack, and there is no danger of any great
scarcity. Rye has been quite firm the
demand is good and the supply rather
limited.
The market is amply supplied with ap-
pies; Wormy stock IS quite conspicuous;
lower; many of the Strawberries are in
cooked condition, owing to the heat. Mel
ons attract but little attention; not many
coming IN and they viii soon be done for.
Good Winter Nelis and Bartlett Pears are
iilm; ether varieties are Worny and sell
d few fancy in crates do well.
Butter is steady for only the best grades;
other kinds are easy; some coming in soft;
ing the week the price.for domestic stock
was advanced. Eggs are easy, and a
further decline is noted.
