Easy Than Otherwise.
SAN FRANCISCO, March I'd.
For the past two days the sample Wheat
market has shown better tone, and the lmme-
diate outlook seems more promising than IN
some little while. At thesa time there mas
been no improvement in prices worthy OF
note. though indications generally point in
favor of the selling interest. Dealers con-
slider the situation as hopeful in character,
believing that bottom figures have been
touched Tor the present. The week has wit
messed some lively trading IN speculative cir
cles, and business in the Call Board arena has
been of large volume at prices sufficiently
fiuctuating to satisfy the bulk of operators.
Barley prices do not move in accoI oIdance
with the expectation OF holders. Stocks iH
local warehouses decreased considerably DUR
ing the past month, and 1t was believed that
the knowledge of this fact would stimulate
trade and strengthen values, But the market
shows very little life, while quotations are
rather easy than otherwise.
Supplies of Oats continue liberal. while
trade is slow and stocks are still accumuat-
ing Prices. under the circumstances, are
necessarily weak.
The Vegetable market is very dull and re-
ceipts are stnl below the average. Potatoes
are Weak. Onions hold nrnl.
The market for fresh fruit is unchanged,
with the exception OF still further weakness
in Lines. GOOD Apples are scarce ana IN
fair demand.
The changes in dairy produce are limited to
a decline III the finer grades OF Butter. kanch
Eggs are easier.
The poultry market is quiet and prices are
steady. Game Is now limited 10 lew WlId
geese, rabbits and hare.
