COMMERCIAL.
WHEAT, BOTH SPOT AND FU-
TURES, ADVANCED.
BARLEY Offerings Light, as is Also the
Demand-Oat Prices Show
But Little Change.

San Francisco, Dec. 21st.
Tnere have been no changes in Flour for
some time past; the market is fairly ac-
i've; the China steamer took a larger
quantity on the last trip than she has of
late. In Wheat both spot and futures are
advanced, but there is not much activity
IN either. Barley offerings are light, as is
also the demand; prices show no changes.
1he volume of business transacted in Oats
OF late has not been very large and prices
nave shown but slight changes.
The market is flooded with Apples, and
the holiday demand has not as yet mater
ialized. Prices are easy, and unless the de-
mand picks up there is probability of
lower figures. Fair movement in Nuts and
full assortments on hand; prices are a
shade lower. Mandarin Oranges are firmly
held, but California stock is weak.
Fancy Creamery is lower, as also picked
Butter, but other kinds are unchanged;
the demand has improved somewhat.
moving readily and the situation is not at
all encouraging; no changes, but lower
figures are not far of.
