SAN FRANCISCO, December 18TH.
The Wheat market was quiet and easy TO-
day. Prices are toning down In speculative
circles. There was a stronger tone to the
Barley market to-day, and asking prices were
higher The week opens fairly active
market in Oats, with prices rather steady
than otherwise.
Receipts of Vegetables were light this morn
ing and business was dull. The changes in
prices were immateria., but the tone of nearly
everything was weak. Sweet Potatoes are
strong and in good demand. Other varieties
are firm.
In Fresh Fruits the demand is very quiet
for this time of the year. Grapes are not ar
irving SO freely. Choice Siskiyou Apples are
selling we'll. Oranges are dull
There are no changes to report in Butter
and Eggs are steadier, with supplies moderat-
ing. Cheese moves of fairly well.
The Poultry market is very duh and weak.
Game was in light demand, as usual at this
time OF the year.
