SAN FRANCISCO, January 9TH.
Trade in Wheat is Of oflimited proportions.
There was little better feeling in the market
to-day with steadier tone to values, though
not pronounced enough to cause any positive
change in quotations. In speculative circles
more activity is beginning to develop, with
marked advance in May Wheat, which option
jumped up TO &c a ctl from the opening to the
closing sale this morning. The same quiet
ness exists in the Barley market that has
prevailed for some time past. Dealers, how
ever, look for better trade III the near future.
Trade in Oats is up TO expectations, and deal
ers are well satisfied at the outlook which Is
deemed promising.
In relation to the Hop situation the Com
n1ercjat Ne1cs says: --latest reports from the
East are much more favorable to the Eolder,
there being an improved demand for export
and regular delivery to brewers on contract,
which provides for most of the choice grades
reaching distributing points, and limits the
available stocks in great measure to un-
desirable qualities. Locally, the holiday
heaviness is yet the leading feature of the
situation, the demand being limited, while
holders are still diSin lined 10 make conceS-
SONS, especially since the statistical showing
| is IN their favor. In the north the market re-
| mains quiet, with small sales OF choice Wash
ingtOn at &C, although holders do not q
rule ask above 17c y fb.''
There Is no change in Vegetables and busi-
ness is dull. Sweet Potatoes show some
fluctuations. Garlic is firm. Onions are un-
changed.
The movement in Fresh Fruits is light and
prices are weak. Oranges VIII be auctiOned
of after Monday next Red Apples are in
good demand.
The market tor Dairy produce is weak at
decline. with no changes in quotations.
Stocks of both Butter and Eggs are large.
There is nothing new in Poultry. There is a
moderate demand with prices steady. Game
| is unchanged
