SPOT WHEAT IS STEADY AT UN-
CHANGED PRICES.
Barley Options Advance Sharply
and Are Fairly Active-Spot
Firm at Quotations.

San Francisco. Feb. 18TH
Spot Wheat is steady at unchanged
prices; futures are higher; the Chicago
market jumped about at a lively pace
to-day, May opening at 81 031a, advanc-
ing to 81 0S, and closing at 81 06; two car
goes cleared yesterday, one for Cork, the
other for South Africa: another cargo
down to-day from Port Costa for Cape
Town. Spot Barley is unchanged, firmly
held at quoted prices; options advanced
sharply and are fairly active. No changes
in Oats; small arrivals to-day, market
steady. Corn is quiet at previous figures.
Hay is firm at unchanged prices; buyers
hesitate to pay the price, but holders are
firm, and some ask an advance on our fig
ures. Bran and Middlings are lower, under
an easier demand and liberal receipts.
Apples are weak; large stocks and slow
trade; what little business exists is for the
medium-priced stock. Fair call for Or
anges at unchanged prices Fresh arri-
walls of Mexican Lines are on the mar
ket; the steamer brought $40 cases to
bare market.
Butter Is gradually declining; stocks are
accommodating, although some houses are
fairly we'll cleaned up. Store Eggs are
steady, the market having been fairly Well
cleaned up on orders from the North;
ranch do not move we'll.
