THE WHEAT SITUATION DECID
EDLY WEAKER.
Barley Steady for Spot Feed and
Lower for Options-Further
Decline fin Oats.

San Francisco, July 9th.
The entire Wheat situation is decidedly
weaker; foreign markets are depressed
and the Eastern markets are lower; local
ly both spot and options are lower; mill
ing is hard to quote, holders demanding
and getting all sorts of prices up to $l-4
per Genital. Barley is steady for spot feed
and lower for options. Oats have further
declined; the market is dull; buyers are
holding back Corn has reacted the adj
vance was too sharp; it is again coming
in; the market for a time, was bare. Rye
is weak and lower
Hay is weaker arrivals for a few days
have been heavy and consumers are fairly
supplied; arrivals still consist almost en-
tirely of medium grades of Hay; the AL
falfa and some of the Oat Hay comes in
large bales, rope-bound, while the other
varieties come in three-quarter bales,
wire bound. The Hay coming from Ore
gon is selling at $15 for Wheat and Sl4
for Oat Straw is lower.
Apricots in bulk are firm and prices
have an advancing tendency; one Gamer
paid S65 to-day. There is wide range for
Pears in bulk: some run quite small. Good
Peaches are firm and such command top
prices; there is a lot of small, serubby
melons, are coming in freely and are NOV
ing well, the arrivals have been heavier
this year, as there is no northern market
to speak of: the output from Fresno this
season will be about 400 cars.
Butter is unchanged; the market con-
tinues we'll supplied, with no shipping de-
mand. Cheese Is firmer Eggs are firm;
sales of selected ranch at 22c and best
store at lie.
