COMMERCIAL.
Arrivals From the North Lessening
Demand for California Wheat.
Trade in Barley Very Slim, the Few
Transactions Made Being OF
Small Proportions.
san FRANCISCO, December 18th.


There is more or less doing IN Wheat ship
ping account. Much Wheat is arriving from
the northern country, and a considerable
amount of such stock is coming down TO or
der for export purposes, thus lessening the
demand tor the California article.
Business in Barley is very slim, while the
few transactions being made are of small
proportions. Buyers are not much inclined
to purchase heavily, in view of the prevailing
rain. Speculation Is almost quiet at the mo-
ment.
Stocks of Oats are large, and the situation
Is against sellers. Over 5000 centals came
down from Washington this morning, in
creasing the supplies 10 that extent.
business in the Vegetable market is
slower than ever, and prices are weak. Heavy
arrivals OF Potatoes are reported. Onions are
weak
The Citrus Fruit market is weak at quota
tions. Berries are scarce. New Dates are
offered. Choice Apples command ready
sale.
The market for Dairy Products shows few
changes. Stocks are ample and the demand
moderate.
The Poultry market is weak, especially for
Turkeys, which are drug. Game Is very
plentiful and cheap.
