COMMERCIAL.
The Wheat Situation Weak, With No
Prospects of Improvement.
But Few Sales Being Manifested In
Barley-Oferings OF Oats Liberal,
While Buying is Light.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 10th

SAN FRANCISCO, February 9th
The Wheat market is not doing any better
Spot buyers are hard to find just now, and
trade is therefore of slow order. No. ship
ping Wheat is not quotabie over 9Oc . ctl to-
day, though a choice lot might bring 91Hc to
92%c. The situation is weak, and prospects
are not favorable for any sudden improve
ment. In speculative circles there is active
business at sufficient variations in prices to
create more than usual interest among Call
Board operators There are but very few
sales being negotiated just at the moment in
Barley, and these are of small magnitude.
Prices are kept fairly in position mainly be-
cause there is no marked selling pressure.
Offerings of oats are liberal, while buying is
light. Under such circumstances prices show
no strength.
The Vegetable market is dull, with a light
demand and fair changes in prices. Onions
rule firm, and Potatoes are steady. Tomatoes
are higher.
There are no changes in fresh fruits, and bus
mess is dull. Choice varieties of Apples are
in fair demand.
The Butter market is steady for creamery,
with a light decline in dairy stocks. Eggs are
quiet at quotations.
Tne Poultry market is still weak, with aadi-
tional arrivals OF Eastern stock. Game Is
steady.
