The Advanced Prices for Wheat Fri
day Not Sustained on Saturday.
Scarcely Any Buying for Shipment.
and Mfllers Abundantly Supplied
for Immediate Wants.

! SAN FRANCISCO, December 18th
The advanced prices for Wheat futures,
which were the notable feature of Cali Board
! business on Friday, were not well sustained
yesterday, and as result there an easier
| tone apparent all along the line There was
no real basis for the enhan ced prices except
local speculative movement 1t did not even
attain proportions sufficiently important to
be designated as a deal. While the record of
the Call Board showed 81 IL a Genital as the
price of spot Wheat, shippers could not afford
to pay more than 81 O5@1 O71a, and the latter
| figure was for fancy article These prices
prevailed in the sample market, and they rep
/ resent the full limit justified by valuations in
/ the English market. There was scarcely any
buying for shipment yesterday, and millers
appear to be abundantly supplied for all i'm
mediate wants. Barley and Oats sell moder-
ately well, but Corn is very dull and cheap.
Traffic in the Produce markets yesterday
was inactive, and supplies carried over are
| large.
| New Oranges are making very attractive
display Choice Navas are freely offered ut
reasonable figures, and Seedlings are slow to
move. Mexican Lines are in light supply,
and the price is higher and firmly held.
Choice Red Apples are held steady, and the
inquiry Is lair. Grapes are scarce and there
is very little strictly choice stock offering.
! The demand is small and prices are low. Per-
simmons and Pears are very SLOW to sell.
Cranberries are unchanged. Dried Fruits
| continue quiet. with supplies liberal. Local
trade Is light, and the demand for export pur-
poses Is temporarily at standstill. PruneS
and Raisins are particularly dull.
Dairy products are moving OF fairly well,
| but values have very weak tone Creamery
Butter is selling slowly. and the quotations
are being occasionally shaded. Ranch Eggs
are plentiful and cheaper. Poultry is in heavy
supply and sales are small, with prices very
weak.
