The Wheat Market Not Making
Mush Headway'
Buyers Have No Trouble in Securing
All They Want, and on About
Their Own Terms.
SAY rRANc1sco. January 24th


very promising and general feeling of en-
couragement prevails. Prices at once
strengthen, but this condition of things lasts
only short while, and matters gradually
iall back to the old routine. AS q conse-
quence, spot business is more or less unsatis-
factory to operators. There is no large
amount of Wheat Offering but buyers appear
TO have no trouble in securing all they want
and on about their own terms. Many holders
OF Barley are disappointed at the situation. 1t
was expected that reduced overland railroad
freights would so increase the demand that
better prices would rule. But SO far
there has been no marked stimulating of mat
ters and the market seems to move along
about quietly as usual, However, stocks
are being gradually lowered, and the time
may not be far distant when the situation
will show improvement in the interest of sell
lers. There is pretty fair inquiry for all kinds
of Oats, and sales are more numerous than
they were a short time ago. Prices show
steadier tone for the better grades, a small ad-
vance being esIabiis he'd in the quotations Tor
milling cats. Some attention is said TO be
given to black descriptions, and liberal trans
actions In this quality are not unlikely in the
near future.
Trading was light in the Vegetable market
to-day, with little or change in anything.
Potatoes were steady, with receipts OF ~
sacks. A Shipment from Oregon viii be
auctioned on wharf tomorrow, which will
set prices. A few Green Peas and some As
paragus came in to day Onions meet with
ready sale. Mushrooms are in light supply.
-Four more carloads of Oranges are expected
from the south on top OF the lr' sent supplies,
which are very heavy. The market for both
Oranges and Apples is very dull owing TO the
cold weather California Lemons continue
nrm, the crop, which was plentiful, being
rather late in curing. Dried Fruits are active
and firm at quotations. Stocks of California
Nuts have cleaned up well.
The Butter market has steadied a little with
a weak feeling IN all grades OF packed Stocks
are heavy. In Eggs there is little change, and
sales are slow of choice ranch, which are sup
planted by store. Good mild new Cheese
moves Oh readily, and prices are firmly main-
tained.
a carload of Eastern Poultry came in this
morning and another is due. The receipts of
California stock are light in comparison
Prices hold steady. Game came in very light
this morning, and the condition of the Ducks
was poor.
