Review of the San Francisco Market
for the Past Week.
Trade Dull and Inactive, and Values
Changed But Very Little
Wheat Weaker.
Especial Correspondence REcoRD-Ux1ox.I

The past week has been an uneventfui one
for the San Francisco markets. Trade has
been duh and inactive, and values have
changed very little. The money market is
easy, demand being occasioned principally on
real estate loans. But little building is going
On, however interest being centered in poll
tics.
Wheat is weaker than at time OF last weekly
summary, when it was presumed the bottom
had been reached. As low as 81 80 .
bushel for choice shipping Wheat was the
best obtainable the first few days OF the week,
but little squirt took place and choice Is now
quotable at 81 3114. At this quotation the
market is quiet. Only. 700 tons OF wheat
were sold at this mornings session o. the
Produce Exchange, as follows: 800 tons
Buyer December at from 81 33E@l 1874,
and 400 tons of May at 81 56}s-just about
the same as last Thursday. Advices from the
Eastern and European marts continue dis
couraging, and stocks are accumulatlng
Freights, under these conditions. are naturally
dull.
Barley is steady but nearly at a standstill.
There is demand Principally for choice feed.
On 'Change 500 tons changed hands, COM

Oats are Offering literally and an easy feel
ing prevails. Corn is barely steady at quota
tons.
Bran and Middlings are lower. Flour is
lower than a week ago. Beans, except Bayos,
which have advanced, are easy. Lima have
declined.
Growers are not selling and brewers are not
buying Hops. 1t was expected a week ago
that an amicable settlement would be reached,
but the buyer and seller are as far apart as
ever.
Choice qualities of Hay sell tolerably well;
inferior grades are not in demand.
a slightly better feeling prevailed to-day on
Butter, but it is not quotable higher. There
are at this writing large stocks on hand.
Cheese is steady, with good demand for fancy
grades.
Selected Ranch Eggs sella as high as 10 cents.
All California and Eastern Eggs are firm.
Honey and Beeswax are unchanged
Garden Truck drags. Tomatoes are especl-
ally weak owing to the bad condition in
which they arrive. The market is fairly good
for Potatoes ana Onions, but Sweet Potatoes
are dull.
The Fruit market was quite active this
morning. Arrivals are quite light and the de-
mand better. Choice Fruit sells well all the
year around. AppIes and Grapes are cleaning
up well.
Dried Fruits are in good demand and
slightly higher Raisins move fairly well at
quotations
The Poultry market is at a standstill, al
most. Eastern receipts have oyerstoclled
the market. Turkeys are very low and weak.
Game is in good demand, that is, 1Or choice.
Poor quality is not marketable.
Provisions are firmly held. Live Stock is
in plentiful supply.
General staples have not changed. Trading
in them is light.
