San Francisco. Aug. 18th

San Francisco, Aug. 1fth.
Wheat on call was in good demand at
higher prices this morning, and the local
spot market was firm at unchanged quo
tations. The upward movement was in
sympathy with an advance in the Chicago
and Liverpool prices. The local Barley
market was dull and had a weak tone.
Receipts were 6,420 centals. Oats We're
also quieter, red being steady. Receipts
were 2,020 centals. Corn was heavy and
prices were quoted lower. There were no
arrivals of Corn.
The arrivals of Hay for the past twenty
four hours amounted to 89S tons and the
market continued to have weak tone.
Bran and Middlings were steady. Re-
ceipts of the former were 2,030 sacks and
of the latter 40 sacks. Rolled Barley is
weak
Strictly Fancy Creamery Butter con-
tinueS to clean up we'll, notwithstanding
the recently advanced prices Other
Cheese is in fair demand at the quota
tions. The Egg market continues firm.
The. supply of fancy Gravenstein Ap-
pies is lessening and prices are firmer.
For round lots, 81 per box is more readily
obtained, and small jobbing sales are
being made at $110 and upwards. Re
only a few chests and they sold at an ad-
vance. Large Strawberries continued to
arrive mostly in poor condition and prices
abundant and easy. Isabella sold at 81
per crate. Canteloupes and Nutmeg
Melons We're plentiful and weaker
at previous prices, and trade was rather
dull. Receipts of Plums are falling off to
some extent.
