COMMERCIAL.
A FURTHER DROP IN WHEAT
PRICES RECORDED.
Barley Easy, With Downward Ten
dency-Oats Practically at
StandStiIl.

San Francisco, Jan. 26th-
For the past few days Wheat has been
declining and to-day a further drop is re-
corded; there have been few shippers in
the market, and millers seem to be sup
piled for the present. Since the 9th of last
November the lowest point on May Wheat
was reached to-day Barley has been easy,
with a tendency toward lower prices; the
market is not very active. Oats have been
practically at a standstill; excepting for
the small local wants there is no demand.
Corn is in liberal supply, particularly of
Eastern, and the market has been weak
and quiet; prices have declined during the
week.
The Fruit business is of dragging
nature. Quite lot of the box Apples ar
irving have been placed in cold storage.
Apples in barrels are not so plentiful as
they were a short time ago; some poor
stock sells below the inside quotation. n
few Fancy Reds in boxes bring 81 90, but
with these the market is Scantily supplied.
On Friday and Saturday there were quite a
lot of Oranges received, but as a rule re-
ceipts have been light, in keeping with
the demand; strictly fancy Navels are
rather scarce. There have been no MeXi-
can Lines on the market for the past
week or SO; there will be steamer due
tomorrow with 800 cases and one Satur-
day with about 400 cases.
