SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. sth.
The Wheat market was firm yesterday, but
there was disposition to hold back on the
part of both buyers and sellers. The semi
annual statement issued by the Produce Ex-
change showing stocks of Grain remaining
in the State on December 1st was issued yes
terday morning, and 1t was subject LOT
careful study by both operators and Shippers
1t shows about SAT 900 tons of Wheat on
hand and little over 100000 tons OF Bar
ley These figures are as nearly correct as
can possibly be obtained but the fact cannot
be disputed that there is always certain In
visible supply which cannot be enumerated.
This however, cannot be very large. 1t is
probably safe to say that this invisible sup
ply, together with the receipts from Oregon
and Washington during the coming six
months, viii be sufficient to provide for
seeding necessities and home consumption.
If this surmise is correct, the entire 647, 900
tons in the statement would be available Tor
export. The engaged tonnage in port is good
for 10000 tons, and the tonnage listed to
arrive here represents fully 400 900 tons ad-
ditiOnal. 1t will thus be seen that there Will
be an abundance of Wheat vessels and at the
same time there will be no shortage or gram.
In the local Produce markets yesterday the
trade movement was rather slow, but prices
were fairly well sustained. Grapes move OH
moderately well, and some selected stock
brings higher prices. Ordinary Varletles are
dull. Oranges are in fair supply, and the in
Quiry shows some improvement. Prices re-
main steady. Dried Fruits are moving OIL
well, and values maintain good, steady
tone. Receipts are quite large. but not exces-
sve under the present demand. The market
Tor Raisins remains quiet Nuts sell we'll at
steady figures. Dairy Products are plentiful,
but Cheese is the only commodity which
shows any stability in value. Butter and
Eggs are both being shaded to effect sales.
Poultry and Game are steady. The inquiry
for Provisions is active. Mining shares yes
terday were dull.
