WHEAT-The market was in much better
shape this morning. Advices from Liverpool
reported an improvement at that center and the
local situation responded with alacrity. EX-
porters have been preparing for a more favora-
BILE condition of things and have been quietly
securing for the past week all offerings at u %
that would class as No standard. Yesterday
morning there was general disposition to buy,
| and 81 26Lf 4 ctl was paid before the close of
business. though 81 % was claimed to be the
purchasing limit carly in the day. AT the mo-
ment there are no desirable shipping parcels
that can be had below 81 1871, while many hold
ers are asking 81 2715 + ctI. But the market can
| not be said to have as yet touched the higher
| figure, though it probably could be obtained in
emergency Although no very great Jump Ill
prices is anticipated. still it seems to be admit
| ted that the prospect is more encouraging than
| in long time.
on cali this morning business was unusually
active. There was liberal buying but the de-
| nand was fairly met. Prices were fully one cent
! per GENITAL higher than yesterday and would
likely have further advanced had n0tone prom
| nent operator furnished buyers with active
\ freedom Sales were:
| Buyer season-1,6oO tons, 81 81; 2,10o 81 SIS;

OATS-The situation is tame and depressed.
| By steamer from Oregon large accessiOns have
been made to already well-stocked market.
These recent heavy arrivals have not been of
fered on the tables of the Produce Exchange,
and the presumption is that they have been util-
lied for delivery on Seller 1884 contracts, which
mature tomorrow. 1t is understood that prom
inent speculative operators have held somewhat
| extensive contracts, and as the shorts Of any yet
remain OUT will have to settle by the 3lst inst,
it is quite reasonable to look for free offerings
and perhaps lower prices in the first week of the
new year We quote: Surprise and Milling,

| HOPS-The market wears the same dull as
pect us recently recorded by US and quotations
range from 1Oc to 12c for choice parcels. Lon
| don adyices dated 18th inst report the market
there as slightly better, after run on the
inferior grades owing otheire exceptional cheap
ness"
| RYE-Sfnce the advance in price a short time
| ago the receipts have increased in volume and
| dealers row have more stock on hand than they
| can conveniently handle. The asking range is
from 81 20 to 81 Pig p ctl, but the best bid so far
this week was 81 ~. This, it must be under
| stood, is jObbing figure for small amounts. At
| present prices there is no inquiry for export.
Shippers would not probably pay over 81 OH 4
ctl for round lots, and ii is somewhat questiona-
BILE if even this price could be promptly OBJ
| tanned for export purposes.
| POTATOES-The late storm caused break
| in the levee of Boudin Island, but it is not yet
| known to what damage may have Occurrcdto
| crops Prices are stronger for all kinds although
| trade is extremely dull. Arrivals are meager
from all quarters. The last oregon steamer did
| not brlnS GOWN any cO1SlguMellS. very lew
| shipments are being sent from the rivers and if
| there should happen to suddenly spring up an
| active inquiry prices would be pretty sure to
advance Wharf rates are as follows: Early

given at 75c@Sl 20 Z ctl. At the latter figure

BEANS-The market has been i'll lifeless
condition for several days. Light arrivals and

fcrings are far from heavy, while there is no
perceptible pressure to realize. Consgnees are
not inclined to make concessions, and dealers
are by no means anxious to make purchases

FRUIT-Oranges are coming in quite freely
with good prospect of more liberal supplies

fall There are no spring Woods here now eX-
cept small lines of Siskiyou, and the stock of
fall is gradually being worked down closely
Dealers are under the impression that by the
middle of January. or the lst OF February at the
latest the stocks in warehouse will be very
small. OF course prices are low, but holders
seem to think they will not improve, and there
fore they are meeting the demand at going rates
Sales are reported that aggregate 10000 lbs. in
