WHEAT MARKET TAKES
TURN FOR THE BETTER.
Barley Shows an Improvement
Both on and Off Call-No
Changes in Oats.
San Francisco. Sept. 18th.

| San Francisco, Sept. 18th.
| The wheat market took a turn for the
| better to-day; advices from Chicago are
| that the market is stronger and the shorts
are covering; Chicago closed higher; car
| goes are reported steady; cables are high
er; no wheat arrived to-day. Barley is
| doing better, both on and off call; very
| small receipts to-day; offerings are light
and the demand for feed is better No
| changes in oats; the market is still slow
and buyers are taking only as their needs
demand plenty here. Nothing of interest
| to report in corn; all of to-day's receipts
We're of Eastern; there is not much de-
mand and prices are unchanged
The hay market has been in a soft con-
dition during the week; the receipts have
been heavy and buyers have held back
for lower prices; in this they were part-
ally successful but rather than sacrifice
the dealers have been storing consider
able, and the warehouses are at present
quite full. Bran and middlings have ruled
steady at unchanged prices.
Strawberries are still weak, but other
berries hold up. Watermelons are play
ing out; those here are firmly held. Cam
taloupes and nutmegs are not so plenti-
full and prices have an upward tendency.
Very few nectarines here. Very little
fruit in bulk coming and quotations will
soon be dropped. Lemons and lines rule
firm, and oranges are quite dull.
The dried fruit market is in good shape
and the tendency of prices is upward;
all kinds are firmly held; prices for new
raisins have been esta blished.
The egg market has suddenly taken an
upward turn and the demand is also bet
ter; sales of fancy are reported above our
top prices. Butter and cheese are quite
steady; special brands Of butter bring up
to 2Sc.
