MILLERS DOING CONSIDERA-
BILE CUTTING IN FLOUR,
Fair Trading in Shipping Grades
of Wheat-Bar1ey Not Very
Active and Supply Little.

San Francisco, Aug Both
During the week the millers have done
considerable cutting in Flour and some
quote even lower than. the decline noted
below. Wheat has been, on the drop local
ly; the foreign markets have not given
our market much encoura cement; at the
moment there is fair trading in shipping
grades at our figures, but milling is hard
to move; locally futures opened higher
to-day, following a better feeling at Chi
cago. Barley is not very active and the
supply is liberal; nothing doing in brew
ing; options have been quite dull; they
opened higher to-day. Oats and Corn have
been dull and there has been very little
on which to base quotations; ample sup
plies of both here. Rye has been neg
lected and the market is quite feature
less.
The Hay market is off, owing to contin-
ued heavy arrivals; outside Hay con-
tinues to pour in; stocks on hand are lib
eral and buyers are none too active. Straw
is lower and the market is weak: The
market on Bran and Middlings is less
firm; arrivals of Bran from the north
were quite heavy to-day
Fancy Apples are in better demand and
we'll at quoted prices; rather too many
Longworths coming in. Slow sale for
Figs. Grapes are dull; few fancy may
Watermelons coming from Fresno; pre-
vailing prices do not pay Fancy Red
Nectarines are doing better. Fancy
anxious for Clings and the market is
easier Pears are firm for choice and
fancy; in bulk there Is nothing extra
large coming; those here sell at cur
range. No Mexican Lines here in lots;
a few stray cases offering. Lemons are
more plentiful and weaker. Very little
call for Oranges.
Dried Fruits are steady. There has not
been much activity, particularly for
Prunes. During the week q car Of new
Chicago, the first of the season.
