The Demand for Wheat for Shipping
Purposes Very Light.
The Barley Market Steady. with Good
Tone to Values-Situation IN
Oats in Favor of Sellers.
SAX FRANCISCO, January 9th.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 9th.
Wheat prices have shown more strength
within day or two, without imparting any
activity of consequence to the market. The
demand for shipping purposes is very light,
and whatever improvement there may be IN
the situation is to be attributed largely to
speculative operations in the Call Board.
There is no large array OF offerings OF Barley
on Change, while an absence of selling press
ure is noted. These circumstances tend to
keep the market steady and give good tone TO
values Trade, however, is slow, and period
of activity is very desirable. Now that the
new year is fairly entered, dealers anticipate
more liberal movement in Oats than has pre-
vailed for the past month or so. Stocks are
moderately liberal and tolerably well concen-
trated so that good handling of the market
may be expected. The situation generally in
clines rather in favor of sellers, especially for
stock that is of flrst-cass quality.
There is little doing in Vegetables and re-
ceipts of early varieties are nominal. sharp
advance took place in Sweet Potatoes this
morning, with sales at auctions as high as
81 SO per GENITAL. onions are steady at quo
tations.
The auction sale of Oranges yesterday was
success. Three carloads SOLD at from 65c9
81 80 per box for seedlings, 81 3592 20 for
navels. Some navels from Porterville sold
from 81 1902. Apples are quiet. Grapes are
Both the Butter and Egg markets are very
weak and sales are made from time to time
below quotations. Stocks are heavy and in
creasing. Cheese shows few changes.
The Poultry market is weaker with busi-
ness dull. Game was a drug IN the market
this morning and sales were made In some
instances with difficulty at the lowest quota
tlons.
