COMMERCIAL.
Dullness Continues to Characterize
the Wheat Market.
Choice Onions Move on Well, With a
Firm Tone in Prices-Early
Vegetables Scarce.
SAN Francisco. February sth

all will be wanted before another crop comes
in. The short interest is represented by the
entire holdings in the Northwest and South
west, and it will take big advance to drive
them in. There is also large short interest
existing against sales OF the bull clique in Chi
cago, who are carrying about 100000
bushels of actual stuff. There is no doubt but
that the anti-option bill has had much to 90
with keeping prices down, and it is generally
believed that if this class of trading is killed
in this country that it will have the effect of
building up the business in England in
futures. Wheat opened firm u to IS of a cent
lower in Chicago this morning, with prices
steady here The sales were light only 400
tons OF May changing hands at from 81 By
10 81 31L. The Barley market opened strong,
but broke back at the close. The transac tions
were 800 tons OF May at from S41sG Soc and
900 tons of seller / S93 new at from S21a1
oe5sc. Spot Wheat is steady with lignt
offerings. The English markets were very
weak
The Vegetable market showed few changes
this morning. Potatoes ruled steady with
moderate demand. Choice Onions of all kinds
move off well with a firm tone in prices. Early
vegetables are very scarce, and the range OF
prices was higher this morning. Some Rhu-
barb is again offering. Mushrooms are firmly
held with light arrivals.
The Fresh Fruit market is dull, both in the
local and shipping trade. The demand for
Oranges is checked by the cold weather and
the only sales worth mentioning are in the
better grades of Apples. Lemons OF all kinds
are weak with firmer prices for Mexican
Lines. Dried Fruits are moderately active,
with light stocks on hand.
A carload of Eastern Poultry was placed on
the market to-day, and the sales were fair at
about ruling quotations. California receipts
were light and prices are unchanged. Game
came in moderately and cleaned up well.
Prices are steady except for Hare which are
lower.
The Fresh Butter market rules weak. with
stocks accommodating and dealers holding off
IN anticipation of lower prices, An easy tone
prevails in the market for Eggs OF all kinds
and receipts are liberal. The commoner
grades of Cheese are weaker.
