An Advance in Flour of Twenty-Five
Cents Per Barrel.
Wheat Lower, Both in the Speculative
and spot Markets-Barley
Quiet and Steady.
San Francisco. February 4th.

Inc anticipated ADVANCE III IDuI has
come In the shape Of an advance for all
kinds of 25c per barrel. Wheat at Chi
cago took quite tumble to-day and the
local market follawed; both the specula-
tive and spot markets are lower Barley
is quiet and steady at the advance. oats
are dull at the recent decline.
The Potato and Onion markets are both
rather weak; there are plenty on hand,
and considerable more to arrive shortly.
Sweet Potatoes are scarce. Tomatoes did
better, but receipts are small Natural
Asparagus is beginning TO arrive more
freely: a small lot was to-day received
from San lose; also some from Alameda,
which brought 35c per 10.
There appears to be no Improvement in
the Fruit line. either as to price or the de-
mand. Mexican Lines are firm, being
rather scarce.
Butter and Cheese remain at previous
prices The Egg market seems to be in
better shape than for the past week or
two, and there is a disposition to check
the rapid decline that has been going on.
There is no good reason why the market
should be broken, as it has been. The
trouble lies with the small dealers, who,
when they receive a dozen cases or so,
offer them at ridiculously low figure,
thereby giving out the impression that
the market is demoralized. 1t should be
10 the interest of dealers to encourage the
industry as much as possible by good re-
the market, as some are doing.
