kets-stocks Almost Entirely
Cleaned Up.
san FRANc1sco, January 2sth.


were heavy sellers, the reports from the grow
ing Western crops being of an exceptionally
favorable nature, owing to the late rains,
which have been pretty general. Had the
long operators on the local exchange had any
intention of standing under prices here To-
day, they abandoned il pretty early IN the
day and prices were weak at quotations. Only
200 tons of May changed hands at 81 33H.
The receipts were 4, ,S19 centals. The Barley
market was steady, with sales of 200 tons at
from SIX to S4j& cents. The spot Wheat
market is weak, with light offerings. Ihe
foreign markets are dull.
There is nothing new in the vegetable mar
ket, and stocks of early vegetables are light,
with the exception OF Green Peas, which are
accommodating. Los Angeles tomatoes are
scarce and firm. Potatoes are holding stllt
Onions are in acti We demand at higher prices
Asparagus IS in light demand. Button Mush-
rooms are firm
The severe weather has had an unlavorable
effect on the fruit market, and business is
very dull in all lines. Choice varieties OF Ap-
pies are firmly held. but the demand is light.
Oranges move OIL slowly. A few Strawberries
come in, but are slow OF sale.
In the market for dairy produce Butter
rules weak on heavy increase IN receipts.
Low grades rule i'll favor OF buyers. In Eggs
good store lots are most active. Cheese is
steady.
There is no change in the poultry market,
outside light improvement IN the demand
for Turkeys. Game comes in light, but fully
equal to the demand.
