San FRANCISCO, Dec. 18th.
The Chicago wheat market has regained
some of the lost ground of yesterday and
the local market is also stronger: foreign
advices are not encouraging Barley is
firmer; feed descriptions are not so plen-
tiful. and the demand has improved; op-
tions are higher. No changes in oats; very
small receipts to-day. No corn arrived
market steady at previous prices.
Heavy receipts of apples to-day, but they
are, as usual. largely poor stock Oranges
are also coming to hand freely and indica-
tions are that the market will be lower
Mediterranean Sweets are beginning to
show in quantities. Fancy lemons are
scarce and wanted, and will bring top
prices readily; small sizes are entirely too
plentiful and find no sale.
Owing to delay of steamers there is not
& great supply of butter here and the
market is steadier. There are more than
enough eggs here for the demand and the

AN EXCITING TIME AT MIR SEARS.
 There was an exciting half hour at Fred Sear's', Saturday night. The hired man, John Reardon, who since he has lived with them, has been uniformly kind and obliging in every way, came home late, intoxicated. MT Sears endeavored to persuade him to go to bed, but he be- came quite profane and started in for 8 fight. MT Sears, to save himself. seized chair and knocked him senseless, and then dragged him out of doors. Mrs Sears ran to the neighbors for assistance and Frank Forenbach came. Reardon revived and begged to come in. and MT Sears, thinking he had received such a lesson that he would behave, let him in. But as soon as he had entered, he was like & madman and was bent on killing MT Sears, who fought for his life, and with the help of Frsnk, after a hard struggle he was again put out, pretty we'll bruised up. MT Sears then went for & writ and Stephen Hayes with Lyman Patterson arrested Reardon the next af- ternoon. MT Patterson took him home with him for the night. The court was held.
