tatoes Firm-Fruft Market
Dull-Butter Weak.
san FRANc1sco, january 18Th.

not very safe Just at present. According to
the most reliable estimates the surplus on
hand January 1st was 36,717,Oo0 bushels
larger than one year ago. This is obtained by
an approximate estimate of 7O,OOO,Ooo
bushels Wheat in all hands on January /,
1892 and estimating the present crop at
51o,00O,O50 bushels. With this, and allow
ing 5o,Ooo,OOo as a surplus on July /, 1898,
the quantity available for export would be
about l71 100000 bushels. The business
done this morning on the local exchange was
very light, only 5000 tons of May Wheat
changing hands at from 81 3915 to 81 3354.
The receipts were 114,3s9 Centals Barley
was stronger at an advance. owing to the re-
ported reduction in overland freight rates
East. The sales were l 900 tons at from s55s
TO S61z cents. The receipts were 3, ,492 centais.
The Vegetable market is lightly supplied
with early varieties. Potatoes hold firm un-
der moderate demand. Choice Onions are
q, IN good request. Asparagus is more plenJl-
ful, with slow sales at reduced prices The re-
ceipts OF Peas are very large. Cucumbers
continue to arrive. Mushrooms are in good
There is no change to report in Fresh Fruits
and business is very dull. only the best
grades OF both Apples and Oranges meet with
ready SALE and these are scarce, especially
Ia the latter. Very few winter Pears are now
offering: Dried Fruits are firm. with stocks
ample for the demand
The receipts of Poultry are not excessive
and stocks clean up fairly well, except in
alive. Game arrives in heavy quantities and
the low range of prices is maintained.
The Butter market is still depressed for all
grades outside OF the fancy. Eggs are steady,
store cleaning up well in place OF Eastern,
which are out of the market. Cheese is un-
changed.
