SPECULATIVE WHEAT MARKET
STRONGER.
An Easier f cling in BarIey-Red
Oats Firm, Feed Quiet-Corn
Market Easy.

San Francisco, Dec. 7th.
No change in Wheat to-day; the local
speculative market encouraged by bet
ter Chicago market, is stronger, but for
eign markets are weak: three cargoes are
down to-day from Port Costa for export.
The rain has caused an easier feeling in
Barley. No further changes in Oats; red
are firm; Feed Oats are quiet; receipts are
moderate. Corn arrivals to-day were
large; market is rather easy, offerings
being too heavy and buyers scarce.
The rain Will soon make an end to Straw
berries; to-day's receipts were Is chests
and they We're hard to SELL The market
continues heavily stocked with poor APP
pies and prices run low in consequence;
were it not for the large amount of poor
Apples here the prices OF choice stock
would improve Oranges, Lemons and
Lines are weak and dull; supplies are lib
eli al: the Oranges are still too green and
sour, as rule. Dried Fruits are steady,
except Prunes, which are duh and weak:
prices have declined during the week
During the week Butter and Eggs have
declined sharply and a further drop is
expected in both markets. Some dealers
quote even lower than our prices. Eggs
are coming in freely and there are large
quantities in cold storage. Butter from
nearby counties is arriving in large
