BETTER TONE TO THE WHEAT
MARKET.
Barley Remains Firm at Un-
changed Prices-Good Demand
for Brewing.
San Francisco. Jan. 20th.

Wheat is higher; there is a better tone
to the market; shippers are more disposed
to buy; Chicago market is stronger. Bar
ley remains firm at unchanged prices !;
good demand for brewing, with light Of
ferings. No changes in Oats; small arri-
walls and fair demand, gray and milling
are scarce. White Corn is higher; small
yellow is plentiful, but large is scarce; !;
market quite steady. Rye rules firm.
Occasional sales of Wheat Hay above
figures, but it is not quotable: market is
in good shape. arrivals being moderate and
demand good. No changes in Bran and
Middlings; not much coming in.
Apples are doing better; very few in to-
day; the prevailing low prices have caused
a let-up in shipments. Oranges continue
plentiful for small and scarce for large
sizes, especially Navels. The health au-
tboIities contemplate crusade on frozen
Oranges and this will no doubt supply the
market with better fruit. The Orange auc-
tions have not been started as yet, but
they probably will be in a day or two.
Some dealers are quoting lower prices
On Butter: our figures remain unchanged !;
the demand is light and a further decline
is expected. Ranch Eggs are lower and
are hard to sell; store are unchanged.
