WHEAT FAIRLY ACTIVE AT AN
ADVANCE in PRICES.
Fair Trading in Feed Barley, But
Brewing Very Quiet - Oat
Prices Rule Firm.
San Francisco, Dec. Sd.

San Francisco Dec. Sd.
Wheat has advanced, actuated by sharp
advances at Chicago; spot offerings are
more liberal and business fairly active. NO
changes in Barley; fair trading in feed,
but Brewing is very quiet. Oats are quiet,
though prices rule firm as previously
quoted; receipts were light. Corn in lib
eral supply and dull; no changes, but
prices are weak. Nothing much doing in
rye; our outside figure is extreme.
There is such slow sale for Grapes and
prices obtained are so uncertain that grow
ers would benefit by not sending them in.
They drag along from day to day and are
soft and wet. There appears to be enough
Apples in the market at present to supply
the demand for a week or two without fresh
arrivals; the market is weak and some in
barrels sell for less than the inside quota
ton. Only chests of Strawberries ar
rived to-day, but they did not sell. The
cool weather continues to retard the sale
of Oranges, yet they do fairly well. Grape
Fruit is lower.
Receipts of Butter from Marin County
are increasing and the Humboldt section is
letting up somewhat. No changes in prices,
with the same easy feeling that has al
ready been noted. The good prices are
sending Cheese in a little more freely, yet
not too heavily, and prices are sustained.
There are a good many Eastern Eggs
here and on the way, and California are
also arriving more freely; the situation,
generally, favors easier prices.
