COMMERCIAL.
SPECULATIVE MARKETS FOR
WHEAT VERY ERRATIC.
Barley Market Dull and Heavy
Oats Weaker-Corn Prices
Nominal.
San Francisco. Sept. 18th.


The speculative markets for wheat were
very erratic to-day. At the Call Board
futures had a sharp advance in sympathy
with an upward bulge in Chicago and
afterwards retreated when the latter mar
ket had tumble.
The local barley market was dull and
heavy. Receipts were 1880 centals. Oats
were dull and weaker. Receipts were
light, amounting to AGO centals, but larger
arrivals are expected soon. No corn has
been received for several days. Prices
are nominal.
Hay is heavy for all except gilt edge
wheat hay. Bran and middlings continue
firm.
Beans generally quiet and little change
is expected until the new crop comes for-
ward freely.
Raspberries and blackberries were easy.
Choice peaches firmer. Cantaloupes and
nutmegs in heavy supply and slow of
sale at concessions Table grapes weak.
Mexican lines are scarce, and prices have
had a sharp decline.
Potatoes continue easy. Onions were
easy Tomatoes slightly firmer. Green
corn very weak. Little change in other
vegetables.
More activity in butter market at re-
prices. California eggs have had slight
decline, as the high prices recently asked
by dealers have caused buyers to give
preference to Eastern eggs.
