feature either IN the market or its surroundings.
Active export movement is in progress, but it
does not create ripple on the trade current,
which moves along slowly and without inter
ruption. The fleet now loading grain for foreign
ports makes goodsarray, 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 32. TO 81 IS q 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 Chevaier there is some little inquiry for ex-
port to the Australian colonies, though the
amount now required Is not of large proportions.
We quote prices as follows: Feed, good to
choice, 7724@SQc; common, 70@75c; Brewing,
90c@S1; Chevalier, 81 so for Standard; fair to
good bay, Sl@1 20; fair to good coast, S0@S5c

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 course. Buyers can fill
all requirements with ease at current prices

P0TATOES-Receipts from the river for the
next day or so will be light, owing to the Chi
nese New Year, and prices for stock from that

from Humboldt and Oregon are likely to show
increase. and there is probability of lower prices
for such stock. We quote prices as follows:

has been paid for large, sound and highly colored
descriptions. Common and medium qualities
go 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 CON-
| 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 atteI-
| ton. We quote jobbing lots as follows: Apples.

/ BUTTER-The decline in prices Noted a week
ago brought out orders from distant points, and
| increasing receipts were therefore better han
| die in the interest of producers. Had it not
| been for this shipping demand, values would
hare further soitened instead Of keeping steady.
| The late rains have helped ID furnish plenty OF
| green feed, ana more liberal supplies of fresh
| Butter are assured in the pear future The
| opinion is general that quotations viii soon
| shape even more favorable for consumers.
