Weather, and Trading Very Dull

SAN FRANCISCO, February 9th.


friendly measure has been far-reaching, and
even English business has suffered from il 10
some extent. Supplies in England are still in
heavy excess Of the demand. 1t is not con-
sldered likely that India will ship wheat I'M
til March. The local market steadied little
to-day in sympathy with the East, but BUSH
ness was very light. The total sales aggre-
gated ], 500 TONS all of which were May, at
from 81 31k to 81 313s. There was
stronger tone in the Barley market. the de-
mand picking up a little for shipping pur-
poses. The sales amounted to 500 tons OF
May at from 6515c TO s5}5c. Spot wheat is
quiet, with limited offerings. The English
markets are dull and weak.
The changes in the fresh Fruit market are
few and the demand is quiet. Mexican Lines
alone are tirmer with light holdings. Oranges
move OFT slowly. Choice Apples are in fair
demand with easier tone in prices. Ba-
nanas are again plentiful with fresh arrivals
from Honolulu.
The Vegetable market is affected by the
weather and business is very dull, with light
supplies of early varieties There is a wide
range In the price of Tomatoes, and while
sales OF choice nave been made as high as
So %, the poorer quality is hard to dispose of
AZ Soc per box. There is no change in the
prices OF Potatoes. Choice Onions are firm at
higher prices. Asparagus is in moderate de-
mand. Green Peas are in light demand.
Mushrooms were more plentiful.
The Butter market was unchanged to-day,
and the receipts still run stocks up greatly in
excess OF the demand. There was a tirJner
tone in the Egg market with no change in
prices. Choice grades remain firm with
weaker tendency in the lower grades.
The Poultry market is fairly active, with an
improvement in prices of Ducks and Hens.
