THE WHEAT MARKET STEADY
AND UNCHANGED.
Choice Feed Barley Scarce, Though
the Demand is Very Limited
Not Much Call for Oats.

San Francisco, Dec. oath.
wheat Is steady and unchanged; both
spot and speculative markets very quiet.
NO changes in Barley; choice bright feed
continues scarce, and the top prices
would have to be paid; the demand,
though, is very limited. Not much call for
oats, and no change in prices; none ar
rived to-day. Eastern Corn is weaken
Ing the market for the native product, and
the tendency of prices is downward.
For this time of year Apples are not
selling as well as they should and quoted
prices for choice stock are not readily
paid Stocks are more than ample, eX-
cepting possibly, Fancy Reds. Oranges
are are not in very quick demand for hol-
iday uses, and the tendency OF prices is
downward. A couple of chests Of Straw
berries arrived and brought $7GlS per chest
No changes in Butter, and dairies are
particularly weak. Cheese is still very
firm and in light supply; previous prices
stand. Eggs have strengthened; the de-
mand is good and quoted prices are read
lily paid.
