The Wheat Market at San Francisco
Sluggish and Dull.
Business In Barley of Holiday Char
acter, There Being No Dispo-
sition to Trade.
San FRANCISCO. December 26th.


SAN FRANCISCO, December 26th.
The local Wheat market is sluggish and
easy, and is likely to keep so the remainder
of the week To-day is a holiday in England,
and no quotations came from that direction.
Business in Barley is of holiday character,
there being no disposition TO trade. Trade In
Oats has been fairly good OF late, though for
the past few days there has been let up in
the inquiry. This, however, is looked upon
as only temporary, and dealers expect re-
newal of activity after business men have bal
aDced annual accounts.
The immediate situation in Dried Fruits is
summarized in Thomas Produce Report as
follows: The approach Of a new year, bring
ing with 1t the usual annual stock taking is
keeping buyers out OF the market for the pres
ent time. Purchases for immediate necessary
demands only are made, and this state of
affairs will likely continue until 1894 will be
with us. Holders also, by their anxiety to
realize and turn into money the lots they
may have on hand, are not helping the mar
ket, so that, in general way, the situation is
rather weak, although, owing to ths reduced
stocks of good Peaches and Apricots, these
goods may be considered as firm, as some
little demand exists TO I'LL orders"
