COMMERCIAL.
Wheat Firmly Held in the San Fran
cisco Market.
Holders Consider the situation Wholly
In Their Favor, and Are Not
Anxious to Sell.
San FRANCISCO. Jan. 18th.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10Th.
Wheat was very firmly held in the local
market yesterday, and the inquiry for export
account was active. Holders, however. con-
slider the situation.wholly in their favor, and
they are not manifesting any anxiety 10 sell,
even at the present advanced rates. The
English market keeps up well, and the ten
dency is slightly upward. while the Eastern
markets are inclined the same way. The
market here, however, is independent of the
trivial trade conditions ruling elsewhere, and
California Wheat-growers are in fair way 10
reap the benefits accruing by reason OF our
favorable position with relation to the Aus
tralasian colonies. Barley is not selling very
freely. but values are well sustained. con-
sidering the rains of the past few days. Stocks
on hand in the State, however. are large.
During the dry weather large quantities were
held ia the interior counties in anticipation
OF a dry season. AS soon prospects appear
favorable for the new crop, dealers expect
very heavy receipts here, and unless the ex-
port demand develops more activity, lower
prices may De looked tor.
In the local Produce market trade was
quiet yesterday, ana prices on nearly all lines
were rather easy. Fresh Fruits are inactive,
and as supplies are accommodating, there Is
some shading OF asking prices. Cnolce FoIa-
toes are moving Oh slowly at quosaelons.
Sweet Potatoes OF gOOu quanGy are scarce,
and bring good figures, while OF grades are
difficult to sell at auy price. There mas Deen
some little inquiry Tor choice Hops at about
506 cents pound, but the sales have been
small few holders Will sell their gooo
stock at those figures. Dried trults are un-
changed; offerings are rather more liberal
than before the holidays but the demand Is
very light Dairy Products are steady, par
ticularIy the best quality OF Creamery Butter
ana new Cheese. Eggs are cheaper. Poultry
