Steadily Advancing.
sAN FRANCIsCO. Jan. 22d.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22d.
Flour is firm at yesterdays advance. There
Is good, strong feeling to the Wheat market.
Futures have been steadily advancing for she
past few days and the spot market is firm,
though not active. The foreign demand is
quite brisk: two Wheat ships cleared yester-
day, one for Europe and one for Australia A
cargo Of 66, 1856 centals down from Port Costa
to-day for export. Barley is firm under light
offerings and a slightly improved demand;
721Sc is asked for choice feed; cargo Of
brewing was cleared yesterday for Europe;
26.33O centals came down to-day from Port
Costa for shipping. Oats are firm and un-
changed; II, ,155 centala were received to-day
from Washington. No Corn in; trade is light;
market inactive and firm. Hardly anything
doing in Rye and Buckwheat.
Potato market remains steady and Onions
are strong at unchanged prices. Mushrooms
are still plentiful and lind slow sale, except
for choice buttons Not enough String Beans
In market to quote. Tomatoes drag some
what and are lower. Good Asparagus sells
readily, but there is considerable small stock
offering that hangs.
trading is not what it should be; Apples from
Northern California bring $l4Sl so. The
market is now well stocked with Oranges, but
sales continue slow and prices are unchanged
No changes IN Dried Fruits and the market
Is exc edingly quiet. Honey moves along
steadily.
Butter is steady: business seems to be OF a
hand-to-mouth character; buyers are holding
of for lower figures. Eggs are a trltle weaker
everybody wants TO sell. but buyers are not
plentiful; Ranch Eggs move very slowly the
market for Eastern IS pretty Well cleaned up
The fact OF three cars OF Eastern Poultry
being on the market and another in sight has
made the market for California stock rather
dull The Eastern brought 5000 for hens,
50 5000 for young roosters and S495 for
a i1n aufrN
is In better condition, there is stu consider
able arriving that is hardly saleable.
