The San Francisco grain market Is
exhibiting evidences Of gradual re-
turn to normal conditions, and wnlle
there have been no regular exchange
acssions or dealing In futures, there
s. some spot business, and dealers who
are In q position to supply the wants
OF buyers are kept fairly busy.
The movement In Wheat and Corn Is
naturally light, because of the de-
struction OF the local malls, but there
IN a fair and slowly increasing demand
for feed Barley, Oats and other Feed
strfs. Oats are In short supply and
very firm, as the market had been
closely cleaned up prior to the fire and
q large portion of the available sup
plies were burned Barley is weak, as
large lines of brewing stock, for which
there is no demand at present, have
been thrown on the market for feed,
and besides the new crop viii soon
be In
The situation In Beans remains the
same, there being fair demand for
assorted cars for shipment to Texas.
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables are
holding their own, although the de-
mand for the latter is still curtailed
on account Of the trouble experienced
In cooking. The Gamers are still tax
ing large quantities OF Peas and
Asparagus. paying 10 per pound for
the former and 75c9sL25 per box for
the latter.
The tone of the market for Dairy
Produce Is steady and a majority OF
the trade Is well pleased with the inn
proving situation In addition to the
regular local trade there Is a brisk
speculative demand for Eggs and
ready outlet In shipping channels for
surplus stocks Of Butter and Cheese.

The Hay circular Of Scott &
Magner says:
I'VE have no record at hand Of Hay
that has arrived since the fire. The
railroad has brought none to San
Francisco since that day. The only
Hay that has arrived is that shipped
in by water. The amount has been
decidedly moderate, and excepting for
the large stocks that were on hand in
warehouses not burned we would
have been very short Of Hay by this
time. There has been no market since
the fra Therefore quotations remain
as heretofore. II Is expected during
the coming week that the railroad VIII
begin to move Hay again and our
market assume a definite basis"
