COMMERCIAL.
Business Again Resumed After the
Holiday Rest.
steadier Feeling in the Wheat situa-
ton at the Bay-Vegetable
Market Dull.

Business opened at the usual hour on the
Produce Exchange this morning, and The at
tendance Of brokers was as large as it usually
is on the early call. While the Wheat mar
ket does not pre- ent any activity Of conse-
quence there is IA her steadier feeling TO the
situation than was observable last week
Whether this be an indication for better
times or not, can only be determined by the
future course Of events. Shippers appear 10
be in no hurry to trade, but they are at the
same time ready to sample all offerings tha'
are submitted, though results are not large as
to the number OF sales or the quantity trans
ferred. There Is no change rom the easy IeeI-
ing which has Characterized the Farley mar
keu for some time. Dealers were expecting
change for the better when the shipping de-
Iuand for the West Coast began to develop.
Or course this trade has helped matters, but 1t
has not been OF sufficient benefit to cause any
advance in prices. However, the situation
might be q great deal worse, while many
owners incline 10 the belief that the time is
not far distant when the situation viii show
improvement in the interest OF sellers.
The Vegetable market was very duh this
morning. Potatoes were in moderate de-
mand with receipts OF 2,l37 sacks. Onions
hold up well, with arrivals of 201 sacks.
Mushrooms were more plentiful, with sales at
Toe to 15c, Buttons bringing as high as 2Uc e
D. Los Angeles Tomatoes brought 81 80 q
box. Prices elsewhere showed no change.
Business is light IN the Fresh Fruit market,
and there is little inquiry outside of Apples,
c Dice varieties Of which are fairly active.
Five carloads Of Oranges arrived from River
side and the new supply has had weaken
ing effect on the market. Mexican Lines are
still stitily held. Grapes arrive IN very poor
condition.
IN the Poultry market prices are weak for
all kinds OF stock. California receipts are
liberal, and the market is overstocked with
Eastern. Two carloads have just arrived
Turkeys are getting down to bedrock, and
sales We're made as low as l6c.
