BOTH SPOT AND FUTURE WHEAT
HIGHER.
Barley Continues Quiet, Both on and
Off CaIl-Better Trading
in Oats.

San Francisco, Dec. Goth.
A better Chicago market has put some
life into the local Wheat market, and
both spot and futures are higher. Barley
continues quiet, both on and off call; the
small amount of choice bright feed offer
ing is firmly held at the quotations
Slightly better trading in Oats, but no
changes in prices. Weakness character
ICES the Corn market and prices have a
Still lower tendency.
Only few choice Navel Oranges are
wanted; others drag. Apples are prac-
tically at a standstill. CranberrieS are
lower in barrels; no more boxes from
Oregon on the market. Too much Grape
Fruit Offering and prices have again de-
clined; demand very light. Mandarin Or
anges are in liberal supply, weak and
lower.
No change in the Butter situation; best
grades continue steady and off grades
weak. Cheese firm, with light stocks or
new and plenty of old. Eggs are nfmer,
both for native and Eastern; store are
rather scarce and ranch are none too plen-
tiful; sales OF ranch at &c and store at
&c.
