The Week Closes on a Quiet Wheat
Market at San Francisco.
Demand for Nearly All Lines of Pro.
duce Light, Values Not Being
Well Sustained.
SAN FRANCISCO. December 9th.


The local Wheat market was quiet yester-
day. as compared with the preceding days
volume Of trade. In the sample market the
offerings were liberal, but the buying element
was very backward, evidently waiting with
the expectation that as soon as the Call Board
furry has subsided the price for shipping
grades would be cheaper. In the Call Board
yesterday morning the attempt TO advance
prices was not successful, and il was about all
the bull element could do to sustain the clos
ing prices of the preceding day. May Barley
was advanced during the regular morning
session, bnt it is doubtful if the upward turn
has any more basis than the speculative tone
now prevailing.
Ihe demand for nearly all descriptions of
Produce was comparatively light yesterday
and values were not very well sustained.
Oranges are in moderate supply, but the
inquiry cannot be called active. One carload
arrived yesterday and another is due to-mor-
row from PortervilIe. Navels are a shade
easier. but Seedlings remain fairly steady at
the low figures quoted. Mexican Lines are
held steady, but sales are rather slow. Choice
Apples are moving Off little better than a
week ago, but prices are weak. Berries are
becoming scarce, but there is scarcely any de
mand. Cranberries are higher and held
firmly.
Vegetables are in good supply and generally
low-priced.
tion being unfavorable for sellers.
Dairy Products are selling quite well, but
values are not steady. Creamery Butter is
weaker and Eggs are being shaded occa-
siona!ly. Turkeys are held steady, but Poul-
Lryis generally dull.
