WHEAT FUTURES ADVANCED,
BUT NOT VERY ACTIVE.
No Changes In Barley, and Not Much
Doing-Oats Practically at
Standstill.
San Francisco. Dec. 23d.

- bNeICt NnlcaSO market mas otAcA5NA
ened the local wheat market. Futures are
advanced, though not very active. Not
much doing in milling descriptions Ship
ping Wheat is higher, though shippers are
slow to meet the figures. A cargo is
down from Port Costa for export Flour
receipts amounted to 2S, SS4 barrels to-day,
OF which 27,235 are from Port Costa for
Australia. No changes in Barley and not
much doing. Oats are practically at
standstill, as also is Corn. Rye IS neg
iected and weak at lower figures.
While the sale of Apples is fairly good,
the tendency is toward lower prices; quo
tations are not actually lower, but are
hard to obtain. The few Grapes selling
bring more money. Five chests of Straw
berries arrived to-day and brought all
sorts of prices; an average would De
about $500 per chest.
Only strictly Fancy Butter holds it's
own; anything else Is weak. Cheese is
arm; the market Is scantiiy suppleo at
present. Eggs are moving better Tor the
holiday trade, store lots particularly
California Eggs are unchanged, but East
ern are lower.
