San Francisco, Dec. 18th.
An easier feeling prevails in Wheat ;other
markets are weak and local speculative
values have declined, although spot is un-
changed. Barley is dull and rather weak
than otherwise; choice bright feed is
scarce but there is plenty Of ordinary
grade here; options are lower. No
changes in Oats and not much doing. Too
much Eastern Corn coming in and the
market is easier Rye is lower and NOV
ing slowly.
Apples are unchanged; there are more
selling at the low figure than at the high;
the market is literally stocked. There
Were but two cars of Oranges in to-day,
but yesterdays receipts filled the market
and prices are weak; Navels are again
lower. For the past few days there have
been few box Grapes coming in; nearly all
in crates
Weakness still characteriZes the Butter
market sales are slow, owing partly to the
1act that consumers are running pretty
much on Picked Butter. Occasional sales
of Diaries are made at 21c. While the
market is lower on Eggs, 1t is also fairly
active, particularly for store lots.
Poultry market is weak; not much want
ed, occasioned by the poor California stock
sent in and by the fact that there is a fresh
car of Eastern on the market. A few
Hens bring more than our outside figure
and some poor go for less than the inside
figure. Eastern is selling at S5q5 90 for
hens and young Roosters, and 81 so for old
BOOSTERS. Game was lighter than usual
for Tuesday and prices ruled firm OF
the Ducks the heaviest were Sprig.
