low the average. The Cereal market mas UNI
formly been weak, but to-day @ little firner
stand was manifested. Changes in values
have been limited in range, and in case of each
Cereal ia the buyers favor. Since week ago
to-day Buyer December Wheat has dwindled
from 81 3S2s to 81 3415, and Seller the year
from 81 31sz TO 81 3Oz and indications are
but favorable. Trading has been re-
strained somewhat by the belief that the gen.
eral crop outlook is better than at first calcu-
lated, and that in summing up more wheat
will be forthcoming than seemed in prosPecs
when early estimates were made public. Clear
ances thus far to date have amounted TO -
O34, Sl3 centaIs of Wheat, against 9, 156,6SS
for the same period of last season. Foreign
markets. from advices at hand, are seemingly
as dull as the local market. Shipments Of
Oats largely in excess of demand has stulti-
fed the market, and the quotations are dlfh-
cult to realize. Buyers have had things their
own way, and consequently prices have de-
clined, but to no serious extent. Barley moves
slowly, and there is no disposition
on the part of spectators to buy
at the low quotations offered. Clearances of
Barley for the past week have been made
amounting to $50 ctls, making total
for the season of AS, 317 ctls, whereas for
the same period of 1S91-92 but l43, 917 ctls
had been dispatched. But this seeming ad-
vantage is counteracted by the fact that tine
crop of this season is three times as large as
that of any for the past three years. Crops in
the East and Canada are short this year, how
ever, and holders will doubtless receive better
prices as the season advances. Corn is lower,
with downward tendency. Millstutfs are in
limited demand. Concessions have been
necessary to keep Hay moving, and receipts
for the past week have been very heavy. No
activity in Hops is yet manifested. There has
been but fair demand for Poultry thus far
this week, buyers holding off in expectancy
of the arrival of large Eastern consignment,
which may weaken the market. The Egg
market is in splendid shape, and slightly ad-
vancing Butter, which is mostly imported
from Humboldt County, is also good, and the
market has been active all the week. Cheese
is fairly active all around and quite steady.
Eastern markets for choice grades are quite
high, and as no competition is expected from
that source dairy products will continue
at good quotations in this market. Re-
ceipts of Fruit for the past week have
been moderately large, and the demand
corresponding, considering that Gamers have
been doing considerable buying. Bartlett
Pears are decreasing in values, not because
there is less demand but on account of ship
and ounces meet with good sales. Melons
are also in good demand at the low quota
lions. Strawberries are scarce and prices Will
doubtless advance. Dried Fruits and Canned
Fruits are very firm, in fact the sale of futures
has already consumed q major part of this
seasons crop. An effort is being made to sus-
pend the importation of Dried Fruit from
abroad during the prevalence of cholera, and
If it is successful, it cannot fail to cause an ex-
tremely large demand for the California pro-
duction. Vegetables ofaIl kinds are in heavy
supply, and the market is Overstocked. Trade
in Potatoes continues moderately active at
justice quotations, and Sweet Potatoes are a
little 6rmer than at last report.
