WHEAT-There is not the slightest exciting
feature either In the market or its surroundings
Active export movement is in progress but it
does not create a ripple on the trade current
which moves along slowly and without inter-
ruption. The fleet now loading grain for foreign
ports makes a goodarray, and the outlook is fay
orable for pretty general clean-out of the sew
eral warehouses before the advent of the Tax
Collector on the list of March. There is active,
though not urgent demand. Buyers can be more
readily found for large lots than for small par
GELS. From 81 321 TO 81 So 2 ctl is the range at
which good to choice qualities change hands.
BARLEY-The market drags along in weari-
some fashion. There is next to no demand for
feed descriptions, while shipping orders for
Brewing are believed to be about all satisfied
For Chevalier there is some little inquiry for
port to the Australian colonies, though the
amount now required is not of large proportions
We quote prices as follows: Feed good to
choice, 771a@S0c; common, 70975c; Brewing
90c@Sl; Chevalier. 81 80 for Standard; fair to

p ctl.
OATS-Movement in this article is not brisk
To effect liberal sales it would be necessary for
holders to lower asking figures. At the mo-
ment, however, the controlling interest shows
no inclination to such a course. Buyers can fill
all requirements with ease at current prices.

POTAT0ES-Receipts from the river for the

nese New Year, and prices for stock from that
direction are likely TO keep steady Arrivals

for such stock. We quote prices as follows

FRuIT-Few good Apples are in market. A
really selec: article would sell above top quota
tons in jobbing way. In fact as high as 81 IS
has been paid for large, sound and highly colored
descriptions. Common and medium qualities
90 almost begging. Arrivals of Oranges are some
what liberal. Good TO choice Oranges find quick
sale, but receipts of this character are not
heavy The market is oyerstocked with COM
mon Oranges, including many windfal s. also
some covered with scale bug, and others to
small to be desirable Such stock can only be
sold to peddlers, who purchase goods at low
figures, decidedly in their favor. Native Lemons
are in better supply at cheaper rates. Offerings
of California Lines are small, while the quality
is poor and the article attracts but little atteu-
ton. We quote jobbing lots as follows: Apples.

BUTTER-The decline in prices noted week
ago brought out orders from distant points, aud
increasing receipts were therefore better han
die in the interest of producers. Had 1t MOI
been for this shipping demand, values wosiid
have further softened instead OF keeping steady
The late rains have helped ID furnish plenty o.
green feed, and more liberal supplies of fresh
Butter are assured in the near future. The
opinion is general that quotations VIII soor
shape even more favorable TOR consumers
