SAN Francisco, December Sd.
General business, which has been seriously
impaired for the past week by heavy rains,
showed Improvement in activity and the tone
OF the market this morning.
No particular change can be noted in the
Gram market, the same weakness and mac
tivity which has characterized the market for
the past fortnight still existing. In Wheat
circles offerings are light and buyers far from
being eager to make purchases. Options are
weak and inactive, only 900 tons OF Wheat
changing hands on Call this morning. OF the
sales 700 tons were May at from 81 321sg
80; 100 tons ofBuyer December at 81 2674
Stockton delivery, and 100 tons ditto at
81 265E. Foreign markets are inactive and
weak and Eastern quotable slightly lower.
Barley options were somewhat more active
100 tons selling. OF this amount 300 tons
were January at from SS1E96S@c, 800 tons
of May ut 9O56c, and 300 tons buyer Deccm-
Der 1T sec. The spot market is steady.
Fancy Creamery Butter is firm at values
quoted, and other grades steady. Supplies OF
hrstnamed have been tardy in arriving,
which has given the market a chance to clean
up. Cheese is steady, fancy mild being firm
and actively inquired for. Eggs continue
HtNANS
sionally shaded.
Poultry is firm. There was a slightly easier
feeling on Turkeys on account OF Eastern ar
rivals. Game sells readily at justice quota
tions if stocks are good.
Vegetables-garden truck-was very duh
this morning, being of inferior quality. Some
few Tomatoes sold as high as 81 25
Fresh Fruits experienced a better move
ment this morning, especially Apples and
Pears Some few Grapes sold for 81 80 p
box. A consignment of Fresno Seeding
Oranges arrived to-day which compare favor
ably with Riverside Seedlings. They sold
readily for SO q box.
Otherwise the markets are steady and un-
changed.
