WHEAT MARKET PLAYING A
GAME OF SEE-SAw.
Speculative Values Lower Spot
Unchanged, Though Not as
Firm as It Was.

San Francisco, Aug. 7th.
The Wheat market is playing game of
see-saw; to-day's Eastern advices show a
bearish feeling, and local speculative val
ues are also lower; spot remains un-
changed, though not as firm as it was.
Not much call for Barley to-day; feed
continues scarce and reports from the in
terror show that the crop of feed will be
quite fshort; brewing is more plentiful,
though firmly held at the quotations.
Very few Oats in to-day; no changes !;
market quiet. The bulk of the Corn in to-
day is Eastern; Yellow is still very scarce.
Bears rule firm: trading is rather slow :;
receipts to-day were light
Apples move very slowly; choice stock
is weaker. Strawberries did a trifie bet
ter. Grapes, particularly black, are in
larger supply and are lower. Pears are a
trif1e easier to-day. Isabella Grapes are
worth 81 % per crate
Butter is firm at previous prices. Ranch
Eggs are firm: store come in competition
with Eastern goods and are not moving
well.
