San FRANClSCO, Dec. ~ou.
Very little doing in spot Wheat and prices
are steady; speculative business is also SLOW;
milling Wheat is quite firm. There were
three Wheat vessels cleared on Saturday,
taking Ice, ,s7S centals, valued at S17o, IA s.;
one of them is destined TOR Cape Town, Africa.
Barley is quiet, with a slight advance Tor
choice feed. There were liberal receipts OF
Oats to-day; prices rule firm, with rather
light trading.
Apples are arriving in large quantities, and
stocks on hand are very heavy, but sales are
not what they should be. Grapes did little
better. The Orange market is steady; stocks
are not particularly heavy. There is some
what improved demand for Nuts Dried
Fruits are quiet and unchanged.
There is slightly better feeling In Butter,
though the market is still weak. Cheese is
firm, and Eggs were fairly steady at previous
prices.
The Poultry market presents a busy scene.
Between yesterday and to-day there were
about 900 tons of dressed Turkeys received in
this market and rapid sales are the order OF
the day at advanced prices. Live turkeys
also were higher and in good demand. Other
Poultry was in light supply, but in good de-
mand. Game was neglected and lower, gen.
orally.
