COMMERCIAL.
The Wheat Market Seems to Have a
Healthier Appearance.
The Barley Situation Not Specially
Encouraging for Sellers, Prices
Having Weak Tone.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 10th.
The Wheat market seemed to have
healthier appearance to-day, though there was
no actual improvement in business and no
positive change for the better in prices. At
the same time, matters looked more promis-
ing for sellers than at any period this week.
A little stimulation, both in trade and values,
just now would have beneficial influence on
the situation. The Barley situation does not
look specially encouraging for sellers. The
volume of trade shows no marked diminu-
tions but there is a goodly array of offerings.
and, SO long as holders are willing sellers,
there is not much probability of prices ad-
vancing At the mome ut values have rather
a weak tone than otherwise.
The Commercial Nel0s sums up the Hop sit
uation thus: '"rhe English market is cabled
firm, with an upward tendency that has not
yet man Tested itself in an advance in prices.
The Continent is firm, with an active demand
which borders on excitement, as short sellers
realize that il is not possible to fill their con-
tracts. With these facts in view, the Eastern
markets are firm, with 23c said to have been
paid for choice New York. Locally, inactivity
is the rule, with prices just about as last
quoted. The export demand has been light,
shipments for the week having been but 3o1
pounds"
The vegetable market is steady and dull.
Potatoes are unchanged. Onions are IN good
demand.
There is nothing new in Fresh Fruits. Busi-
ness is dull and weak.
Butter and Eggs are steady under light de-
mand. Cheese is firm.
The poultry market is little firmer and
stock cleans up better. Game is in moderate
demand.
