COMMERCIAL.
Steady Tone Both in the Wheat and
Barley Market.
Receipts of Poultry Moderate = Fruit
Market Dull-Butter and
Eggs Weak.
san FRANcIsco, january / 8th.

quotations in informal session showed a
steady tone in both Wheat and Barley. The
Eastern markets were lower, owing to dread
that the anti-option bill would become law,
and the foreign markets were dull.
The receipts OF Poultry are moderate. with
the demand light for the general run Of stock.
Game Of all kinds comes in plentifully. and
prices are lower again for Ducks OF all kinds.
The Fruit market is dull, and choice Apples
and Pears alone command much attention
from buyers. Oranges of all kinds are very
plentiful, with a weaker tendency IN prices
Dried Fruit is in good supply and firmly held
with q stronger tone in special varieties of
evaporated Apples.
In the market for dairy produce only the
very fancy grades of Butter show any firm
ness. Ordinary descriptions go at buyers
offers to a great extent, with heavy feeling
at that Eggs are weak for all descriptions,
with store Eggs favored by buyers. Cheese of
the better grades is firm and moderately act
i've.
The Vegetable market is quiet, with prices
unchanged. The demand for Potatoes has
been checked by the advance in prices, and
this in turn has caused a falling off in re-
ceipts, which has helped to steady the mar
ket. Choice onions are firm and steady ut
quotations New Vegetables are scarce ana
prices hold firm.
