Steady Tone in the Wheat and Barley
Markets at San Francisco.
Heavy Stocks of Butter and Eggs in
Market and Prices Weak
Poultry Steady.
sAx FRANcIsco, February eth.


change this morning, with a steady lone in
Wheat on the strength OF more favorable ad-
vices from abroad. The bull feeling among
operators is not, however, as strong as might
be wished with u view to more activity in the
market, and even the opposite factions are
not conspicuous by venturesome trading.
The slow outward movement OF surplus stock
and the prospects for heavy crop next sea-
son is not calculated to strengthen prices.
The total sales OF Wheat were 600 tons of
May at from 81 2214 to 81 321l. The Barley
market holds fairly steady The receipts in
January were 6s, ,o4O centals, against 49,
Oo7 centals in the same month last year. The
sales this morning were 800 tons of May at
sage.
The Vegetable Market opened quiet this
morning, with business dull. Prices as a
rule were unchanged, with light arrivals of
early varieties. Potatoes We're steady under
O fair demand. Choice Onions hold firm,
Tomatoes are quoted with wide range, and
the bulk Of the stock on hand is unstable.
Peas, String Beans and Green Peppers are
Offering in small quantities.
The Fresh Fruit market is very duh, with
heavy arrivals of Oranges from the south.
lot OF miscellaneous stock OF Apples comes
in from the north, and choice varieties sell
well. Mexican Lines are firm, rs the late ar
rivals We're considerably reduced by repack-
ing. California Lemons are steady, with
moderate supplies.
There was no cnange to report to-day in the
Fresh Butter market. Stocks are heavy,
notwithstanding outside shipments. The re-
ceipts OF Eggs continue ana prices rule weak,
with marked depression in trade. Good
mild new Cheese is active with prices ruling
firm.
