SAN FRANCISCO, January 22d.
The Wheat market does not have promiS-
ing appearance and sellers are at a disad
vantage. Foreign centers are reported as be-
ing of easy character, and local exporters do
not feel encouraged to do much in the way of
prompt shipping. At the moment $3.50 q ctl.

Wheat, while something extra would proba-
bly, bring Soc. In milling grades there is no
heavy business just at present, though sales
are being made within range of S71a992Ic
r ctI.
sample business in Barley is Of very mOder-
ate proportions, while prices remain steady,
without being buoyant. Considerable Barley
is said to be stored in warehouse against Call
Board contracts, so that spot offerings of do
mestlc product are not of large magnitude. At
the same time there is a goodly supply of both
Oregon and Washington Barley. The weather
Is becoming q rather more important factor
in the situation. Incessant rain has operated
against planting, and farmers in some sec
tons are likely to become nervous about the
new crop, unless there soon be cessation OF
the storm which is generally prevailing.
Receipts of oats are falling oil, but this cir
cumStance has not affected values. There are
offerings large enough to meet all reasonable
demands, and until stocks are materially low
cred 1t is not likely that prices will show any
great change for the better.
onions were higher. Potatoes steady.
Negeta bles and fresh fruits unchanged and
dull. Butter strengthening under light sup
plies. Eggs weak. Poultry in hight demand
and steady. Game is easier again.
