EASIER FEELING IN SPECULA-
TIVE WHEAT r1ARkET.
Barley Not Active-Buyers Hesitate
About Paying the Top Prices
for Feed.
San Francisco. Feb. 4th.

San Francisco, EeD. attn.
Wheat is unchanged, though there is an
easier feeling in the speculative market;
cargo of 10000 centals down from Port
Costa for England. Barley is not active;
buyers hesitate about paying the top price
for feed; brewing is nominally lower.
Trading in Oats and Corn does not improve
and prices remain unchanged; all that ar
rived of both to-day was from outside the
State.
Apples sell fairly we'll. One car of Apples
arrived to-day and one ear of Oranges.
Slow sale for Oranges.
Dealers differ considerably on Butter, but
the general feeling is one of steadiness at
our quotations. Cheese is weak for Cali
fornia makes, and rather steady on out
side goods. The temporary demand for
Eggs seems to have been satisfied and
sales are again slow and prices are lower;
1Sc seems to be full figure for ranch, as
is 16c for store lots.
California Poultry is doing better and al
most all kinds are advanced. All young
stock is wanted, but no old. Turkeys are
very scarce; some dressed brought as high
as 23c. OF young Ducks there are hardly
any coming in for market use, and no
fixed prices can be given. The same may
be said of young Pigeons. Some poor Hens
sell below the inside quotation. Eastern
is selling well at previously quoted prices
Not much game coming in.
