San Francisco, Aug 9th.
Spot Wheat has been quite dull and
prices are largely nominal an easier
feeling at Chicago acted similarly on the
local speculative market. there has been
but one clearance for this month to date;
holders of Milling Wheat are not offering
their goods and buyers have to pay full
prices for what they need. No change in
Barley to-day; offerings are ample for the
limited local demand; futures are lower;
the demand for feed from the interior is
lighter; for a times twas quite good. Oats
have ruled quite duh for long time; ;;'the
supply is not heavy, but, in the absence OF
buyers, the old prices do moi improve.
During the week the Hay market has
been weakened by too heavy arrivals, in
Guiding considerable from Oregon, Utah
and Nevada. OF the twenty odd cars in
to-day none was sold at the auction. Bid
ding however, was lively and at better
prices. There is feeling that, the mar
be- Be wr great II deal ~ Of foreign ign HAY lay sent M there here
right along. Bran is steady Middlings
are rather easy.
Canning Fruits are weaker: the Gamers
are supplied for the present to the full ca
pacity of their works and are not buying
to any extent. There is not much life 10
the market for the trade, either. Supplies
of all fruits are liberal. Berries arrived
very late this morning and sold lower,
few Longworths sold at 50 per chest.
japanese Plums are offering al S5c@$1 per

Oranges are neglected and the occasional
buyer almost names his price.

During the week there has been sharp
