San Francisco, February 9th.
Trade in the local Wheat market yester-
day was of small proportions, and in the
Call Board the figures on futures for both
May and December were downward IN
tendency for the day. The volume of
transactions was light, mainly because
there was an apparent desire on the part
of holders to keep what they have, while
sellers preferred to hold back until to-
morrow in the hope that values would be
higher. While prices on futures We're
fraction lower yesterday. the spot market
was unchanged, and the demand on the
part Of exporters continues as active as
ever. There is some inquiry for milling
grades, but the available supplies are linn
ited and held in few hands at higher
prices than millers choose to pay just
now At Stockton and some other interior
places it is stated that the millers are TAX
ing everything and occasionally paying
higher pro rata price than San francisco
figures. Flour is held very firmly at the
recent advance. All varieties OF Barley
are moving off more readily, and extra
choice lots are bringing full figures.
In the local Produce markets sales yes
terday were fairly extensive, and there
We're few changes IN quotations Fresh
Fruits met with an improved demand
yesterday, and prices were sustained bet
ter than for several Q1yS previous. Choice
Oranges are scarce, ana bring full figures,
while the frosted stock IS abundant and
sells at variable rates. There IS almost
nothing doing in Dried Fruits, and while
all strictly choice stock is held for full
prices, there is considerable offering at
shaded rates. CT samery Butter is in good
demand, and pr ceS are well sustained.
Eggs are abuno ant, but under good
quoted. Poultry is weaker, owing to the
arrival of Eastern stock Groceries and
Provisions are held steady.
