tremely Scarce.

San FRA NC1CGOt Dec. oISb.
Flour is quite firm at previous prices
Wheat was further advanced and the market
il strong; another cargo of 43,230 csntals
down from Port Costa for export. Barley is
very firm for feed and extremely scarce.
Yellow Corn is advanced, but white remains
unchanged.
Slow sale for all Fruits The holiday trade
was a decided failure this year. The cold
weather Is unfavorable for Oranges, and
prices are somewhat lower.
The weather favors Butter and Eggs, and
the market is quite steady; fancy rolls are
higher, as also store and ranch Eggs. There
is a good call for Butter, and not great deal
Is being carried over: small sales OF fancy
creamery are reported at 25e.
Turkeys are weaker and lower. The East
ern Poultry is well cleaned up and California
stock is stronger, although receipts were
rather light Game was very heavy to-day,
173 SACKS being the mornings receipts, and
solo slowly.
