WHEAT MARKET DULL AND UN-
INTERESTINGa
Spot Barley Unchanged In Price,
but in Fair Demand-Better
Feeling in Corn.
San Francisco, Aug. 2ad.


Wheat is dull and uninteresting; Chi
cago did better to-day, but cable ad-
vices are dull and weak; the local spec
ulative market opened between new and
old milling now. Spot Barley is un-
changed and is in fair demand; options
opened lower. Oats have been dull for
long time and the market. has been
amply supplied; a few changes will be
seen below. There is a rather better
feeling in Corn and prices are higher.
Rye has been much neglected, conSum-
ers being amply supplied.
The Hay market has been quite steady
and the general tendency has been to-
ward better prices; car of Wheat Hay
sold to-day at $1S, as also yesterday;
to-day's receipts were heavy, and in
cluded ten cars from Oregon, four from
Utah and one from Nevada; it was not
all sold. Bran and Middlings have been
very firmly held arrivals have been very
light and the market is well cleaned up.
Dried Fruits continue as firm as ever,
with little prospect for any weakening.
Prunes are not active at present, present as as
bids made New Plums are now quoted.
A car of Lodi Watermelons arrived
to-day and sold within the range auotfd f6
market is easy. The glutted condition
of the market has improved, and with
the exception of Melons St the receipts rec pts, are r
the quotations. Peaches in bulk range
from 500 to s35 per ton for Free and $50
to $50 for Cling. Lemons are not so l frm
as they have been, the supply being
larger. Lines are firmly held, there be-
ing very few here.
The Butter market Is steady at quoted
prices; If there were, any shipping de-
mand the price would advance, as the
supply is moderate Cheese rules firm.
Best Eggs, have reached a figure where ere
Eastern Eggs, which are superior to do
mestic store Eggs; the latter do not
move.
