WHEAT STEADY-THE MARKET
FOR SPOT DULL.
Barley Dull-Spot and Feed Lower
Tendency Of Dat Prices
Downward.

San Francisco, Aug. 10th.
Wheat is steady; the market for spot
has been quite dull; shippers have not
been in the market for some time; Chi
cago closed higher to-day and local fu-
lures had better tone, though the open
ing price was lower than yesterday. -Four
has shown no change since the decline
on the 1st instant; there was large ship
ments to the Orient during the week.
Barley is dull and spot feed is lower; OPP
tons are inactive; the very small guam
tity of brewing that is changing hands
brings an average of $1.271a per ctl. Oats
have been dull for a long time and the
tendency of prices has been lower. White
Corn is in limited supply and is higher;
yellows are steady. No demand for Rye;
the market is amply supplied and prices
are weak.
Hay has been steady; buyers are still
holding back for lower prices, but with
poor results and the market is conse-
quently dull; commission merchants are
storing their Hay; considerable of that
coming is Alfalfa. Bran and Middlings
are very firm under light receipts and
The Fruit market has been blocked dur
ing the week; In fact there was so much
here that considerable has been reshipped
to the country for drying Gamers have
been loaded up with contract Fruit and
We're not buying in this market; just now
the outlook is rather better, though there
rived late and sold low. Too many Cam
taloupes here and the market is lower.
grapes are not moving as they should.
Apricots are no longer worth quoting.
LINES and Lemons have ruled firm. The
TACT that there will be no more Lines
here for some time makes holders firm.
Lemons have been scarce.
During the week prices for new Dried
Pears were established as quoted below.
The market is in good shape for all dried
Fruits. They are wanted, and it is not

later on. Owing to the immense amount
of Peaches and Pears unloaded this
market during the past week consider
country for drying.
ButterI has ruled quite steady at the i'm
proved prices; the supply has not been too
up. Cheese has been steady as quoted !;
stocks are moderate. A rather easier feel
Ing. is reported in Eggs, especially for sec
onds, which are accommodating.
