The Wheat Market at San Francisco
Continues to Soften.
Little Doing IN Barley-The Oak Mar
ket Sluggish, With Prices
Easy.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 18th.

SAN FRANCISCO, December ! 9Th.
The Wheat market continues to soften and
the advantage is altogether on the side OF
BUYERS shipping Wheat to-day is not quot
able at over SS$Zc for No. 1 quality, while 9Oc
q ctl is a full figure for choice. Milling
descriptions are less firm, though quotations
are unchanged. Supplies are coming 10 hand
freely from the North, about 10000 ctls ar
irving to-day from that direction, being al
most equally divided between Oregon and
Washington. Receipts of California Wheat
were less than 3, ZOO ctls.
There is SO little doing in Barley that it is
difficult to give quotations from actual sales.
For two days there were no transactions in
the Call Board and business In the regular
way has been almost equally dull.
Dealers report a sluggish Dat market, with
prices easy.
The Vegetable market is slow and sellers
complain of light trade in all lines. Onions
have weaker tone. Potatoes are plentiful
and fairly active. Tomatoes are cleaning up.
The Berry market is hardly worth quoting
and receipts are light. Oranges keep piling
up, but the movement in them is light.
Choice Apples are firm and moderately
active.
The Poultry market is clogged with heavy
receipts and prices are weak. Turkeys are
down. Game came In light to-day.
The market for Dairy Produce is unchanged
IN many respects. Stocks are ample IN all
lines.
