COMMERCIAL.
Business in Wheat Slow, With Prices
Tending Downward.
The Butter Market Still In Weak
State, Caused Principally by
Lessened Demand.
San FRANCISCO. Dec. 18th.

San f6ANO1SCO, LEU L I ILL
Business in Wheat is slow, both on and OF
call, and the market is duh, with prices tend
ing downward Barley moves slowly at IN
changed prices: choice feed is scarce. The
situation in oats and Corn is unchanged
prices are not disturbed; fair demand Tor
Oats and very little call for Corn. Rye is
quiet and uninteresting. No Buckwheat
changing hands st present; 200 sacks III TO-
day.
The Potato market is about steady, and
prices are unchanged. String Beans are
again lower. The Vegetable line generally. Is
inactive.
There is nothing particularly attractive
shout the Fruit market and business to-day
was slow. The few Pears now here cut but a
small figure, aud are hardly worth quoting
Oranges show no new features market well
supplied and steady.
Though Butter prices are not actually lower.
the market is still in weak state; the guam
tity arriving and on hand is not the cause SO
much as the lessened demand; packed de-
scrptionS are running lows Cheese prices
hold up well under u steady inquiry. Eggs
snow no change IN price, but csc is an eA-
tTeme for cash.
A car OF Eastern Poultry is on the market
and is selling lively at $500 so for hens,
S495 90 Tor ROSTERS, 80 oOG4 Tor Iryers ana
brollers. California stock moved slowly, eN-
cepting Turkeys, which did little better.
Game was again heavy, and sold slowly at
lower prices.
