COMMERCIAL.
WHEAT MARKET DULL AND
UNINTERESTING.
Barley Steady, With no Changes in
Prices-Very Light Trading
in Oats.
San Francisco, Dec. 9th.

/ The Wheat market is dull and uninter-
esting; there were no informal call boards
this morning; Chicago is lower; spot
prices are unchanged. Barley is steady;
no changes in prices; receipts are not
heavy. Very light trading in Oats; re-
ceipts are small; previous prices stand.
Corn is offering more freely, but prices
i are not affected: demand is slow at
present.
Bran arrived freely, but the market is
no easier; prices are unchanged. Hay
and Middlings are firm at previous
prices, under light arrivals.
The Fruit trade is decidedly fiat as
usual following a holiday. No shipping
demand to-day from the north. Re
celpts all through We're very light. Plenty
of Apples Offering.
No changes to report in Dairy produce.
Dealers predict that the Butter market
will soften; the demand is lighter the
market, for the present, however, is still
excited.
