San Francisco. Aug. 25th.

San Francisco Aug. 18th.
Wheat is unchanged; the market is
rather steadier to-day; at Chicago the
market opened lower, but subsequently
improed and closed higher; a cargo down
from Port Costa to-day for South Africa.
Barley takes a wider range for spot feed;
plenty offering and demand is fair; OPP
tions are dull. Buyers are still taking
Oats for immediate requirements only
and the market shows no changes in
prices; supplies are ample. Not a great
deal of Corn here and not much wanted;
previous prices stand.
Considerable Hay arrived to-day, in
Guiding 11O, tons from Oregon; nearly all
was sold and bids ranged rather higher
than Yesterday; another car of Wheaton
sold at SIS; the Oregon Hay ranged from
$12u1450
ply, and such would bring $l.25 A few
extra Blackberries bring more than our
top price. Peaches to the trade are weak:
and eng to ssp No. Fears n IN
are scarce and wanted; some dealers pre-
dict that $50 will be paid in few days
| owing to cool weather. Lemons are
lower.
Butter is quite steady and unchanged
in price; the demand is good, and stocks
previous prices.
