THE SPECULATIVE WHEAT MAR
KET STRONGER.
Barley Easy at the Quotations, Which
Are Unchanged - Trading in
Oats Rather Slow.

San Francisco, Jan. 23d.
Spot Wheat is unchanged, but the specu-
lative market is stronger; among to-day's
receipts were 1877, 800 centals from Port
Costa for export Barley is easy at the
quotations, which are unchanged; about
the only demand at the moment is from
local millers; options are firmer. Oats,
Corn and Rye are unchanged and trading
is rather slow.
Apples are in fair demand but Oranges
go slowly; no changes in prices. Plenty OF
Bananas now on the market Very few
Mexican Lines here.
Butter continues weak, in liberal supply,
and a decline is noted on Diaries and
Packed. Cheese is also lower. Ranch
Eggs are weak, but store are, if anything,
steadier for the moment.
