stronger tendency owing to the drop in
freights, which are now quoted as low as ISIS
Cd for the United Kingdom. The visible sup
ply at the East shows another heavy increase
for the week, estimated at 100000 bushels.
The receipts are accumulating all the time in
face of remarkably light shipments.
The business transacted in Wheat options
this morning was very light. only amounting
70 1000 tons, of which 400 tons were buyer
December at from 81 20 to 81 2614, and 700
tons Of May at from 81 303s to 81 3O12 The
receipts were 5, 100 centals.
Barley is stin stitfiy held, and prices were
firmer to-day.
The Vegetable market continues quiet, with
scarcity of the new green varieties which
usually make their appearance at this season
of the year. There are few Peas from Los
Angeles, and some struggling boxes of AS
paragus from Sacramento but the demand for
neither Is great. Potatoes and Onions hold
firm. The receipts OF the former were 5,091
sacks and OF the latter 273 sacks.
outside OF choice Apples and Oranges there
IS little doing in the Fresh Fruit market
California Oranges are plentiful, but sales are
slow in comparison with the imported Man
darins, which hold firm. Dried fruits and
Nuts are in fair demand, but business is not
so good as dealers expected during the hol-
day week.
The Poultry market is heavily supplied
with Eastern stock TurSeys are coming in
light ut present, being held back in the in
terror until later in the week. The impression
seems to be that prices Will be high about
CHRISTMAS. Game is coming IN lively and
prices are fair.
In the market for Dairy Produce Butter
holds up and Eggs are steady, with 1irmer
tendency. Cheese OF the choice varieties is
firm.

range is from 1901 lie, and such parcels as
are held at 10000 are neglected. The bearish
tone of the market is assisted by the APP
proach OF the holiday season, and, in addi-
lion, great felt at the large stocks in
