Oats Firm and Feed De-
scriptions Higher.
San Francisco, Oct. GOTH
The wheat situation is stronger all
around. Sensational cable advices show
strong and higher foreign markets, which
caused sharp advance at Chicago, and
in turn the local market went up. Chicago
opened to-day at an advance OF over
cents, and made still further gains, but
fell back later. The local speculative mar
ket opened cents higher for December,
and trading was lively. Barley did not
follow the course of wheat and remained
quiet; receipts were heavy. Oats are firm
in sympathy with wheat, and feed de-
scriptions are higher. Corn is still COM
ing in freely and the market is easy, ow-
ing to slow demand.
Alfalfa hay is very weak and is lower;
other varieties are unchanged, but are
dull; receipts are larger. Bran and mid
dlingS continue very hrm.
Table grapes are selling better, but
prices are no higher; good stock is not
plentiful. Wine grapes are in light re-
ceipt and are in demand; the market is
quite firm. Cantaloupes and nutmegs ar
rive sparingly. Bartlett pears in small
boxes sell well at soc per box. Ounces
are still higher. The steamer brought
LISP punches Of bananas and 42S cases of
pineapples.
There is an accumulation of fresh but
ter and the market is weak and lower
under light demand. Fair demand for
packed butter Eastern eggs are lower
for ordinary grades.
