COMMERCIAL.
No Change in the Situation in the
Wheat Market at San Francisco.
Trade Fairly Active in Produce Cir
c1es-Eggs In Good Supply
and Sales Large.

San Francisco, February 10th.
There was no change in the local Wheat
market yesterday, except, perhaps, an in
creased tendency toward a lower range OF
values. The offerings of spot grain con-
tinues very small, and in consequence the
transactions in the sample market are of
extremely small proportions. There was
a vessel laden with Wheat cleared for
Cape Town, South Africa, yesterday, and
there is some inquiry for more grain for
that port Holders are so determined in
their stand for higher prices than ship
pers are now offering that it is doubtful II
any great quantity could be bought in this
market Exporters have drawn so heav-
lily on the piles in Call Board warehouses
that the stocks on hand on the first of
next month will probably show the small
est totals in some years past. The ex-
ports for this month will be considerably
less than during January. unless the out
ward movement develops more actively
very soon. Freights are held quite steady,
and there is but little doing.
In the local Produce market trade was
fairly active yesterday, and aside from
two or three changes in Vegetables, there
was no material differences as compared
with the preceding day. Supplies OF
Oranges continue heavy, but the bulk of
offerings are of medium and inferior
grades, which sell slowly at variable rates;
Apples are moving off we'll and the in
quiry yesterday was quite active for a
time There was no change in prices,
however. Dried Fruits show no change in
trade conditions. Even the recent ship
ments from Santa Clara Valley show a
decrease during the past few days. Deal
ers look for better market for Prunes
ard Raisins next month. Receipts of
Honey are moderate, and trading is very
light.
The demand for Creamery Butter con-
tlnues active, and as receipts are just
about evenly pfoportioned to the demand
prices are held firmly at the quoted rates.
Eggs are in good supply, and sales are
large. Prices show considerable frmness
at the recent advance. Cheese is arriving
slowly, and prices are held well in hand.
POULTRY is coming to hand freely, but the
demand is light, and even the low rates
are being shaded. Groceries and Provis-
ions are steady. Mining stocks are very
dull.
