Offerings of Strictly Choice and Bright
Barley Not In Excess of Mar

SAN FRANCISCO, January 23d.
Wheat prices are getting down TO pretty
low basis, and yet nobody seems anxious to
do any liberal buying. To-day No. shipping
Wheat is not quotable at over 81 per ctl, with
the prospects not favorable for any immediate
improvement In fact more than one con-
servative operator is of the opinion that bot
tom has not yet been reached. 1t is TO be
hoped, however, that such surmises may not
prove correct Probably 81 OH could be OBJ
tanned for something of extra choice charac-
ter. but Ii is an extreme rate II the existing
condition of affairs. Milling grades are quot
able at 81 o215 TO 81 .O5 per ctl. though few
holders are inclined TO sell at the lower figure.
OF ordinary feed qualities of Barley there is
moderately good supply, but of lots that can
be strictly classed as choice and bright, the
offerings are certainly not in excess of mar
ket requirements. At the same time the de-
mand all around is slow. and the volume of
business is far from being large. There is reg
ular movement in Oats at steady prices. SUP.
plies are not coming forward with any
marked freedom, but stocks on hand are of
fair magnitude, and they Will likely have to
be materially reduced before any positive adj
vance in values can be established.
The condition OF the Vegetable market was
anything but satisfactory this morning. Busi-
ness was dull, with prices weak. Arrivals OF
green Vegetables were light. Tomatoes are
higher at from 81 90 TO So. Onions are
nrmer. Potatoes steady.
There are no changes in fresh Fruits. The
prices OF Oranges are regulated altogether by
the auction sales held every day or So APP
pies are dull.
Fresh Creamery Butter is firm, with a
scarcity OF all the finer grades. Eggs are do
ing better, and the market is well cleaned up
OF surplus stocks.
The Poultry market is not heavily supplied
with California stocks. shippers holding back
until the arrivals OF Eastern are moderated.
Game is very quiet.
