SPOT WHEAT IS DULL AND
LOWER.
Practically no Barley Market
Small Trading in Oats at
Former Quotations.

san FRANCISCO, aug ISL
Flour has been reduced 25c per barrel
for extras. Spot wheat is quite dull and
lower; futures opened lower but improv-
ed later in the day: at Chicago futures
closed higher: local receipts were liberal
from the north. There is practically no
barley market; spot trading is slow; fu-
lures opened lower; receipts are more
than needed. Nothing new in oats; small
trading at former prices. Not much call
for corn; Eastern continues to arrive.
Hay receipts were over 1,200 tons to-
day, nine cars of which were Oregon and
three Nevada; the market was easy: for
a car of choice wheat hay SIS was bid
and refused. Large arrivals of bran. but
prices are not disturbed: the market is
easy.
Not many berries in to-day; a few Long
worths brought $SQ9 per chest Apples
are easier. Bulk fruit was in moderate
Supply. Peaches in baxes are firmer. The
market is practically bare OF Mexican
lines; a steamer is due to-day with eco
cases aboard. lot of poor oranges are
on the market and an auction sale will
be held tomorrow to clean up. Fancy
lemons are higher; common are unchang-
ed
Butter is steady at unchanged prices.
Eggs are firm. The market to-day is not
very active. No changes in cheese.
