COMMERCIAL.
AN ADVANCE NOTED IN WHEAT
FUTURES.
Spot Trading Quiet at Unchanged
Quotations-Barley Steady
Choice Feed Higher.
San Francisco, Oct. 18th.


market followed Chicago and futures ad-
vanced; spot trading was quiet at un-
changed prices; a cargo of $1,000 centals
down from Port Costa to-day for South
Africa. Barley was steady, both on and
off call; choice feed was held higher Oats
continue inactive, except Seed Oats; re-
ceiptS are small; prices, generally, are
weak. Small yellow Corn is firm; no
changes in other kinds; slow demand and
small receipts.
Berries are lower; the trade takes but
few. and were it not for the Gamers the
market would not clean up. The market
on other fruits shows no features worthy
of mention; everything in ample sup
ply.
Butter is piling up and prices are weak,
excepting, of course, for a few specials
the trade is using packed goods that were
bought previously, and in consequence the
fresh article is neglected. There is a wide
range on Eggs at present; the market is
full of poor Eggs that sell at low prices
strictly choice goods are scarce and bring
better prices; as high as SIC IS obtained
for some Ranch Eggs. Some dealers quote
higher than ouside quotation on Eastern.
