WHEATFUTURES LOwER-SPOT
MARKET QUIET.
Hay Continues Firm and Further
Advances Noted for Some Kinds
Stocks Are Low.
San Francisco. Jan. 18th.


Wheat is lower; shippers are practically
out of the market; foreign markets are
weak; local futures are lower: the spot
market is quiet Barley has been quite
firm, but to-day the market eased off On
spot feed: futures are also lower. Oats
are firm and the market is fairly active:
prices have been advancing during the
week; receipts have been very small and
milling descriptions are quite scarce Corn
is steady; fair inquiry; ample supplies;
white is firm at an advance. Rye offers
sparingly and is firmly held at quotations:
not much call for it.
Hay continues very firm and further
advances are noted for some kinds: stocks
are low, receipts are small and further
rise Is probable; Alfalfa Hay that has been
held is now being moved Bran and Mid
dlings have ruled firm and during the
week prices advanced; not much coming
IN and the demand keeps the market well
cleaned up.
The Fruit market has been dull and un-
interesting. as rule. The supply of APP
pies and Oranges exceeds Athe demand
Frosts have damaged the southern Orange
crop considerably. Mandarins are pretty
well cleaned up. Cranberries are not
wanted; Fancy Lemons are in small sup
ply ana are firmly held at quotations.
Ihe Butter market has been on the de-
cline during the week; receipts Of domestic
stock have been larger, and there is also
considerable Eastern Tub Butter here; the
demand Is light. Cheese is also weak and
prices have been cut The only demand
for Eggs Is for store, and even they do not
move very well; the supply is not heavy,
yet ample: ranch are neglected.
