Activity Still a Lacking Feature Of
the Wheat Situation.
Samplo Market In Barley Almost Life
Iess-Trading In Oats
Not Brisk.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 5th.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 5th
Activity is still a lacking feature of the
Wheat situation. Two vessels cleared yester-
day with full cargoes for Great Britain, being
the first shipments in that direction since the
gath of last month. The quantity of stock
Offering is still somewhat small, though quite
enough to meet the requirements of export
ers. Prices are steady, but not strong.
Business OF late has been so small and slow
that the sample Barley market has been al
most lifeless, while prices have inclined
against sellers. In the speculative market
Ihere has been no pronounced activity, and
the SITUATION generally has partaken of un-
satisfactory character. To-day, however,
there was a little better business in the Call
Board, with firmer tone to prices. Possibly
the market may pick up and some improve
ment develop in both business and values.
Prospects for the new crop are said to be ali
that could be desired, but many contingencies
can arise between now and harvest time.
Trading in Oats is not as brisk most hold
ers would desire. The market continues to
show healthy tone, however, as receipts are
not Of particularly large proportions.
Vegetables and Fresh fruits are very quiet,
with Apples and Oranges in liberal supply.
Dairy produce of all kinds weak. Poul-
try is in heavy receipt and weak. Tomatoes
are scarce. Game is unchanged.
