Better Outlook for the Future in the
Wheat Market.
steadier Feeling Developing in Barley.
With Prospects of Healthier
Tone to Prices This Week.
SAN FRANCISCO, December I'd.


The Wheat market continues to gain
strength under more encouraging advices
from England, where stocks on hand show
marked decrease. The promise is favorable
for greater activity in trade in the near future,
and possibly further advancement of prices.
In the Call Board yesterday there was lively
trading in futures, an advance of about &c p
cu being established. Milling descriptions
are higher.
a steadier feeling seems 10 be developing in
Barley, and it is not unlikely that prices viii
show better tone the prese Mt week. The de-
mand for Oats keeps up fairly well, but values
do not improve, as offerings are large.
The Vegetable market shows few changes,
and business is dull. Arrivals of Potatoes
continue of liberal proportions, and prices
are easy. Onions rule firm.
The Butter market is easy, and the tendency
of prices is downward. Eggs are more plenti-
full, but prices are firm. In poultry Turkeys
are cleaning up at low prices. Other stock is
plentiful and cheap. Game is in large supply.
