COMMERCIAL.
AN EASIER FEELING IN THE
WHEAT MARKET.
Barley Firm, Especially for Bright
Feed-Not a Great Deal
Doing in Oats.

San Francisco, Jan. 5th.
No changes in spot Wheat, but futures
are a trif1e off; the market has an easier
feeling; two cargoes, amounting to $4,000
centaIs, are down from Port Costa for ex-
port. Barley is quite firm, especially for
bright feed; no changes. Fancy White
Feed Oats are firmer; not a great deal
doing. No corn arrived to-day; the mar
ket is rather weak and our prices are full
! figures. Rye is inactive and weak; no
changes.
| Receipts of Apples to-day were about
! 1,200 boxes of California and five cars of
Eastern in barrels, so that there are more
| than ample stocks on hand. Genuine
Grape Fruit is scarce and advanced; there
| is some stuff resembling Grape Fruit on
the market but it finds no buyers No
Mexican Lines here; fresh lot will be here
! Friday or Saturday, and as the steamer
has not many on board the prices will like
! ~ be high Orange receipts of late have
| been light, and the demand is also light.
The condition of the Butter market is
| very weak on all except Humboldt and
other northern counties; Butter from these
sections brings 2 or 3 cents more than
nearby counties. Packed Butter is also
| weak. An easy feeling prevails in Cheese;
the demand has been pretty well satisfied
| for the time being and the shelves are still
literally supplied. Eggs continue weak,
with further decline for both ranch and
store
