WHEAT MARKET WEAK FOR
SHIPPING GRADES.
Milling Not Offering, Holders Be
ing Very Firm-Barley Weak
Oats Dull.

San Francisco, July 26th
At Chicago Wheat declined sharply; the
local market is weak for shipping grades,
and buyers are decidedly indifferent; the
spot market has been largely nominal dur
ing the week; milling Wheat is not offer
ing, holders being very firm. Barley is
weak; futures opened lower and spot feed
has lower tendency; nothing doing in
brewing, as shippers are not in the mar
ket and local masters are supplied. Oats
have been quite dull of 1ate consumers
are working off their stocks and will wait
for the new crop slightly easier feel
ing in Corn, but prices are not affected;
some Eastern is again coming in. Rye has
been quite dull and the market is weak.
The Hay market is rather soft; nearly
all the Hay coming in is No. 2 stock, and
is wirebound; it would bring soc a ton
Hay in this year, as pasture is short and
some are already feeding their
stock. Buyers seem to have secured the
cess. Bran and Middlings rule firm; there
is good local demand for Middlings and
good export demand for Bran.
Some houses report higher prices for
Apricots in bulk; the market is firm on
bulk fruit, but slow on packed in boxes.
Blackberries and large Strawberries are
coming in; they bring about 10c per 10.
Melons are gradually getting cheaper as
off off Well p Prices On Pears ar and % Peaches in
bulk are not, established as yet; the few
lots received have varied greatly in
ton and the Peaches have averaged $35
for Freestone and sSOas5 for Clings.
The Dried Fruit market is in, good
not many contracts are being made, as
the disposition is to hold for better
prices. OF Peaches there are but few
of the old crop left new have not yet ap-
peared in market. but all Indications point
to fancy prices. On Prunes the bidders
high as sac having been bid for the four
sizes, with holders not anxious to sell at
that.
The Butter market has been rather easy
than otherwise, and, with a few excep-
tions dealers have been quoting lower fig
ures; there has been more Butter coming
nearby sections Cheese has ruled steady
and prices have an upward tendency re-
seiPtS pts, are smaller and the shelves are not
choice arrivals have been light and the
demand good; the presence of Eastern
here and more on the way prevents an
advance for local goods.
