Trade Slow in Wheat With Poor Pros
poets in Sight.
Tone of the Barley Market Continues
of Soft Character-Little Atten-
tion Given to Oats.
SAN FRANCISCO. December 2sth.


Trade in Wheat is slow and is likely to con-
tinue in that condition for the next week, al
least, al exporters are not anxious to bay to
any extent this side OF the new year. Prices
have run along pretty evenly this week,
though the tendency in the main has been in
favor of buyers. No. l shipping Wheat is
quotable at S6Hc as a top rate, with SIZE foI
choice article. Millers are doing very little
in the way OF purchasing just now. while
quotations for stock adapted for milling uses
remain fairly steady.
The tone of the Barley market remains OF
soft character. There is very little demand in
the regular way just at present, while specu-
lation has almost entirely ceased. The con-
tinued heavy rains have doubtless caused
the exercise of more caution on tie part OF
operators Much Barley is being sent down
from the north. but it is said the quantity is
not uniform, there being a greater or less
mixture of Wheat in some consisnments.
Little attention is being given 10 Oats at the
moment, and dealers do not look for any in
crease in the demand for the next week or 50.
There is goodly array of offerings with dis
position on the part of holders to trade, even
at slight concessions. AS consequence,
prices have easy tendency.
