COMMERCIAL.
BOTH SPOT AND FUTURE WHEAT
ADVANCED.
The Barley Market Quite Steady
Only Light Trading i'm Oats, and
Prices Unchanged.
San Francisco. Dec. 18th.


A better feeling at Chicago has stimula-
ted the local Wheat market, and both spot
ana futures are advanced; receipts to-day
footed up 90, 045 centals from all sources, of
which nearly 10000 are for export. De-
spite the wet weather, which usually de-
presses the Barley market, that cereal is
quite steady, both on and off call: OPP
tions show slight improvement over yes
terday. Only light trading in oats and
Corn, and prices are unchanged; not
much activity is expected for few weeks
to come.
Trading was light for Saturday, but the
poor weather is accountable for that Not
many Grapes coming in, but still more
than there is sale for. The market is plen-
tifully supplied with Apples, but prices
are sustained; in barrels only strictly
fancy bring our outside figure. The last
lot of Mandarin Oranges are not yet on
the market California Seedlings are
weaker
Butter continues to arrive freely and
the market is weak, particularly on Dair-
les. Eggs are weak on ranch and fairly
steady on store; the inquiry for the latter
is better than for the former. Stocks of
Eggs on hand are less than they were at
this time last year.
