Prospects Not Favorable for Any
Change in the Wheat Market.
The Outlook in the Barley Situation
More Promising-Fairly Brisk
Movement in Oats.
SAX FRANcIsco, January 10th


The Wheat market has been dragging more
or less for the last two weeks, and the pros
pect is not favorable for any change for the
better during the coming week. shippers are
not buying anything, and their inaction o
course tends TO create a feeling of discourage
ment. In speculative circles there Is moderate
activity. but operations in the Call Board dc
not stimulate export trade. Prices are low
enough it would seem, to invite liberal buy
ing on the part of shippers, but the situation
abroad does not justify local exporters III pur-
chasing largely.
The Barley market is somewhat sensitive
During the closing days of last week quite a
firm tone developed in values, which was
partly attributed to dry weather But the
rain of Monday changed the situation. No
body wanted to buy, while sellers were more
than disposed to accept reduced figures. With
the return of sunshine, however confidence
is again asserted, and, at the moment, the
outlook is rather promising, than otherwise,
1Ot sellers. Offerings OF Oats are Oh Ialf pro-
portions, though the amount OF strictly cholce
stock is comparatively small. There Is fairy
brisk movement, and the outlook Is generaIly y
considered promising for both trade and
values.
The Vegetable market opened weak to-day.
No Rhubarb or Asparagus arrived. Green
Peas and String Beans were higher. Potatoes
are weak. onions are steady.
IEe sales OF Fresh fraits are limited IN the
extreme and prices are low all around
Oranges are in heavy supply, but clean up
well at auction, three carloads being disposed
OF yesterday.
There were no changes reported in Butter.
Ali grades are weak and IN heavy supply
ggs have u irmer tone, and the market is IN
better shape. Cheese is firm.
The heavy receipts OF Eastern Poultry nave
had a demoralizing effect upon the market,
and prices are lower. Game is in light de-
mand and receipts are poor.
