COMMERCIAL.
Wheat Market at San Francisco Dull
and Depressed.
Marked Decrease In the Receipts of
Potatoes, and in Consequence
Prices Are Firmer.
San FRANCIsCo. Dec. l5th.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18th
Flour is steady at old prices. The Wheat
market is dull and depressed; business on
and off call is slow; a cargo Of over 5000
centals down from Port Costa. Barley Is
quiet, steady and not much offering; among
yesterdays receipts were over 103,ooo cen
tails from Port Costa; cargo of 17,3o9 cen
tails Chevalier and 3d. centals brewing
was cleared yesterday for Scotland. OATS
were unchanged and the market firmi re-
ceipts were $500 centals, mostly from Ore
gon.
There has been marked decrease in the re-
ceipts of potatoes during the past week, ana
IS result dealers have been enabled to MAKE
quite good cleanup of accumulated sup
plies, while at the same time impartlng de-
cidedly frmer tone to the market. The pres
ent supplies on hand are comparatively light,
but there is no probability OF a scarcity Al
this period of the year this market is usually
called upon to furnish supplies for the south
ern coast, and this demand may be expected
to begin almost any day now. As soon as II
gets well underway, steady prices ana an I'M
proved trade may be looked for mere. Salinas
STOCK is being received rather Slowly, puI the
quality is good and values are well sustained
Recent receipts of oregon varieties have MOI
been up to standard, and prices are shaoe
scarce, and prices are higher and firm.
Supplies of Dried Fruits continue LIBERIA
and sales are rather slow. There is quite
quantity OF different grades Offering, an0
while strictly choice lots are held firmly, 1t Is
difficult to Fix standard of value on me
dunn grades. The demand for export is lignl
Tor the time being.
In the local Produce markets yesterday the
conditions were about the same as on the pre-
ceding day, except perhaps, the demand was
a tribe lighter. Sales OF Fresh Fruits were
TAI eX tens ii Va nn fhara =
in prices. Three carloads OF Oranges came &c
hand, and under a moderate inquiry supplies
were ample. Choice Grapes are held a little
more firmly. Apples are selling slowly
Butter supplies continue well propor1oned
10 the demand, and prices are still rather
easy. Ranch Eggs are steady. Poultry Is
dull, but steady.
