A Slight Advance in Wheat in the San
Francisco Market.
Barley Steady, But Lightly Dealt in
Fancy Grades Of Butter
Very Firm.
Especial Correspondence REcoRD-US1oS.l

The week opens with fairly satisfactory
business. AS predicted in these columns sew
eral days since, a slight advance in Wheat has
taken place. There is no particular reason for
the advance except that holders would not
sell at former quotations and buyers wanted
Wheat. The tone of both Eastern and Eng
lIsh markets is Arm, with fair activity. III IS
believed from now on there will be larger
volume of business transacted in this market
and that shipping will set IN. On the floor OF
the Produce Exchange this morning wheat
was solely dealt in, sales aggregatlng o,Ioo
tons, principally buyer December at rom
81 352s to 81 3614; 800 tons of May sold at
from 81 DO 10 81 4054.
Barley is steady, but lightly dealt in. Rye,
Corn and Oats remain unchanged, with no
activity, as is the case with other cereals.
Fancy grades OF Butter are very firm at
slight advance. Cheese and Eggs are in fair
demand, with no change.
Vegetables are moving slowly. Potatoes
and Onions are still in splendid demand for
shipping purposes. Tomatoes range little
higher to-day owing to light receipts.
The opening day of the week is never brisk
for fresh Fruit Grapes were rather SITTER to-
day on account of shipments north, but the
feeling is only temporary, as receipts are in
excess of demand. There is little better
movement on all kinds of Pears. Piums and
Prunes are stiff. Gamers have about all the
Peaches they desire and the market tor them
Is weaker. Fruit-growers need never hesitate
shipping prime Fruit, as every day such meets
with ready sale.
Poultry is nominal at quotations.
An advance in Provisions may shortly be
looked for. The market is stiff locally, and
Eastern advices note slight raise in Lard.
