Fair Demand for Shipping Wheat at
San Francisco.
The Volume of Business in the Barley
Market Not Very Great-Trans-
actions in Oats Limited.
SAN FRANCISCO. February 2sth.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 26th.
Trade in Wheat has been moving along
slowly for a week past without any marked
fluctuations in prices. The demand for ship
ping purposes is fair, without being particu-
larly positive, and about all offerings of desir
able character find ready custom. p rices to-
day were a little steadier, while the general
outlook of the situation seemed more favora-
bic for the selling interest. In speculative
circles there is considerable activity, with
prices in futures tending upward.
Ordinary feed descriptions of Barley show
no special strength in price, transactions be-
ing few and of limited proportions Brewing
qualities are somewhat steadily held, though
there is no business of any magnitude in
progress.
The Oat market presents no particular &C
tivity. OF course, there is more or less call
every day to satisfy current wants, but there
is no desire to stock up much ahead. Conse-
queEtly. the volume of business is not very
great. Black Oats have been lowered within
a few days, but no other changes in prices
have occurred.
The Produce markets are dull. Potatoes
and Onions in heavy receipt. Heavy ship
ments of California Eggs East. Poultry weak
Game poor. Butter and Cheese plentiful and
weak. Asparagus arriving more freely and
lower. Citrus Fruits dull.
