WHEAT FIRM, OWING TO BET
TER FOREIGN MARKETS.
Demand for Barley Slack, and
Prices Unchanged-Oats Con-
tinue to Move Off Well.

San FRANCISCO, Oct. 7th.
Wheat is firm, owing to better foreign
and Eastern markets; both spot and fu-
lures are higher; in the sample market
there is more disposition on the part OF
buyers to do business. Barley is un-
changed; the demand is slack; futures are
quiet. Oats continue to move off we'll at
the quotations: buyers refuse to pay any
advance, however; light arrivals to-day.
Some of the Eastern Corn expected is ar
riving; the market is not active and the
tendency of prices is lower. Some East
ern Buckwheat is at hand.
Hay arrivals were light; the demand is
good at quoted prices; the market is firm
except on Alfalfa, of which arrivals are
too heavy, constituting nearly half OF the
Hay coming in.
Very few changes in Fruits; trade IS
rather slow. Table Grapes are lower, ex-
cept for Isabella, which are doing better
Wine Grapes are firm. The Australian al a: 2
steamer took 1886 boxes OF Apples, 92,z5s
pounds of Dried Fruit and 1896 boxes OF
raisins. Oranges are hard to quote; there
are almost too few sold to make quota
tion.
Prices are unchanged, but the market
for Eggs and Butter is easier. The supply
of Butter is larger. Cheese Is well sus-
tanned.
