COMMERCIAL.
Better Tone to the Wheat Market at
San Francisco.
Trade in Barley Slow, the Demand Be-
ing Limited. Though Prices
Keep Steady.
SAN FRANCISCO. February 23d.

There was a better tone to the Wheat market
to-day, with q trlfle more frmness in prices,
though the volume of spot trading is still of
comparatively small proportions. Business
in Barley is of rather slow order, the demand
being quite limited at the moment Prices,
however, keep fairly steady. There is no i'm
provement in the Oat market. Stocks are yet
of large magnitude, and brisk trading is
wanted to make any very marked inroad on
the quantity now in first hands. Prices easy.
The Vegetable market is poorly supplied
with early varieties, and prices are weak. The
Potato market is quiet. Onions are in light
receipt and firm.
There are no changes in the market for
Fresh Fruits. Business is dull and prices are
weak in all varieties OF Apples and sales of
Oranges are slow.
The supplies OF butter continue more liberal
and prices have a weak tone. Eggs are very
plentiful and prices are easy under fair de-
mand.
and prices are weak under poor demand tor
tor all kinds OF stock. Game is nearly fin
ished Tor this season.
