WHEAT FUTURES LOWER AT
SAN FRANCISCO.
Barley Firm at Unchanged Price
Oats Also Firm and in
Fair Demand.

San Francisco, Aug sd.
The expected advance in flour did not
occur, owing to a drop in wheat. Spot
wheat is not quotably lower; offerings
are limited. A break at Chicago has
weakened the local market and caused a
drop in futures; the break is only tenn
porary, as with the outside demand for
wheat the market must go up; cargo
down for Europe. Barley is firm at un-
changed prices options are not very ac-
tive, though firm. Oats are firm and in
| fair demand receipts are small. All
the corn in to-day was from the East; no
small yellow here; market quiet.
The first ounces of the season arrived
to-day; not enough sold to make a quo
tation. Cantaloupes are a glut on the
market Good peaches are scarce; com
mon stock is plentiful. Ripe Bartlett
pears seem to be pretty Well cleaned up,
and the No. l goods should bring better
prices. A few Strawberries sold at So per
] chest. Very few raspberries in to-day
ard some sold at 40e per drawer.
There is an easier feeling in butter and
further decline is noted. Cheese re-
mains steady. Eggs are unchanged; mar
ket steady.
