sAN FRANCISCO. December / 9th.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 10th.
Trade in the sample line of Wheat is not OF
heavy proportions, though there is enough
buying on shipping account to keep the mar
ket in regular motion. Prices are not firm,
and few exporters are disposed TO pay top
figures, even for select article In specu-
latiYe circles business has been rather slow
this week, with prices softer. The Barley
market has taken a slight turn for the better
TINS week. Although stocks are known to be
large, there is no great quantity being pressed
on the market. and this pauclty of offerings
has probably helped To strengthen the situa-
ton. Anyhow, there is much better feeling
in Barley circles, and the outlook is consid-
cred fairly promising There has been no
further advance in Oat values. Arrivals have
not been particularly heavy OF late while the
demand has been good and occasionally brisk.
