COMMERCIAL.
AN ADVANCE IN WHEAT PRICES
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Barley Stronger-Fancy Feed No
Higher, but Lower Grades
Are Moving UP.

San Francisco, Sept. 3d.
Wheat is higher; foreign markets are
stronger. Eastern markets are higher,
and the local markets advanced in SYM
pathy; considerable arrived from Oregon
to-day. Barley is stronger: fancy feed
is no higher, but the lower grades are
moving up; offerings are larger. The oat
market is in good shape; the demand is
good and holders are firm at quoted
prices; moderate receipts. Corn contin-
ues quiet and unchanged; receipts light.
Bran and middlings are, easy; consider
able on hand and the market is not very
active. The hay market is firm and high
er for some kinds: choice wheat hay
would bring Sis; our top price was re-
fused to-day for a lot that was not even
choice; alfalfa hay is not in demand as it
was. Outside hay is selling at range
of $10.50Q14.
The market is in fair shape Trade
could be better, but still receipts are not
excessive and there is not much fruit
dumped. Good fruit brings top prices
readily. Peaches are weak. Berries were
on time to-day, but it is getting late in
Freestone peaches in bulk sold at $25Q
35 and Clings at $50. Repacking of the
last lot of Mexican lines showed about 90
per cent loss.
