PURPOSES LOWER.

Ing to Small Stocks on Hand
Holders Are Firm.
San Francisco. Jan. 9Th.

! San Francisco. Jan. 6th
| Wheat for speculative purposes is lower;
the local market followed Chicago closely
] to-day, opening lower and subsequently
| gaining strength. There is less demand
Tor Barley, but owing to small stocks on
hand holders are firm: the rain has not
| affected the market, but from present re-
ports it has not been very general; the
speculative values declined sharply. Less
activity in Oats and Corn; prices are undis-
turbed; no Corn arrived and no Oats. eth
| er. Rye is not much in evidence and the
! market is stronger.
hay was trifie easier, but prices are
not affected: receipts are up to the aver
| age OF late. Bran is fairly well cleaned
up and IS lirm. Middlings also are firm.
very little movement in Apples and
Oranges. Ample stocks for all needs The
! Pears offering are poor and are no longer
worth quoting. Mandarins are firm.
Butter is lower: dealers have to force
| sales and prices are shaded: there is no
! scarcity. Cheese is rather easier; it is ac-
cumulating. Store Eggs are moving, ow-
ranch still seem to be above the views of
| buyers.
